I am ahead of my initial plan, and I have cleaned hundreds of ovens, hobs &amp; extractors.<\/p>\n<p>I started my franchise in November 2011 after being made redundant twice in 12 months. Along with my wife, I came to the conclusion that we should look at going self-employed. We looked at various franchises and came across Oven Wizards, I contacted Mark Abbott and John Graham, who jointly own and run Oven Wizards, and the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n<p>After a phone call, a meeting was promptly arranged. We decided to go ahead with one stipulation which was that I wanted to start trading before the end of 2011 to take advantage of the pre- Christmas rush.<\/p>\n<p>Mark and John worked very effectively to get me up &amp; running and by November 21st, I was trading after a successful launch at a local supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>The two weeks hands-on technical training was very in-depth and gave me great confidence to go out on my own. The business training &amp; development was extremely informative and useful. Mark &amp; John are always on hand, along with any other members of the Wizards\u2019 community, should you need advice and support.<\/p>\n<p>When you become self-employed you are THE BOSS and you need to work hard to be successful. With much leaflet dropping, local advertising and all the other business development techniques I picked up in the training, the work started coming in. I am now always busy and because of the great service we provide I get lots of referrals from customers\u2019 family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>My experience with customers is to treat them with respect, be courteous, friendly and put them at ease, be confident and always, always, always be professional.<br \/>\nDo a good job and always clean up after you\u2019ve finished and believe me the word will spread.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there is competition out there but if you follow the Oven Wizards\u2019 model, you will see there is plenty of business to be had.<\/p>\n<p>My franchise gives me the flexibility to work 7 days a week or 4-5 days a week and you will soon find the phone never stops ringing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In terms of great value and support, I believe Oven Wizards is THE BEST franchise available on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David loves the flexibility and appreciates the excellent support.
