K. Kiosk. A Kiosk! What is a Kiosk? One of the most important sales and operational tools you'll need.

L. Logo. Our trademarked logo gives you instant credibility and recognition. We'll also show you the magic of lighting and provide samples of letters, i.e., comment cards and "Thank You" notes.

N. Newsletter. It's a powerful sales tool, but one of that can be welcomed or tossed in a trash can. We'll teach you what we know and we'll also tell you about Newspaper advertising and public relations techniques.

O. Operating Manual. This little baby - actually, it's rather big! - will become your constant companion. It's your "meat and potatoes" guide for just about everything you'll be doing. It's your "bible."

U. Urgency. The future is NOW for rugs. Luckily for you, THE RUG PLACE started yesterday!

V. Voice Mail. It's the 21st Century Mr. and Mrs. Business person and voice mail can hurt or help. We'll show you the difference.

W. Website. It's your personal "silent salesperson." It sells while you sleep.

Y. You. The most important person we know.

Z. Zebra. Naaaah! there's no zebra, we just needed something that begins with "Z" to wrap up this A to Z sampling. Hey, wait a minute ... we do have a zebra - a zebra pattern in one of our rugs! Perfect!


Now, let's run a quick test. Just one question: Did you know about all those needs when you began to think about building your own business? if your answer is "No, not really," then you can see we don't take your quest lightly. To the contrary. We take it very seriously. And remember, this A-Z primer is only a SAMPLING of the experience and expertise we offer our franchisees. Our commitment is to help make your franchise work toward your goals.
