Who's Ideal for Jo Jingles?
Profile of an Ideal Jo Jingles Franchisee:
Typically, our franchisees are mothers who have experience of very young children and may have dealt with the pressures of “juggling” a career and home. Applicants do not need to have had any musical training, but ideally should have a good singing voice, a musical background, and a genuine interest in music.
They should be bright, energetic, have endless patience, be well organised and have good presentation skills. Above all they need to relate to small children and take pride in being involved in the entertainment and education of pre-school children. A business/sales and marketing background is useful.
Our current franchisees include an ex-paediatric nurse, a former nursery supervisor, a former OFSTED Inspector for nurseries and playgroups, two semi-professional singers, two dance teachers (already running their own dance schools), a former City solicitor, an MBA qualified ex-IT Consultant, ex-college lecturer, a music agent and a number of ex-school teachers. Jo Jingles appeals to a wide variety of people!
