FRANCHISE ASIA JAN 2016

Interview
Why Eye Level Franchise?
When I was younger, I wanted to become my own boss or a business
owner. I wished to be involved in something that can bring goodwill
to our society. With that aim, I ventured into financial consulting for
the past 10 years to educate people about asset protection, family
protection and the importance of saving.
As I grew older, got married and have my own children, I became
interested on children related business. My cousins were with
Eye Level since 2006. Through them, I could see improvement in
their math skills. Not only that, they also possess a very positive
attitude in problem solving. When I was exploring children related
business, Eye Level was the first in my mind. I love children and I
believe every child deserves a bright future.
Education is the main key for children to achieve their goals and to
be able to contribute back to the world. With a proven education
system and market experience in Eye Level, I believe I could obtain
guidance to run my own business although I did not have any
experience in running a children enrichment center.
What I like most about being an Eye Level franchisee is the simple,
easy and effective business system. I have no doubt on the
effectiveness of Eye Level programs. After I attended the Eye Level
Business Orientation, I was amazed with the successful franchisees
in Malaysia. They have been the proven role models to me.
How Has Eye Level Supported In Your
Franchise Route?
In the first few months, I think the major challenges were how to
promote my center to my area and how to spread the word that a
good learning system is available in my area. I hung banners and
distributed flyers. As a result, I received positive response from the
parents of my area.
The possibility of having 100, 200 or even 300 students is possible.
Eye Level provides professional advice from setting up the center
to center marketing and operations. Trainings are ongoing and
they have been useful in equipping new franchisee as a successful
entrepreneur as well as a center instructor. All I need to do is just
attend the trainings and learn as much as I can to implement the
ideas and advice is given to run my center fruitfully.
I am touched with the support that the Eye Level HQ has shown
to me. They engage themselves in every center related issue. We
have our own assigned Area Manager, routine meetings and the
Eye Level family web portal to stay in touch with one another.
How You Became A Successful Eye Level
Franchisee?
I am the key to making my center successful and to ensure more
children are reaping the benefits of Eye Level programs. With the
company’s direction towards the Self-Directed Learning concept
and Blended Learning system, I strongly believe that my center will
be the first choice for parents in my area. What sets me apart from
other franchisees is that my center’s constant monitoring on our
students’ progress and ongoing consultation with parents.
An essential tip to be a successful Eye Level franchisee is one has
to be fully committed in monitoring the existing and new students.
Of course, quality instructors make a center flourish too. Lastly,
always be positive and remember that you are “The Key” to a
successful mindset.
How to Become An Eye Level Franchisee?
Anyone can be a franchise business owner. I always put myself in a
child’s shoes when I am in class with my students. Think like them,
feel like them. Be fun, friendly and energetic to the students. When
it comes to parents, I will be the key person to communicate with
them on their children’s behaviour in class and learning progress.
