Similar to what athletes find in sports, the franchise model provides an atmosphere that screams family. Franchising allows you to really build a community that rallies around you and cheers you on, similar to a family. You can find the same in franchising from the franchisor, your suppliers, your team, and your customers. If you deliver a superior product and customer service experience, the groundswell of support will leave customers shouting from the rooftops about how much they love you. There's so many stakeholders in the ecosystem of franchising that it really feels like a community in your family. If you or someone you know have been thinking about franchising and aren't sure, let's chat. There is much promise in the franchise model. #AthletesInFranchising #WinningInBusiness #FranchiseFamily #FromSportsToSuccess

Thank you for the support of my LinkedIn network and my new community Schooley Mitchell! As I wrap up the first week of this new venture I want to share why helping organizations optimize their operating expenses is so important. The bottom line is that lowering operating costs means more good can be done. It allows the organization to reallocate those funds to their mission and people which is critical to balancing sustainability and growth. The Nonprofit Hub suggests that one way nonprofits can cut costs is to pay less for processing credit card donations. I can help you do this. And you can focus on the good work. #dogood #nonprofit #costreduction #operatingexpenses #costsavings

What Is A Franchise Discovery Day? Are You Ready to Dive Deep into the World of Franchising? Franchise Discovery Day is not just an event; it's a pivotal moment for potential franchisees and franchisors alike. It's where expectations meet reality, and serious decisions are made. But what exactly happens during this crucial day? The Purpose Behind the Day Franchise Discovery Day serves a dual purpose. For franchisors, it's an opportunity to showcase the strength of their brand, the efficiency of their operations, and the support they provide. They get to meet potential franchisees face-to-face, gauge their commitment, and assess if they are the right fit for the franchise network. For potential franchisees, it's about peeling back the layers of glossy brochures and polished websites to see the real workings of the franchise. It's a day to ask hard-hitting questions, interact with key personnel, and get a genuine feel of the franchise's operational and cultural environment. What to Expect? When you walk into the headquarters, it's not just about the aesthetics; it's about sensing the pulse of the place. Are the staff engaged and knowledgeable? Does the technology stack up to modern standards? How transparent are the discussions about profitability and ongoing support? Why It's More Than Just a Visit Attending a Franchise Discovery Day means you're seriously considering investing. It's not a casual visit; it's a deep dive into understanding if this is the right business opportunity for you. This is why it's crucial to come prepared—armed with insights and questions from current franchisees to ensure every moment counts. Before You Go Remember, a Franchise Discovery Day is by invitation, reflecting a franchisor's belief in your potential as a franchisee. It's also a significant indicator of your readiness to take the next step in your entrepreneurial journey. Ready to Discover More?
