To get the process started you will fill out the form on this website to request more information. Our Director of Franchise Development will then reach out to you to answer any additional questions and schedule your step 2 call if you would like to proceed.
DISCOVERY CALLS.
The first scheduled discovery call will be a short 30 minute power point between yourself and our Director of Franchise Development. He will give you a more in depth look at our brand, industry, market, and franchise opportunity. At the end of the call he will send you an application that will qualify you to be awarded a franchise, and schedule a call between yourself and our Founder.
RECEIVE THE FDD.
After your call with our Founder, Adam Rice, we will send you the FDD. Over the next week or so, our Director of Franchise Development will be in touch to go through the main points as well as be a resource to answer any questions.
DISCOVERY DAY.
This is where the fun begins! We will bring you to our corporate HQ just outside Charlotte, NC to experience the ISI Brand in action. You will have an opportunity to feel the excitement of this brand in person, meet our Founder, meet our corporate HQ team, and meet a few of our vendors/partners. We will take you out to dinner on Thursday evening, and then plan for a jam packed Friday.
SIGN FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.
We make it official! The next step after Discovery Day is being awarded a territory and opportunity to partner with us in changing and impacting lives! Once you have officially been awarded a franchise, the franchise fee is paid, and the agreement is signed then it is time to immediately get to work on the next phase.
PHASE 2
Preparing To Open Your Location.
SITE SELECTION.
The first thing we will do is have our real estate team work hand in hand with you to select your site. We have an exclusive real estate group that we work with that knows, understands, and has been around our brand to help you acquire the most effective location in your territory. Site selection takes anywhere from 30-90 days.
FACILITY BUILD OUT.
Once your site has been selected, then the build out process will begin. The build out is unique for every location, and for that reason we require that you use our preferred construction management team. They will be in your corner making sure that the General Contractor is performing, hitting deadlines, and doing everything to the ISI standards. They are very reasonably priced, and will save you a ton of stress and expensive mistakes throughout the build out process.
TRAINING.
You will go through about 25 hours of pre-training before you ever come to our Corporate HQ for hands on training. Training USUALLY will take place Monday through Friday at our Corporate HQ outside of Charlotte, NC. Here you will learn everything you need to know to effectively run a thriving ISI Elite Training location - we call this ISI Academy.
PRE-SALES / BRAND AWARENESS.
Shortly after build out begins, we will have you start our strategic marketing and brand awareness program. This will allow you to start marketing 60-90 days prior to opening, and allow you to create an ISI community and fan base in your territory prior to even opening the doors. In addition, you will launch phase 1 pre-sale membership opportunities approximately 60 days out from the Grand Opening.
PHASE 3
Grand Opening
GRAND OPENING!
The day has come! Our team members will be at your location for your Grand Opening for up to three days to support you and make sure everything runs smooth.
