Who is Healthy Inspirations

Once you make that decision we have a huge range of support services and processes to help you start your business properly and to increase your chances of success.

The business does take some hard work, especially in the first year. We look for people with local knowledge and connections, and the willingness to get outside and promote their business to the local community. The other thing we look for are people who are passionate about living a healthy lifestyle and helping others achieve this as well.

We're very community minded. We care about preventive health and especially preventing childhood inactivity and obesity.

If you share some of these passions, and you are keen to work hard to create your own successful business, we look forward to working with you.

We often get asked by the male partner "What are the roles for a male within this business that services women?" The answer is simple as it depends upon where your talents and energies lie. If your have a flair for marketing, most of that happens outside the four walls of the centre. If you're a numbers guy, then somebody has to look after the accounts, banking and payroll. If your good with your hands, you can help in building the centre and keeping the centre and the equipment in ship shape order.

This business is a partnership of energies, between the franchisees, their team and us.

Please make a list of questions. We have prepared some questions for you as sometimes people simply don't know what to ask.

I look forward to meeting you on the phone, by email and in person. Call us anytime on 1300 799 669.

 

National Training Manager: Robyn Jordan

My role is to empower the franchisees and their teams with thorough training in the simple-to-follow sales and operations systems. Our goal is to set a high standard so that each franchisee feels confident in their ability to run a centre, and that they have a great team of well trained staff. We assume no prior knowledge with our training program, but look for people who are willing to learn and are passionate about helping women and promoting their business locally.

The training starts with the franchisee attending a full week training at another centre or in our national support office. This gives them an understanding of the qualities needed when recruiting their own team.

We then run a full week's onsite training program with the franchisee and their chosen team.

Also, we understand that team members will come and go. For this reason we provide each franchisee with an on-the-job self-paced audio training program, where the franchisee can supervise the training of new team members or the ongoing training of existing team members. Complete notes and checklists are provided for this program.

Our goal is that every participant enjoys the training and comes out feeling confident in the program and comfortable in the no-pressure marketing and sales processes.
