ADIs Wanted!

Joel’s Driving School is looking for ADIs to help cope with the pupil demand I’ve established. I would like to speak to any ADI who is interested, and who fits in with my accessible and friendly company ethos; but I am mostly looking for ADIs who are currently running an expensive franchise with a national school, because that’s where I came from and I know that you can easily increase your earning potential.

20150324_101947I had an AA Driving School franchise for 4 years, and whilst it was a great introduction to the industry, I only stayed as long as I did because it was the easy option. It certainly wasn’t for the money I earned. I barely made ends meet, despite loving my job and working long hours, 6 days a week. This was because, on average, I was giving The AA £1,000 of my profit every month.

It took me a while to make the change, because the prospect of setting up a new business on my own, especially in such a tough economic climate, was a daunting prospect; but eventually enough was enough, so I set up on my own in 2012. It was hard to begin with, and I made some rookie mistakes, but in the end my love for my job, and my excellent pass rates, allowed me to build up a highly profitable business. My profits increased by £9,000 by year 2, with minimal advertising, and Joel’s Driving School’s reputation is now cemented in Bristol.

20150324_103043So why join Joel’s Driving School? I’ve been an ADI since 2008, and I have built up a considerable amount of experience, so I can help you avoid the pitfalls on your journey to becoming more independent. Using my expertise, you can immediately earn more money, without going bankrupt along the way.

Let’s keep it as simple as possible, and I’ll bullet point what I can offer you.

Joel’s Driving School Instructor Package

£60 per week (4 weeks off per year)

• A supply of pupils

Bottom line, if you’re not teaching, you’re not earning. Joel’s Driving School has a widespread reputation in Bristol, and I have no shortage of pupil enquiries.

• No risk, no contract

You won’t be signing your life away with contracts. If at any point you decide to leave for any reason, you can. I just ask for a minimum of 3 months to begin with, then the decision is yours from then on.

• Help with the transition from a national driving school franchise, to running your own business your own way

I know how daunting it was to leave the security of the big national driving school package, but working for yourself is the only way to make a decent living wage in this industry. They don’t deserve £1,000+ of your profit.

• Record keeping and Self-Assessment Tax

The Inland Revenue (HMRC) did a random inspection of Joel’s Driving School in 2013, and I was informed I had the best records of any driving instructor the inspector had ever seen. You have to get your records on point, and your self-assessment completed correctly, otherwise you risk huge penalties. Just because we’re not earning 6 figures, doesn’t mean driving instructors don’t get investigated! It’s not easy, so my experience is invaluable. I will also supply my own custom software for recording your finances, which have been approved by the HMRC for clarity and ease of use.

• Use of my App to record your pupils progress and book their lessons

You will have full use of my very comprehensive and easy to use app to manage your lessons, pupils, income, tax and daily admin. Your pupils also have access.

• Preferable rates for getting a car from Citroen or Renault

Whether you want to buy, or do a contract hire (the latter would be my recommendation), my contacts at City Motors will give Joel’s Driving School instructors great rates. I would request you have either a red or white car to match the company branding.

• A roof box with the logo and ‘L’ plate

• Good rates at my sign writers for the logo to be applied to your car

My logo is big and bold, which generates a considerable amount of business. Magnetic logos are an option if you’d prefer not to have the vinyls.

• Help with planning routes across the entire city

I know the best places to go for all levels of lessons throughout the city. I know it can be awkward if you’re not sure of the best place to go for a pupil’s first lesson, or for parking etc, so I can share my knowledge with you.

• Personal assistance with ongoing teaching methods

I’m here for help or advice you might need on day-to-day driving instruction issues.

• Driving instructor insurance advice

Getting the best price can be awkward… I can help!
