You do not need to have prior experience in the mobility equipment industry or have a highly technical background or installation skills; however, proven field sales experience is key.

To become a franchise owner with 101 Mobility, we expect you will be fully dedicated to running the business. We also look for solid customer service, relationship-building, organizational, and business management skills.

Most 101 Mobility franchise businesses are categorized as very small businesses. To open your business, you will generally need just three employees:

- Mobility Consultant (sales)
- Mobility Specialist (product installations/service)
- Customer Care Manager (office manager)

As the business grows, you may add additional employees, but even the largest 101 Mobility franchises typically have fewer than 10 employees.

The 101 Mobility franchise opportunity is about scaling a business and being a leader. The skills we seek are tenacity, leadership, organization, and precision, among others. While a technical background can be helpful, all equipment installation and service work should be completed by a trained "Mobility Specialist" that you will hire.

When you join the 101 Mobility franchise family, you get access to our best-in-class process and support.

Each new franchisee has access to the 101 Mobility trademarks, our proprietary system, Mobilink, access to our national VA contract, and access to our vendor contracts.

Additionally, you will receive onboarding support, two weeks of training at our Wilmington, NC office, virtual and in-person support from a dedicated and knowledgeable Franchise Business Development Manager, access to our online eLearning system, and other remote and in-person knowledge transfer systems.

After our initial training program, you will also receive ongoing in-the-field training from your Franchise Business Development Manager, as well as regularly scheduled phone support meetings.
