The Company That Sends its Franchisees to "School" | Screenmobile University (SMU)

“College isn’t for everyone, but education is.” That philosophy is the focal point of franchisor Scott Walker, who created Screenmobile University (or SMU): a unique 2-week intensive training course that turns young entrepreneurs into qualified Screenmobile franchisees. I’d like to suggest a feature for Franchise Harbor about why SMU was established and what it teaches new franchisees.

STORY DETAILS:

Scott Walker, CEO of Screenmobile- the largest screening franchise in the U.S., has always valued bringing young talent into his franchise. In fact, many Screenmobile franchisees have begun in their young 20’s and don’t have a college degree. But that also means that these entrepreneurs are lacking the experience and knowledge to run a business. To Walker, this wasn’t a deal breaker, but rather an opportunity to teach fresh, motivated entrepreneurs with an alternate form of college education at SMU.

In Screenmobile’s 2-week intensive franchise course, new franchisees learn everything they need to run a business, with classes that focus on:

· Administration, sales and basic small business education

· How to buy raw goods and price their products

· Customer relations and communication

· Product knowledge in the screening industry

· How to manufacture, install and repair screens

If you’re interested in taking a closer look at SMU and its teachings, I would be happy to put you in touch with Scott Walker and/or Screenmobile franchisees that are students of this education.
