What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated training salary for in-house sales consultants is $20,800. This figure is part of the estimated initial investment for the project. The payment arrangement is "as arranged" and is to be paid to the in-house sales team.
Epcon Communities anticipates that franchisees will need to hire and train sales consultants before entering into purchase contracts with homeowners. The $20,800 is an estimate of these costs during the initial training period. The FDD also notes that most franchisees have an in-house team of sales consultants to help facilitate unit sales.
It is important to note that this is just an estimate, and the actual costs may vary. The FDD indicates that a weekly salary of $800 per consultant is estimated, but the salary amounts can vary. The estimate provided assumes one sales consultant is paid a weekly salary of $800 per week for 26 weeks. After the initial training period, Epcon Communities recommends shifting to a full commission compensation structure for sales consultants.
