Blossom Home Care is committed to going the extra mile to ensure the perfect fit between franchisee and franchisor. For this reason, it offers prospective Blossom franchisees a unique opportunity to spend two days with its head office team after paying their deposit.
Potential franchisees find this hands-on experience so early on in the process to be invaluable; it enables them to dive deeper into the day-to-day world of running a thriving Blossom business before fully committing to signing on the dotted line.
What prospective franchisees experience
During the two days, prospective franchisees benefit from a range of practical demonstrations, including:
- Accompanying staff on an assessment or client review
- Observing a spot check on carers in action
- Seeing how to use Blossom’s internal systems and tools for people and care planning
- Seeing how staff rotas are created and managed
- Understanding the process for submitting potential safeguarding concerns
This real-world insight equips prospective franchisees with the tools and knowledge they need to find success as a Blossom business owner.
The benefits
For those interested in becoming a Blossom Home Care franchisee, there are several key reasons why this two-day shadowing is so helpful:
1. Try before you buy
Buying a franchise is a life-changing decision; Blossom wants its franchisees to feel 100% confident that Blossom Home Care is the right choice for them. Its two-day shadowing experience allows attendees to step into the shoes of a Blossom franchisee to see if they can envision themselves in this role. Prospective franchisees observe the company’s working environment and interact with team members, helping them to decide whether the dynamic and supportive culture is a good fit.
2. Experience life as a Blossom franchise
One of the biggest highlights of this experience, Blossom says, is getting a first-hand look at a day in the life of a franchisee. Attendees will observe how a successful office operates, learn about the ongoing marketing efforts required to establish and grow a business, and see the systems used to manage recruitment, care delivery, and financial planning.
By the end of the two days, prospective franchisees will leave with a clear understanding of the work, investment, and effort required, as well as the support they can expect to receive along the way.
3. Discuss concerns with the support team
During their visit, prospective franchisees get the chance to identify and discuss potential challenges with a team of highly experienced franchise managers. The latter are on hand to provide guidance, address any concerns, and help attendees evaluate this big decision from all angles. This ensures franchisees are making an informed choice that aligns with their personal and professional goals.
4. Gain full transparency into how Blossom operates
Blossom Home Care believes in complete transparency – spending two days at head office gives prospective franchisees a behind-the-scenes look at how the company’s successful franchise offices operate. Visitors see the roles and responsibilities of staff members, the hierarchy of the business, and the responsive nature of this premium care service.
From learning how Blossom implements exceptional care to understanding the benefits of its brand and suppliers, prospective franchisees gain valuable insights to help them make the right decision. The experience demonstrates exactly what it takes to build and run a profitable Blossom Home Care franchise.
5. Establish goals to ensure mutual success
In Blossom’s view, ensuring complete alignment between franchisee and franchisor is key to the long-term success of any business. By shadowing its team, prospective franchisees have the chance to ask questions, explore their motivations, and determine if their values, vision and goals align with those of the company. This sets the tone for the franchisor/franchisee relationship from the outset.
