How Steve and Lisa found a hidden gem

How can a franchise consultant help you explore business ownership? There’s a common roadblock that keeps many people from acting: uncertainty about where to start. That’s where I step in. I’ve already done a large part of the research and know exactly which questions to ask. I have many opportunities to show you that you never even knew existed.

Meet Steve and Lisa

Steve and Lisa, a married couple, are candidates I helped find their perfect fit in franchising. With 25 years of experience in sales and marketing, Steve had been working hard for others for a long time. He’d reached the point where he’d simply had enough of the corporate grind and being asked to do more for smaller commissions. He sought to take control of his career path and income stream. Steve and Lisa were interested in entrepreneurship but didn’t know which direction to take. After our introductory call, they decided to explore franchise ownership.

Steve and Lisa immediately recognized a huge benefit of working with a franchise consultant: getting access to numerous opportunities that they wouldn’t necessarily find through their own research. While most people can brainstorm a list of 50+ fast-food restaurant and retail chains through an Internet search or a walk around the block, it takes an expert to find the hidden gems. These not-so-obvious opportunities include thriving businesses that you may never have heard of, but that may fit your criteria for the kind of income you’re seeking and lifestyle you’d like to lead.

Steve and Lisa discovered that one of these hidden gems was their perfect fit. They are now owners of a multiple-territory home service franchise. They are thrilled with the low overhead and fast break-even point. Lisa, a school administrator, plans to keep her job for another 2-3 years while helping Steve with the business as best she can. When the franchise matures and is producing enough revenue to replace both of their incomes, Lisa will happily leave her job.

The perks of joining a high-quality franchise (the only type I ever recommend)

The franchisor’s systems and processes enable Steve and Lisa to use the skills they developed during their professional careers while having the benefit of a tested and proven business model. The franchisor’s robust marketing, advertising, technology, and systems differentiate the business from its competition, so they’re grabbing market share very quickly. Steve and Lisa are looking forward to scaling the business beyond what they would have been able to do as independent operators.
