Helping students to succeed is our reason for existing as a company.

These are our commitments to your success:

SCHOLARS EDGE BUSINESS TOOLKIT

Upon being hired you will receive access to our state of the art company database known as “Edgemanager”. Once you receive this you will have access to our company manuals that walk you step by step through all of our proven company systems. In addition to this you will have access to all our company marketing, sales and production forms, as well as our painter and safety systems. Included in your toolkit will also be clothing so you look the part, as well as your start up marketing kit.

YOUR OWN BUSINESS COACH/ADVISOR

Each successful candidate is assigned a District Manager (“DM”) who becomes your personal business coach/advisor. They actively support you every step of the way – from building a business plan, to dealing with staff challenges. You’ll have weekly phone meetings with your DM to discuss progress, talk through issues, and of course regale your latest success stories! And anytime you are in a pinch or have a question, you can call your DM with your one-off questions.

Our District Managers have several years of experience in our industry, so they’ve been through it all before. They will be an invaluable sounding board and are in this with you.

BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT TRAINING

One of the highlights of the Scholars Edge Management Program is our comprehensive, high-impact business training weekend. The weekend focuses on the various management and entrepreneurship skills you need to successfully run your business.

You’ll learn essential business management skills such as:

MARKETING AND SALES TRAINING & SUPPORT

As part of our training, you’ll also learn essential marketing and sales skills. The Business Ownership Experience provides a full-scale marketing program for you to utilize, but you are empowered to create a marketing strategy and promotional material that works for you in your local area.Sales skills are important for any small business owner, and with the Scholars Edge Business Ownership Experience, you’ll build the interpersonal and professional sales skills you need to do a top-notch sales presentation.

FIELD TRAINING

As a Scholars Edge Operator, you’ll need to have painting knowledge and technical skill required to train your staff, oversee production, make accurate estimates and speak knowledgeably to your potential customers.
