The Skyhawks Discovery Process
We offer a one-of-a-kind business opportunity that is fun, viable, and personally
rewarding. However, finding the right "fit" is what is most important to us. Therefore,
we have a dedicated team and a comprehensive discovery process, to help you determine
whether Skyhawks would be a great fit for you.
It is important to note that throughout our entire process we will be providing
you with plenty of information and answering all your questions regarding our franchise
program. We will also learn as much as we can about you, your background, your business
acumen, your sports experiences, and your goals. If you have come this far, then
you have taken the first step toward combining your passion and your career. Are
you ready to step up to the plate and join the big leagues? We’re here to help you
answer that question.
Below, we have outlined our discovery process:
Single
- Initial inquiry
is received by Skyhawks.
- Once you submit an inquiry to Skyhawks,
an Informational Brochure and a Program Fact Sheet will be sent to you via email.
- If it is determined that you are
qualified, a representative from Skyhawks will contact you to discuss
your motivation for contacting Skyhawks, your business background, your sports background,
and your educational background.
Double
- If you are qualified, and mutual
interest to move forward still exists, we will send you a Confidential Franchisee
Application (CFA) to complete.
- Once we have received your completed
CFA, we will contact you to discuss your application.
- If mutual interest exists after
reviewing the CFA, we will send you our current Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
and will schedule a time to review the FDD with you.
- After reviewing the FDD, if strong
mutual interest continues, we will open up our franchise network
to you. You will be able to contact a current franchisee. This will give
you an opportunity to hear first-hand what it is like to be a Skyhawks franchisee.
- A call will be conducted to discuss
and review the outcome of all your calls and visits with our franchisees.
We will also discuss your strategy and business plans as they pertain to markets
of interest, marketing ideas, infrastructure, etc.
- At this stage in our process, if
the “fit,” qualifications, and interest level are strong, we will
invite you to join us at an upcoming Discovery Day, held at our corporate
headquarters in
Spokane, WA
.
Triple
- Attend Discovery
Day. This is a great experience. You meet all of us and we get to meet
you. You will have a chance to confirm everything you think you already know about
Skyhawks, in addition to learning much more. At the end of Discovery Day, you should
have no unanswered questions. You will now be able to make a fully informed decision
as to whether Skyhawks is a great “fit” for you. Within 24 hours of attending Discovery
Day, the executive team at Skyhawks will decide if an approval will be extended
to you to become a franchisee.
- You will be notified of our
decision within 48 hours of attending Discovery Day.
Home Run!
