Polly Booth, Franchisee of Nottingham East and surrounding areas launched her area in September 2024. A former Assistant Head at a Primary school, Polly was looking for a better work, life balance and flexibility around her family. She shares with us how her initial training worked and how it got her ready for launching her area.
Boogie Beat Music and Movement provide new franchisees with a personalised training plan how useful was this?
I found this very useful as it enabled me to look ahead at what was coming up in each session. I also used it as a tick list and highlighted off each task when I had completed it to keep me on track. It was also useful to see what Head office were planning for my training.
The training was completed online with 1-1 sessions with Hannah, Franchisor and Owner of Boogie Beat Music and Movement, did you enjoy it being held online and did this way work for you?
The training was great. I found it being online very useful as I was able to complete it at home and around my son’s childcare. If it had been in person I would have found it very difficult to be away from my son to complete the training.
Everything was broken down in to manageable sections so it didn’t ever feel overwhelming. It was a good balance of the business side and delivery. It is also really useful having the trainings recorded as I have looked back over them a lot especially when learning the songs and dances.
Would you have preferred the training in person?
No, I didn’t feel the need for this.
Was there anything that wasn’t covered but you wish it was?
No, I feel as though it has set me up well for starting my business and I know there is lots more training and support on our back of house system for when I need it and I can access this 24/7.
Your training was held once a week did you feel this gave you enough time to practice/watch training/arrange to complete what was needed?
Yes, the timings were perfect.
Is there anything else that you would like to comment on with the training?
Hannah is fantastic, she is so helpful and very skilled in explaining things in a way that makes it easy to take on board. I felt as though I could ask her anything and that she really cares, thank you, you are a star!
