“Its a minefield out there
sifting through hundreds of business systems.
The more knowledgeable you become from your
research you'll quickly recognise its not a job
you need. 99% of the purported businesses and
franchise systems out there offer you a job
whereby you are expected to exchange your time
for money.
That’s
not what Maid2Clean is about. A real business is
one that will pay you whether you are there or
not in the long term. Don't be taken in by
promises of turnover, a business is about making
money. Turnover is ‘vanity’ - profit is the only
thing that counts.” Mike Hanrahan

Maid2Clean®’s
5-phase training comprises:
1. Completion of the
pre-launch To-Dos after reading the 450 page
Maid2Clean® operations manual.
“This enables the
franchisee to read about the business in advance
of the training. Once a franchisee has read the
operations manual the majority of the rest of
the training is done by affirmation, which is
one of the most powerful forms of long term
memory training” confirmed Mike Hanrahan MD.
2. Process Training at Head
Office
The
second phase of the training builds on the
knowledge gained from phase 1, including
role-play situations and Q&A type scenarios.

Maid2Clean® publishes training sessions several
months in advance and all franchisees are
invited to attend any or every session. “Others
in the industry simply offer franchisees one-off
classroom based training days. At Maid2Clean we
do things differently and offer our franchisees
unlimited training and ongoing support. Training
and development is first and foremost on our
agenda as we strive to remain innovative, grow
our businesses and stay ahead of the
competition” Mike
Hanrahan (Franchisor)
In addition to the 5-phase
training programme, Maid2Clean® organises an
annual training conference for all franchisees.
Something else that keeps
Maid2Clean® as the company that others follow
relates to the attitude of Maid2Clean®
franchisees. Mike Hanrahan stated franchisees have taken it upon themselves each quarter, to host a business improvement day in different places in the UK specifically designed to share best practice ideas with other franchisees, such is the strength and enthusiasm for the business within of the franchise. I don’t know of another franchise where this type of activity takes place on such a wide scale.” Mike Hanrahan (Franchisor)
“I chose Maid2Clean because it’s the number one domestic cleaning franchise.”
