What Makes a Franchise a Success? | Franchise Strategy Partners, Larry Reed

“Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.”—Bobby Unser

One of the many reasons why people choose franchising when it comes to starting a business is that the business model has already been proven to work. But that doesn’t mean you can open up a franchise and find success immediately.

You still have to put in the work. Fortunately, you don’t have to go it alone. Let me help you get started on the path to success!

The Road to Franchising Success

Now that you have figured out what franchise best suits your passion and have invested in the business, it is time to get to work! Here are a few steps to take on the road to making your franchise a success:

Trust the Process

One of the reasons why I work hard to match you with your ideal franchise is because you need to be able to trust the process.

Rather than wanting to go in and change things, you need to believe that the franchise business model is solid, as you are going to need to preserve the brand as a franchisee.

Lean in to the resources and support provided by your franchisor. Seek assistance and advice from other franchisees and those in positions of leadership.

Recruit the Best Team Possible

Remember, your team is only a strong as your weakest link. You want to make sure you are investing in employees who are as passionate as you are about hard work and customer service.

But your investment in employees shouldn’t end there. While you can hire the best, it doesn’t mean they will be the best for your business if you don’t train them effectively.

Effective onboarding and routine training play an important role in ensuring your business is successful. Make training a regular task, because there is always something new to learn as customer needs and technologies evolve.

Be a Part of Your Community

Business owners sometimes don’t realize how much community involvement can truly play a role in success. In order for your franchise to succeed, you need those within your community to trust your business and turn to you as the experts in your industry.

To build that trust, engage with those within your community. Become involved in activities and fundraisers. Attend events and meetings with the local chamber of commerce and city/county government. The more you invest in your community, the more they’ll invest in you.
