What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program for new franchisees involves a combination of online and in-person instruction. The online portion is conducted via Spray Net's E-Learning Network and takes approximately 3-5 days to complete, depending on the franchisee's participation level. This online training covers basic introductory topics about the Spray Net system and brand.
The in-person portion of the initial training typically lasts up to 5 business days and includes classroom instruction. Additionally, Spray Net provides up to three business days of sales training and five business days of production training, both conducted within the franchisee's designated territory. The sales training occurs after the franchisee completes the classroom instruction, the initial marketing for the franchise begins, and a certain number of service appointments are secured. The production training follows the sales training and requires an agreed-upon number of service contracts.
Spray Net also provides a table that shows the location for different modules of training. The Vision and Values, Paint Systems, Budgeting, Cash Flow, and Weekly Goals and Planner modules are all conducted via virtual training.
