Training & Support
CoolVu offers a comprehensive training program to help franchisees successfully launch their business. Before opening, CoolVu will designate your territory, provide a list of required equipment, fixtures, and inventory, and offer an initial training program for up to two of your principal owners or one owner and a technician. Travel and living expenses are your responsibility. Additionally, CoolVu will provide on-site opening assistance within the first few months, as well as a loaned copy of the Manual, which must be followed for operations.
CoolVu estimates the process to take about 90 days from signing the Franchise Agreement to opening. Delays may occur only due to uncontrollable events. Operating from a home office is recommended, but if you choose otherwise, CoolVu must pre-approve your site. CoolVu maintains an advisory relationship with franchisees throughout their operation, offering ongoing support via phone and in-person assistance as needed. If additional training is required, CoolVu may provide it, though fees may apply. Franchisees also have access to CoolVu’s Approved Suppliers and a referral program offering up to $10,000 for successful franchisee referrals.

Ideal Candidate
A CoolVu franchise owner can come from various backgrounds, but successful candidates share a strong drive for success, a commitment to customer satisfaction, and the ability to build lasting relationships. Whether you’re an entrepreneur aiming to dominate the market or a hands-on business owner focused on providing for your family, CoolVu offers a scalable and rewarding opportunity.
Ideal candidates fall into two key value categories. Achievers are goal-oriented individuals relentless in their pursuit of success, preferring scalable, solution-oriented business models with strong B2B potential. They are motivated by results, respect, and control. Belongers prioritize long-term relationships, customer satisfaction, and building a business rooted in trust and service. They seek proven, practical business models that offer security and stability for themselves and their loved ones.
Strong candidates excel in sales and channel planning, demonstrating confidence and problem-solving abilities, and an aptitude for helping others make informed decisions. They also have executive and management skills, balancing growth-focused strategies with organization and time management to ensure long-term success.
When it comes to work style, CoolVu franchisees often embody either the Director or Promoter personality. Directors are natural leaders who take charge, accept challenges head-on, and work at a fast pace to drive business growth. Promoters excel at building relationships, influencing others, and generating excitement around their vision, naturally attracting customers and creating opportunities.
