In everything we do, there are systems that have been conceived, tested, refined and ultimately proven to increase efficiency and profitability. By taking the time to create standardized procedures, we assure the ability to duplicate our successes throughout the Weed Man Network. Our systems are based upon measurable results that can be compared across the Weed Man Network to create benchmarks for success. Proprietary software and algorithms have been created to ensure ease of operation and uniformity in the measurement of our dealers' results. This uniformity facilitates quick and consistent feedback from the field and feeds our relentless pursuit of innovation.
Dominant Purchasing Power
Weed Man franchisees enjoy extremely favorable volume pricing and payment terms negotiated with suppliers based on anticipated system-wide purchases. A central purchasing web site for uniforms, marketing materials, and other supplies adds an invaluable element of convenience to the competitive edge afforded by our Franchisees' pooled purchasing power.
Training & Support
The success of Weed Man dealers is built upon the twin pillars of training and support. Our initial 12-day training at Head Office in Toronto, Ontario addresses all aspects of business operations including administration, technical, marketing, business planning and budgeting. In order to provide the very best in dealer support and leadership, Weed Man built a team of regional Sub-franchisors that includes some the biggest names in lawn care. From this team of Sub-franchisors, our franchisees enjoy quick, easy access to local support; regular business planning meetings; educational seminars; and weekly teleconferences at critical times of the year.
Franchisees also enjoy the benefits of broader support from the Weed Man family at events like the Annual Dealer Conference where Weed Man Dealers from across the US and Canada come together to share their experiences and successes. Additionally, dealers enjoy educational seminars, performance awards and motivational speakers. The quality and nature of our dealer support has been recognized in a variety of business and industry publications, including Success Magazine's ranking of Weed Man #4 in its 2001 Franchisee Satisfaction Ranking.
