The Value of Mentoring
Perhaps you are the owner of a successful business and are looking into the possibility of expanding your market and profits. You are proud of what you've done and others have taken notice of your success. Some have even asked if you sell franchises or how they can own a business like yours. You reached this point because you had the knowledge, personality and management skills to be successful. You have the natural talent to transform a concept into a thriving business.
This "entrepreneurial" gene, combined with hard work and a firm commitment, are the ingredients that produce successful new franchising enterprises. However, the strong qualities that got you to this point can easily be the "Achilles Heel" that could keep you from achieving your long-term goals. That same "can do" spirit and individual strength can become a weakness if it prematurely pushes you into a new challenge on your own.
There are some things you cannot do by yourself and building a franchise system is one of those challenges. Don't make this important decision alone, with hastily prepared documents, a great talent for sales, and a hope and a prayer that you will learn everything else. Be confident, but not foolish.
Everything might be franchisable.
But not everything should be franchised:
"Actually, my name is Bobby. 'Jimmy's' is an international franchise."
Franchising is an exceptional method for expanding your existing market and profits. But you need to seek guidance from an experienced and knowledgeable strategic partner : Someone who has "been there" and "done that." An experienced mentor can provide an open and honest analysis of your business, and help you determine if you are ready to franchise or find some other avenue of expansion. Your advisor must also be knowledgeable, so that you can trust the offered advice, and be willing to take the required steps to reach the final goal. The message we want you to hear is that Franchise Growth Partners is the strategic partner you need for the knowledge and experience you must have.
Our founder, Scott Simcik, has over 24 years of experience in starting and growing a franchising operation - from a single unit to a very profitable system that was sold to another entrepreneur. But Scott had no intention of retiring. His new dream is to take the lessons he has learned over these decades and impart that knowledge to others seeking to franchise their businesses.
Our most senior advisor, Bob Ball, has spent over 30 years in franchising, including executive service with Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. and Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., and as Vice President of Century 21 Real Estate Corporation when they were a private company with over 7,500 franchisees.
You have many important decisions ahead of you, including whether you should expand by opening more company-owned operations or by selling franchises. Should you take on financial partners? Sell stock? Borrow money? Let us help you make these decisions. Together with our legal advisors, and our sales, leasing and financing experts, our entire Consulting Staff is ready to transfer their skills to you, if you and your business are ready to take on the challenge.
