Our approach to this business is very simple and straight forward. Our consultants will conduct an initial interview to gain insight to your previous experiences, goals, strengths, weaknesses, investment range, target market and more. We will then work to select ideal franchises for you and assist you in researching the opportunity. When our clients are ready to take a serious look at a franchise we will facilitate the introduction then remain by your side throughout the remainder of the process.
Are there aggressive sales tactics used in this business?
NO! Franchising is not a sales business - it's a mutual discovery process. Good franchises are not sold - they are awarded. Only when both parties feel there is strong potential for success does anyone begin to consider investing in the franchise. "Selling" a franchise to a less than ideal candidate is generally a recipe for failure for both franchisee and franchisor. Aggressive sales techniques is not how winning franchisors are built.
