The Real Learning Experience Training Franchise highlights three top reasons people buy franchises

Three key reasons people decide to leave their job in the corporate world and buy a franchise are; income potential, new challenges and a better lifestyle.

Simon Thiessen of The Real Learning Experience Training Franchise suggests that those interested at looking at this kind of change should do some thorough homework first.

Mr Thiessen explained, “People need to look realistically at the income potential of a franchise, then look equally realistically at the hours it will take to achieve that income. If you’re going to be working six or seven days a week, you’ll most likely be compromising the lifestyle aspects that are also important to you.”

The Real Learning Experience is one of Australia’s leading corporate training organisations for excellence, and is seeking franchisees in major capital cities and key regional centres.

One of the benefits is that franchisees can expect flexibility with their time, will normally only work on weekdays, and can keep overheads down with a home office.

“Good corporate trainers can expect a healthy income without exceeding 40 hours a week of actual training and administration time, while the opportunity is there for those who want to work longer hours to achieve a very good income,” Mr Thiessen says.

“People with family responsibilities can certainly balance these with their training commitments. As the overheads are low, particularly with a home office, this is also a high margin business.”

Training qualifications or experience is not required for prospective franchisees, as four weeks intensive training is provided. However, prospective franchisees will need a real focus on excellence, a positive attitude to life and the drive to build a successful business.

A big passion for helping others reach their potential is also important – and herein lies a great deal of challenge and satisfaction for franchisees.

“No two corporate training sessions are ever the same,” Mr Thiessen says. “The more energy you put into planning and delivering a program, the more energy and enthusiasm comes back from the participants. This is when real change can occur for them – and it also sends you home with a real buzz of success.

“Corporate training really is an ideal career change for people who want to be the best they can be – and to help others along the same path.”
