Mike Andes reminds franchisees to check the Academy dashboard for Command Center walkthroughs, explains the process for creating a Christmas lights Instant Quote door hanger (three package options needed by September), and urges them to book hotels and complete conference forms soon.
All right, let's rock and roll. Today will probably be pretty quick. I see. There's just one question. So I'll try to let you all on your way and get some time back on your calendar. Quick update. Just a reminder, this comes up occasionally. I know sometimes we just forget.
In the.
On the dashboard under the Academy, there's a section that shows all the tasks that Command center does. We specifically, early this spring had one of the media team video somebody they screen recorded and they just showed what they were doing. It wasn't an explanation of everything they're doing because you're not going to explain in a five minute video of how you do payroll and bank reconciliations. But what you can do is you can just see how they do things. So I know some people is like, hey, I just like to see how Command center does stuff. There's a whole list of everything they do, how they do it, and you can kind of see it. Now keep in mind that is like six months old. We'll try to update those every year, each spring. So there's already some systems that are improved from a couple of those different departments. But in general you'll at least be able to see how to operate. For example, like the collections department has a different reporting mechanism and the way they do things now, et cetera. But we'll try to update them every year. I can't update them live time because we just be on a constant treadmill making videos. But here we'll try to update those. So feel free to check those out.
All right, let me just quickly drop this into the YouTube.
The question that came in, I just saw it. So let me just go over it real quick. That's a good one.
It's done.
Drop this into Facebook. Question is, let me just share my screen.
Nathan North, Pensacola. I saw the Christmas lights door hangers on the pro shop. Is there an Instant Quote version that is in the works? Was wondering, we was thinking we may hang these on existing clients as we do the routes later this summer, early fall. I like the idea. So I know that Kevin Fairburn and Ryan Payne listen to these. If you guys could collaborate since you know basically everyone who does.
Christmas lights and basically tell if you guys could just even send me just on the Franchise Advisory council like the three kind of options you all want to see on Instant Quote door hanger for lights, that'd be great. I just do not know everyone's markets enough, mostly because I wasn't at Memphis this year to know exactly what those three should be. I'm guessing like, you know, the basic is going to be, you know, white trim lights, for example. An option too would be like having some red and green in there. Third option might be having some lights on the, on the trees and shrubs, et cetera. So if Ryan Payne and Kevin, if you guys just collaborate real quick and then send me something, Franchise advisory council, or even if you want to just sketch something up just so I know what those three options should be and then I can give that to the media team and they'll design it, make it look pretty.
Putting lights around the boxes. We can do some cool stuff. But I just don't know what those three generalized.
Packages might look like for Christmas lights. So yeah, feel free. If you all have any feedback on those, feel free to talk to those franchise advisory council members and they can tell me what, what those three should be and then we will get those put onto the media team and in September we'll try to put something together. It's a good move. So I think that's all I got. Quick reminder, if you haven't already the conference, there's a form that you will need to fill out if you have not already. And that is to make sure that we can get enough seats for the dinner on Tuesday night as well as making sure we have enough seats and everything on Wednesday morning for the franchise portion of the conference. So definitely check that out. If you are looking to book hotel rooms, there's only a couple more weeks they're allowing us to be able to guarantee our slot, so highly recommend doing that. There is a specific chat inside the Facebook group about conference accommodations. If you'd like to split rooms with people, if you'd like to split rental cars, et cetera, feel free. Just keep in mind the hotel is very close to the.
The airport and very close to Equip Expo and very close to the church. So you should be able to Uber around or honestly walk around a lot of it. So you'd really just need an Uber to from the airport back to the hotel. You could basically stay there the whole, you know, a few days and then there's a bus that goes from Omni Hotel to Equip Expo back and forth all day long. So you could literally take the bus from there and then the church is like a few blocks away from the hotel. So if you're trying to save some money, probably don't need a rental car. But if you wanted to split like rooms, for example, definitely feel free to go in that chat and find someone that would like to split a room, for example, for you.
That's all I got. So I'll make this one nice and quick and nice and short and.
See you guys tomorrow. Take care.
