Will you accept the challenges?
So you want to be a franchisee?
Do you think you have what it takes?
You better be on your game, because there’s a lot more to operating a franchise than hanging out a shingle and watching customers pour in like liquid gold. If only it were that easy.
But a successful franchise can indeed be built to great heights– if you have the will and work ethic. The most successful Tint World® franchisees already know a few of these facts, but here are five challenges unique to franchising. Master these and you’ll indeed be at the top of your game.
- Sustaining commitment. Franchising works because the best franchises come with a tried-and-trusted model. It is important you remain committed to the franchise model. There is little room for independence in most franchise agreements, and there’s a reason for that.
- Managing personnel. As a franchise owner, the buck stops with you. That means you have to manage from top to bottom. You are responsible for ultimately overseeing all members of your team, from laborer to manager. If you aren’t a people person or natural leader, a franchisee future may not work for you.
- Brand focus. You must be committed to building your brand, selling your brand, and being your brand. Keeping a tight geographic and demographic focus will make promotion and marketing easier.
- Building relationships. As noted above, there is not a lot of wiggle room for free spirits in the franchise world. You need to maintain and cultivate positive relationships with both your franchisor and your customers. Your franchisor wants you to succeed.
- Leadership skills are important, but first you must have a staff to lead. Unemployment across the U.S. is approaching historical lows, and that puts a crunch on employers, especially those in the service industry. One solution: Never stop recruiting. Make your expectations clear, but promote a culture and reputation that will make your franchise attractive to potential employees.
