Miracle Method provides on-going training for franchisees and technicians

By

To provide the best kitchen and bath surface refinishing for our residential and commercial customers, Miracle Method conducts exclusive continuing education workshops for franchisees and their technicians.  This continuing education is a big part of why Miracle Method is the nation’s Number 1 surface refinishing company.

Hands-on training is always a part of Miracle Method training sessions.

Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, said “These workshops not only add to the technical ability of our franchisees and their technicians, but also help maintain the gap between ourselves and our competitors. No one else in the surface refinishing industry offers continuing education programs.”

We present three annual workshops, each of which covers the latest techniques and developments in the surface refinishing of bathtubs, tile, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble, and laminate bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Additionally, we’re also introducing an exclusive application system for our Natural Accents® stone-look finish, which  makes the refinished surface look even more like natural stone. The first two workshops were held in Cleveland, OH and Sacramento, CA in September and the final 2012 workshop was held October 5-7 in Corpus Christi, TX.

“The workshops were a tremendous success,” according to Pistor.  “The response from our franchisees to our new products and techniques was outstanding and our customers will be able to take advantage of new refinishing options.”  When refinishing is completed by a trained Miracle Method technician, customers can rest assured that they have invested in a quality service.

Miracle Method Opens its First Canadian Franchise

By

We are excited to announce the opening of Miracle Method’s first Canadian franchise in London, Ontario. For sometime now, Miracle Method has been the largest surface refinishing franchise in the United States, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand into new territory.

Chuck Pistor, Miracle Method President, has awarded our first Canadian franchise to Rick Frank, a native of London, Ontario and a former Vice President of Operations with G.N. Johnston Equipment. While Miracle Method has been approached previously about opening a Canadian franchise, the prospects lacked the funding, experience, and management background needed to run a successful franchise. Pistor noted that “Rick has a wealth of management experience, the proper resources and an operations background that makes him the ideal owner to introduce Miracle Method’s proprietary surface refinishing process to Canada.”

There are plenty of other factors working in Frank’s favor for establishing and maintaining a very successful franchise. These include Miracle Method’s growth during the recent economic downturn – over 80% of our offices experienced increases in 2011 over 2010, with record sales in 2011. The London, Ontario market has traditionally been a test market for U.S. franchises in Canada, and with a great mix of residential and commercial properties, Frank has the opportunity to build his business at an above-average pace.

Miracle Method’s first Canadian franchise opened Canada Day weekend (July 1), with a shop and showroom at 90 Charterhouse Crescent, Unit 5, London, Ontario Canada N5W 5V5 (phone number: 226-270-1021). The franchise’s technicians have already been very busy refinishing bathtubs, tile and countertops for residents of London and the surrounding area, as well as refinishing 71 vanities and 41 bathtubs, applying Slip Resistant Surfaces to the tubs, for Extended Stay Hotel in nearby Vaughn, Ontario. Additionally, the franchise offers free in-home estimates and owner Rick Franks has been co-hosting The Home Show with Mike Stubbs of CJBK Radio 1290, taking listeners’ questions about surface refinishing.

As you can see, Miracle Method is not only expanding here in the U.S., but abroad as well!
