Establish skills and prove yourself with our training program
Deciding you want to become a Growth Coach franchise owner doesn’t require you to know how to be a flawless business coach beforehand. We’ve perfected rigorous training programs that cover every aspect of the coaching experience, and we’re constantly updating our materials and the training that goes with them.
The path to becoming a Growth Coach begins almost immediately after you sign the agreement. The five-week Jump Start program is an online, in-home training program that helps get you ready for the week-long site training in Cincinnati. We strive to give you the foundation you’ll need to start business on Day One.
Though much of The Growth Coach model is easy to follow, we nevertheless focus a significant portion of the training on getting you ready to deliver the programs to your clients, and you’ll work with Growth Coaches who have the experience to help you become the best coach possible.
“They take you through how the coaching process works and help you learn to work a system that’s been so successful for The Growth Coach,” says Clint Blinka, owner of The Growth Coach of The Woodlands, Texas. “This allows you to, in just a week, become an effective facilitator and coach.”
After the initial week of training, you’ll continue working with our internal coaches and trainers and with a mentor Growth Coach to perfect your understanding and delivery of our programs. From beginning to end, you’re never alone in the process.
Franchise owners have confidence in a tested system with tremendous growth potential
Sixty-seven territories across the U.S. demonstrate The Growth Coach’s tremendous potential for growth. Franchise owners are a vital part of that growth, and our U.S. operations are no different. We value franchisee input, and we encourage them to provide regular feedback on our franchise system — what’s working and what could be working better.
Growth Coach listens closely to what the franchisees are telling us about the feedback they’re getting from clients and the markets they’re serving. We can respond immediately to market conditions, develop a new program, test it and put it into the hands of the coaches much faster than the competition.
This in turn drives growth. The sales manager training programs as an example of how The Growth Coach leverages its resources to maximize potential. The program was created to help sales managers and sales teams through the Great Recession — and it was deployed in record time.
Franchise owners are provided with the marketing and branding needed to make an impact
A business is only as good as the brand image it creates. At The Growth Coach, we take that image quite seriously. Recently, we undertook a major update of all our marketing and branding materials, including a new logo that demonstrates our global appeal. For Josh Johns, Director of Marketing for The Growth Coach, making sure franchisees have what they need is of paramount concern.

All the while, you’ll have the support you need from our top-notch management team.
“It’s very hands-on,” Josh says. “We try to be just as hands-on with our franchisees as they are with their clients. In a real way, our team is trying to model to them what they are trying to do as a coach to their clients. We definitely practice what we preach.”
