Taking control of your diary






I'm being asked to explain how it works from a timing point of view, and I'm guessing that might be on other people's mind too so here is some guidance.  The ultimate answer is that you, the franchisee are in control of how many courses you run and the timing of them.  But let me give the above example just as a sample.  

You'll see that in the month of December you might choose to run three BIG TOM intensive courses.  There is a weekend course for Amy running 10am - 2pm, and two x weekday courses: a daytime morning one for Sue (that's nice because it gives you the afternoon and evenings all to yourself), and lastly an afternoon/evening one for John running 4-8pm.  You will have been paid £700 for each course, three weeks prior to the start of them, so in this case, in November.

So in the month of December, you are off more days than you are working.  You are only working with three different customers all month (limits the risk to Covid exposure).  When you are working it fits perfectly in line with your own commitments.  Even when you take into account the taking of driving tests (at 2 hours per test), this means that the total hours worked is 66 = £31.82/hr. Remember, you don't have to pay for test fees or even book them, that is all done for you by BIG TOM Admin. And look at all the days off you have around Christmas!

There is no need to work weekends if you don't want to.  You might work three courses in a month, perhaps more, maybe less.  You are managing outcomes here; less risk, more control.
