The required program includes a Bootcamp and a minimum of eleven (11) months of reinforcement training and coaching. Area Presidents are expected to begin this program within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. The program starts with a Bootcamp which is offered either in-person (a two-day back-toback session in Columbus, Ohio) or virtually (as 4 half-day sessions with two sessions held during each of two consecutive weeks) by The Ruby Group. After the completion of Bootcamp, the Area President will begin reinforcement training and coaching. Reinforcement training sessions are conducted virtually and include 90 minutes of virtual instruction held once a week. Coaching consists of individualized monthly one-on-one coaching sessions with an assigned Sandler coach. We will pay for the cost of this program up through the eleventh month of reinforcement training and coaching. Should an Area President elect to continue to participate in reinforcement training and coaching beyond the required minimum eleven (11) months, the Area President is responsible for 100% of the monthly costs for the duration of their participation.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Area Presidents are required to participate in a Sandler Sales Training program through The Ruby Group. The Bootcamp portion of this program is offered either in-person or virtually. The in-person Bootcamp is a two-day session held in Columbus, Ohio. Alternatively, the virtual Bootcamp consists of four half-day sessions spread over two consecutive weeks.
This means that if a Focus Cfo Area President chooses the in-person Bootcamp option, they must travel to Columbus, Ohio, for the two-day training. This detail is important for budgeting and planning, as the Area President is responsible for their own travel, lodging, food, and other out-of-pocket expenses associated with attending the in-person Bootcamp. The FDD specifies that Focus CFO covers the cost of the Sandler Sales Training program up to the eleventh month of reinforcement training and coaching, but travel expenses for in-person training are the Area President's responsibility.
Prospective Area Presidents should consider the costs and time commitment associated with the in-person Bootcamp in Columbus, Ohio, versus the virtual option when evaluating the Focus Cfo franchise opportunity. Understanding these requirements and associated costs is crucial for making an informed decision about joining the Focus Cfo franchise system.
