Benefits of being a franchisee |
| What the PT franchisee gets? |
He gets a great chance to explore his potential, exploit emerging market opportunities, and create a niche for himself. Following are some of the tangible benefits:
|
| Be your own boss ! |
Run your own business with none of the associated risks. It's like entering a race with a map in your hand and the finish line is sight. We increase your chances of success tremendously, to the point where your risk is almost zero. This is possible now as we have already taken the risk for several years, fine-tuned the courses & methodologies and developed better and streamlined programs. Thus, our effort for several years is put to your direct use.
|
| A unique, proven successful business plan ! |
We supply you with extremely well designed, effective and PROVEN training programs which have been painstakingly developed over the past 10 years and are fine tuned to produce results. The associated course material and methodology are also of the highest order. Remember, we are not talking in thin air. We are not building castles in air. We have actually done the work at the grass root level and we know what it takes to be a winner !
|
| Comprehensive and intensive training before you start ! |
|
We will invite you for a Personal meeting, where you will be able to observe a typical day's working at PT. This Orientation will be followed by our Comprehensive 30 day Training Module which will enable you to know everything about the business in detail. We will ensure that you are familiar with all aspects of the business and tell you about the various problems you will face, and also their solutions. You will also be given a number of audio visual tools containing recordings of all aspects of the course, classroom sessions, GDs, practice tests, seminars. So before conducting a session on, say, “Coordinate Geometry” or “How to crack Reading Comprehension?” or conducting a mock interview, you just have to view the relevant tool to get an idea of how to go about it in the best possible manner. This holds true for all courses run by PT.
|
| Proper systems for all your operations ! |
|
You will also get systems for handling all your operations efficiently. Enquiry, registration, fee collection, accounting, advertising and publicity, materials ordering and management procedures and systems for all these and more are contained in the PT Operations Manual. This document, we proudly claim, is the “Industry Standard” today. We also give standardized structures for fee receipts, registration forms, ID cards etc. so that your effort is minimized. Our new software PT-Prabandhan will radically streamline operations at your Centre. Thus the intensive effort put by a team of more than 70 individuals at the PT HQ in developing a system-based approach will be directly useful for your business success.
|
| Guidance and help in advertising and promotions ! |
You get ready made advertisement formats, posters, handouts and promotional plans. The benefits of national level advertising (as and when feasible) will also be available to you. There are standard tips on Seminars and marketing also. This expertise has been developed by us over the years specifically keeping in mind the market requirements of various geographical territories. Standardized support kits containing CDs etc. will be provided for your benefit.
|
| Continuous support and development ! |
|
Once you start, we will provide continuous support and guidance, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whenever you need. Based on research and an analysis of students' needs, the courses and the material will be developed and improved continuously. You, as a PT Franchisee, will reap the benefits of this process. The support is given through several modes. This includes written training material, video cassettes, e-mail support, telephonic support etc. You'll find that the PT HQ's support to its franchisees is unparalleled in the industry.
|
| Future development - Sky is the Limit ! |
As you gain experience, we will give you the choice of adding extra courses and services that we develop. These will be in diverse areas. The aim is to enable you to widen your scope and grow faster by catering to new markets. The base that you grow on will continue to be MBA Entrance Courses, MCA Entrance Courses, PDP, Post-XII Courses and GRE / GMAT / SAT / TOEFL Courses. This will be the main source of revenues and as such, should remain the focus of our Franchisees, for the initial few years.
|
| Cutting-edge, comprehensive & scientifically-designed courseware ! |
We also supply all the material to be given to the students. This includes everything that the student needs from Basic Lectures, Assignments, Tests to the handouts containing information about various examinations. This comes to thousands of pages per student and is supplied to you by PT-HQ. You will be pleased to learn that our study material is one of the BEST in the nation as on date. It is TOTALLY original and is developed by a team of highly qualified people from diverse fields. This year, we have revised the course once again and have incorporated the latest trends as seen in various actual examinations. And yes, rest assured - PT's material is better than most of its national competitors. We provide different sets of study material for different courses.
|
| All-India network of centres ! |
|
This is the biggest advantage that you, as a PT franchisee, can get. All these centres are connected via the Internet and tremendous amount of learning and upgradation takes place due to our "Online Nature". For different standardized tests, we provide All-India Rankings that help students judge themselves on a very realistic benchmark. Thus, you and your students get the benefit of being part of a national system that – in one shot – takes you miles ahead of your local level competition
|
| Honesty and transparency – hallmark of our relationship ! |
We assure you that each and every transaction that you will have with the franchiser (i.e., the PT HQ), will be characterized by complete honesty and transparency. The PT HQ firmly believes that its success depends entirely on the franchisees' success. This will ensure that you find your stay meaningful, enriching and tension free.
