Benefits

Corporate and Hands-On Training

Week 1 – Training is hands-on and real-world. During training, you will work on a variety of doors that are being refinished for actual clients. You will see our refinishing process from start to finish. You will also role-play scenarios that you will encounter in your business: presenting a quote, picking up a door, delivering a door, getting paid, and so on. The Door Renew “Refinishing Manual,” which details every step in the refinishing process, will be included in your training.


Business Preparation

These items will be prepared before the launch of your business:

  • Bank setup
  • Business registration
  • Obtaining a Vehicle
  • Gathering Business Supplies
  • Setup accounts for the Door Renew Content Management System and Intranet
  • Review Support Material
  • Marketing Plan
  • Financial Projections

Business Launch

After training, we have a road map to guide you through your 4-week launch sequence. The road map keeps you focused on activities that are most important for a successful and speed launch. Of course, weekly calls and support from the home office will be scheduled during this critical phase. Once things are up and running, we will come to your location for two days of additional face-to-face training. This visit is a great time to get your questions answered, identify strengths, reinforce challenges and make sure you are following the Door Renew system.


On-Demand Training Videos

Door Renew has training videos to aid you and your employees in all aspects of the Door Renew business. Your and your employee’s time is valuable, and you need answers quickly, so most of the videos are short, 10 minutes, and cover a single topic, i.e., “How do I prepare an estimate?” Other videos are more in-depth for more extensive issues relating to actual door restoration. You and your employees can access your smartphone or computer wherever you are.

Testimonials

“After working an office job, Door Renew is a breath of fresh air. There are no useless meetings, no frequent trips taking me away from home, and if I work extra, I get paid for it! At first, I was concerned that there wouldn’t be enough doors in my area and generate enough revenue/profit. That was five years ago. I was busy right out of the gate, and every year has been better than the previous one. Too bad I didn’t start with Door Renew earlier.” – John, Southeast Michigan


“After being laid off in the recession in 2009 (after a sales/engineering job at the same company for 29 years), I could not find gainful employment. I found Door Renew. It allowed me not to travel for a corporate job and to grow my business quickly. Also, I was home for the birth of 5 grandchildren! Now I have been able to hire people within my community and give them gainful employment! A win-win situation.” – Dee, Northern Kentucky


“My wife and I are getting ready to retire from our long-time corporate jobs and begin second careers in the door restoration business, working right out of our garage. We don’t seem to have any competition in our area, and in fact, a lot of our work comes from outside the area. We are blessed to be our bosses. We are doing something good for our community, and our customers have all been pleased.” – Jack, Southeast Michigan
