Is Crestcom Right for Me

Leverage your experience and own a business that matters. Crestcom is a franchise for the professional executive who is looking for a change. If you have worked in a corporate environment and are looking for a new venture to leverage your experience, this could be the right fit. Ask yourself the following questions to help you evaluate what you are looking for in your next career.

  • Do you want to be part of a growing network with a meaningful purpose?
  • Do you want to create your destiny and invest in yourself?
  • Are you passionate about helping people grow into great leaders?

If your answer to these questions is yes, then Crestcom can help you get started on a new path.

  • Make an Impact - The Crestcom Bullet Proof® Manager program changes lives, organizations, and communities.
  • Invest in Yourself - As a business owner, you define your schedule, your goals, and your future.
  • You Are Not Alone - We provide the proven processes, tools, software, products and support.

We Are a Franchise

We give our franchisees the tools to market, sell, and deliver award-winning leadership development and management training programs.

Franchising is not an industry but rather a way to do business. Usually, there are two parties:

  • THE FRANCHISOR provides intellectual property, products, and processes. 
  • THE FRANCHISEE licenses the right to use the franchisor’s name, brand, and processes to distribute the franchisor’s products or services in exchange for an initial fee plus ongoing royalty.

Franchise Structure: Franchisees typically serve both as salespeople and facilitators, signing up clients and subsequently leading the coursework. As franchisee’s scale, many will hire sales representatives or facilitators, while the franchisee maintains a close relationship with the CEO.

Area Representative: Besides the unit agreement (referred to as “franchisee” typically), Crestcom Area Representatives recruit franchisees on behalf of Crestcom in a defined territory and provide support to the individual franchisees within the same area.

Training and Development Industry

Global corporate training spending has been steadily increasing over the past several years, with a total spend of $362.2 billion in 2018. The leadership training market is one of the only L&D markets that has experienced growth independent of economic trends year after year.  Training Industry research estimates that in 2018, organizations around the world spent about $3.4 billion with leadership development solutions and program vendors; we predict that spending will increase in 2019.” Crestcom products provide you an unmatched opportunity to deliver the most comprehensive leadership program directly to companies in your local market each year.

Our Ideal Candidate

Our successful franchisees vary in age and backgrounds, including executives, marketing managers, engineers, retired military, accountants, attorneys, teachers, sales managers, and entrepreneurs. Generally, they all possess the following qualities:

  • Excellent communication skills
  • Time management skills
  • The ability to develop relationships and trust
  • Comfortable selling to executives
  • Like-able self-starter with a positive attitude

An Affordable Business Model

Crestcom is an affordable, home-based investment opportunity.  For more than 30 years, franchisees have used our products, training, technology, business systems, and expertise to build profitable and sustainable businesses that impact their communities.

  • Flexible Payment Terms

As an independent business owner, you have the flexibility to negotiate payment terms with your customers that suit your business. Royalty and distribution fees are due once you have received payment from your clients.

  • Low Overhead

Since you will run your Crestcom business from home, your overhead will usually be lower than other brick and mortar businesses. You do not incur high, ongoing venue expenses since Crestcom allows for bartering in exchange for the cost of your training venue.

  • Streamlined Administration

The Crestcom Learning Portal provides streamlined participant communication and reporting, which reduces your administrative time. No inventory is required, and training materials are available as needed.

  • Recurring Revenue

The Crestcom Continuing Education program allows your participants to continue learning well beyond the initial 12-month leadership training program, and it will enable you to enjoy a recurring revenue stream.

  • Repeat Business & Referrals

Our Crestcom franchisees, because of the high quality of our program and service, experience a combined high repeat and referral percentage of more than 55%.

  • Incentive for Discounted Royalties

Crestcom offers an incentive to franchisees allowing them to earn a credit that discounts their royalties by 14% and 29% for sales above certain revenue thresholds.

  • Estimated Gross Revenue Margin before Expenses

61.87%

Discovery Process

Our discovery process is among the most transparent in the industry. We train you in our marketing, sales, and facilitation processes before you sign the franchise agreement.

We do this to ensure we are partnering with top talent to represent our brand and so that you have all the information you need to make an informed business decision.

  • Get to Know Each Other

We will arrange a quick call with you to discuss your level of interest in owning a Crestcom Franchise, territory availability, initial qualifications, and our process. We will answer any preliminary questions you may have.

  • Business Model Review – Live Webinar

In this unique online presentation hosted by the Crestcom Franchise Development Director, you will better understand our franchise value proposition and have the opportunity to ask questions of your knowledgeable facilitator.

  • Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)

Assuming there is a mutual interest in continuing to move forward, you will receive and read the Crestcom Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

  • FDD Review and Q&A

We will review any questions you may have about the FDD, the financial investment, and your territory. At the end of the call, we will prepare you for telephone calls with existing Crestcom franchisees and set a tentative date for your Candidate Training at our Headquarters in Denver, Colorado.

  • Talk with Existing Franchisees

We will provide you with the contact information for all of our franchisees and encourage you to reach out to as many as you wish.

  • Candidate Training at Headquarters in Colorado

Candidate Training is a two-and-a-half-day visit to our Denver headquarters in which you will meet face-to-face with the Crestcom home office staff. You will meet with our management team and those who will support you.

Franchise Candidate Training

Your Crestcom business ownership journey begins in earnest during our franchise candidate initial training. During this time, you will become familiarized with our system and methodologies—so you understand our marketing, selling, and facilitating processes—and meet our corporate support staff. We are the only franchise that trains you before signing an agreement. We want to make sure that you fully understand our process and are informed before making a decision

Getting Started- What to Expect

Once you’ve signed your franchise agreement, you’re expected to apply yourself towards learning and internalizing how to market, sell, and conduct the Crestcom leadership development program. You will then launch your business while being supported through coaching calls and full operational support towards closing your first sale within 90 days. 

Sales

During the first three months, the operations and coaching staff will guide you in mastering our sales process. We believe that success comes from the internalization of these steps, which gives you confidence when presenting them. 

Bootcamp

You’ll attend our four-day Boot Camp training workshop, held monthly at our corporate headquarters in Denver, or a mutually agreed-upon local venue. In Bootcamp, we cover what you need to know to get started:

  • Business model overview
  • Operations overview
  • Social Media
  • Lead Generation
  • Marketing
  • Booking Appointments
  • The Executive Overview
  • The Pre-Meeting Talk
  • The Leadership Skills Workshop
  • Facilitation

As a franchisee, you will sell and facilitate the Crestcom Bullet Proof® Manager program, which is a 12-month program covering two modules per month. Graduates of the Bullet Proof® Manager program are eligible to enroll in Crestcom Continuing Education, a product that can provide you with a recurring client base and sustained revenue year over year.

Crestcom provides you with content demonstrations and access to monthly facilitation and support webinars to help you prepare. No one is an expert, and no one needs to be. Participants discuss ideas directly during session activities, making the role of facilitators easy. Facilitation training is an ongoing process for new and experienced franchisees. Crestcom franchisees have the advantage of more than 30 years of experience and global insights that help us identify and address needs.
