Episode 84 - Who’d Sign One of Those?
“After 25 years of working for some pretty big global corporations, you’re working for a business, but they're more like institutions than they are businesses. It sometimes feels like you're dealing with a lot of conceptual aspects of how this giant machine operates, and you're pretty far away from seeing the value it creates for individual consumers.
In the case of a small business like this, it's all about the business and the value it creates for its customers. An example is when we recently installed a ramp for an elderly couple. The husband was blind and he couldn't get out on his front stoop. We installed a small platform and a ramp with rails on it. Now he can carefully go out and know that he always has something to hold onto. He feels safe getting out of his house.
We frequently have people tell us that once we install a ramp, they can now do essential things like seeing their doctor - important tasks they've had to limit in their lives. We’ve now made those opportunities accessible to them again.”
Many of our clients aspire to make an impact through their new business - serving their community and creating positive change. The way each person defines "impact" is unique, reflecting their personal values and goals. Our role is to understand what you're looking to achieve and to present you with options that align with your vision.
This isn’t about scrolling through businesses that seem interesting or match your experience; it’s about finding the perfect fit. For example, Dave’s journey to small business ownership was a complete transformation from his corporate career. Finding the right opportunity often involves exploring, comparing, and refining your choices.
When you work with us, you’ll gain insights about yourself, and we’ll use those insights to guide the process. Together, we’ll discover the right path forward.
We cover many current and relevant topics. A few include:
◈ Understanding your franchise agreement
◈ Making an impact through your business
◈ How to scale your business

Sales are very uncomfortable for so many people. If you look at sales as an art and learn to do it well, it can be a tremendous benefit to your business and your personal life. Good, honest, ethical sales is all about asking good questions and listening well. It’s really all about diagnosing a situation and determining whether or not you can offer or suggest a solution. If you can offer a solut...

Many of our clients tell us, “I’ve spent years making money for others - now it’s time to do that for my family.” When we ask what they’re looking for in a business, the answer often comes down to control - control over their time and their financial future. They share frustrations about feeling undervalued and recognize that true growth and independence come from taking charge of their own pat...

Переглядів 7Місяць тому
If you’re considering a franchise but thinking of deviating from its established model, proceed with caution. Franchisors may adjust the model over time, such as reducing square footage to lower overhead for new franchisees. These changes are intentional, so avoid straying too far from the recommended setup. For example, if the model works best in a strip center, but you’re being encouraged to ...

    I appreciate the detail on how she iterates to develop the business operating model and making it a financial success. It illustrates the value to a franchisee that uses all that information.

    • @yourlocalfranchiseexperts

      She did all of the trial and error so that the franchisees can get a much quicker jump start to their business.

    I love these examples of veterans using the franchise approach to transitioning into the private sector and becoming very successful in the process.

      Veterans often make fantastic franchisees! They definitely have leadership skills and know how to follow systems.

    The franchise model creates some divergent incentives for the franchisee be the franchiser. BUT competition can align the franchise partnership like nothing else.

  • @ricefamily2195
    @ricefamily2195 Рік тому

    The discussion around source of differentiation is really useful. The value of entering a competitive market is that it’s been developed and you grow by share gains.

  • @ricefamily2195

    Very interesting to hear the latest trends from the franchising conference. The PE portfolio model is interesting due to the synergies it creates and the capabilities they can create for franchisees to access.

    • @yourlocalfranchiseexperts
      @yourlocalfranchiseexperts Рік тому

      The private equity acquisition trend can definitely create more potential opportunities for franchisees.

  • @ricefamily2195
    @ricefamily2195 Рік тому

    It is interesting how many franchise portfolio companies exist. I wonder how this benefits the franchisee? Do franchisees expand from one concept to others as part of building a business?

    • @yourlocalfranchiseexperts
      @yourlocalfranchiseexperts Рік тому

      That's a great question. Yes, some franchisees purchase more than one brand under the same portfolio of companies. They "stack" their businesses and can offer more products or services to the same clientele.
