A very mixed but honest experience
I want to offer a very balanced review and will start with the positives as there are definitely some. The support team is great, very responsive , helpful and is honestly the best thing about the organisation. My BDM is also lovely albeit it very stretched. I consider myself a fairly intelligent, rational person who although did my research has been mislead about the franchise. The two most worrying aspects are price parity and commission structures. Both of these are so very different from initial discussions. The initial financial claims made I think were very inaccurate and have made me feel very very mislead . This has left me feeling foolish and sad as I was so excited about this opportunity. There is a huge drive for new consultants but the owners perhaps need to reassess and give the people who have joined help and support. There are most definitely consultants who are making a profitable business but be aware this takes time, contacts and a huge effort. You need to be a self starter who can do everything for yourself. Take the original sales pitch with a pinch or salt and be aware that you will often not be able to match prices without using a chunk of your commission. plus factor in a lot of hidden charges . I would end by saying although the franchise hasn't been what I expected I am going to continue my with it and this is by no means a reflection of the franchisees . i have found everyone to be very professional. if you have booked a holiday with them rest assured you will be well looked after.
