the
big questions
How
much will it cost me to start a Smith's School of
English franchise?
How do I get started?
What can I expect for income from my franchise?
Dear Readers,
When
we at Smith's School of English started our series of
open letters, we knew that the very idea of English
school franchises would be revolutionary to some, refreshing
to others. We presented the success stories and real-life
numbers of our franchisees in order for you to become
familiar with our concept and comfortable with our business
philosophy. As we continue to welcome more and more
franchisees into our group, we often hear the same questions
and the same concerns, again and again.
This
letter was first published many years ago. The answers
can all be found here.
Make
a commitment. Decide on your future. Stop complaining
about your current employer; the lousy pay, the lack
of motivated students, the hassles with the Japanese
staff, etc. Stop dreaming about making money working
as a mercenary teacher, running around all over the
place, hoping to make 6,000 yen per hour. That never
really gets put together and, just when you think its
looking smooth, it cancels on you.
Make a commitment to look after yourself and the ones
you care for. Give
us a call, and within a month you'll be in your
own store.
Sincerely Yours,
Mark Smith
Chairman
Smith's School of English
