With 15 active coaches and a goal of reaching 80 by the end of 2023, ILEC is poised for rapid growth to meet the growing leadership-coaching demand in a post-pandemic world.“I’m excited about our franchisees,” said Mattone. “These are talented people that come out of the executive world, so they have the pedigree. They have authenticity and credibility. So when we teach them how to become executive coaches and get them certified, they can change the world. I think we've assembled a great 15 people so far, and the sky’s the limit.”Whether it’s because they’ve been forced out of their executive roles due to the pandemic or they’re a part of the Great Resignation, experienced former executives are turning to ILEC to begin a new chapter in their lives and careers by starting their own executive leadership coaching businesses. Here are a few reasons why.<h4>Proven and Proprietary Tools and Assessments</h4>Mattone first developed his proprietary Intelligent Leadership® philosophy more than a decade ago with the goal of helping executive coaches make a real difference in solving the global leadership problem. In 2019, he partnered with the visionary founder of The Entrepreneur’s Source®,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrypowellcfe/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-reasons-to-buy-an-ilec-franchise-in-2022-2718422" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Terry Powell</a>, to bring his philosophy to the masses by creating ILEC.ILEC is grounded in Mattone’s proven method, which includes the key differentiator of being able to measure return on investment for its clients.Many organizations have difficulty measuring leadership development because it’s largely subjective. Results are generally intangible.&nbsp;“People don't really invest in coaching,” says Mattone. “They invest in results.”&nbsp;Mattone developed a proprietary tool called the Leader Watch Report, which actually measures results and shows the ROI in coaching by way of leadership improvements, operating success and other metrics. Providing data-driven results through its proprietary assessments, ILEC provides tremendous value not only to its clients but to its coaches as well.“We take all the pressure off of the coach to try and force that subjective ROI,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-maloney-b16158103/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-reasons-to-buy-an-ilec-franchise-in-2022-2718422" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Trevor Maloney</a>, Growth Strategist at ILEC. “We actually turn it into something tangible. So the entire process is set up to where we guarantee our clients are going to see a result. That's the biggest thing holding many coaches back, and we solve that.”This allows ILEC to guarantee that their coaches will get results 100% of the time.<h4>A Virtual Business Model That Maximizes Global Impact</h4>ILEC coaches can coach from anywhere in the world. There are no territories. It’s designed this way because being former executives themselves, many ILEC coaches have large circles of influence that span the globe. Not being confined to a brick-and-mortar office, or even a geographic territory, allows them to work within that network and expand it, maximizing both their profitability and the impact they can make on leaders globally.“We're able to make a huge global impact,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheriwinesett/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-reasons-to-buy-an-ilec-franchise-in-2022-2718422" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sheri Winesett</a>, Strategic Brand Champion and Integrator at ILEC. “It's like, John [Mattone] always says, ‘Our vision is to help as many leaders as we can become the leaders that they must.’ He's so adamant about that, and this structure gives our coaches the freedom to be able to change the world.”<h4>A High-Net-Profit (and Fulfilling Lifestyle) Business</h4>Because of the virtual model and low operating expenses, being an ILEC coach is a high-net-profit business. But it’s also a unique lifestyle opportunity. ILEC coaches are tasked with helping solve the issues that face organizations and individual leaders every day, and they do it without having to be in a corporate environment themselves — which, for many executives who have just left a corporate environment, is a welcome lifestyle upgrade.Then there’s the&nbsp;impact of being an ILEC coach — doing fulfilling work that serves a greater purpose and allows one to contribute to the world in a meaningful and positive way.“When I work with a client, there's nothing better than seeing that breakthrough,” said Maloney. “There's nothing better than seeing that your insights, solutions and coaching process that you're deploying are actually helping them become more confident, capable and committed to the work that they do every single day. And when you see those results, it’s really awesome.”For ILEC coaches, the ability to run their own businesses, share their knowledge and experiences, earn a great living and inspire people in the process is an opportunity that checks all the necessary boxes.<h4>The Need for Executive Leadership Coaching Is Higher Than Ever</h4>In a post-pandemic world and amid the Great Resignation, more and more organizations are seeing huge gaps in their leadership succession plans. And with many experienced executives either having been let go in favor of younger, cheaper talent or having gone into early retirement due to an uncertain economic climate, more millennials are being thrust into leadership positions before they’re ready.&nbsp;The result is a wave of underprepared and overwhelmed young leaders, many of whom are left to wonder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/22/burned-out-millennials-are-rethinking-if-they-want-to-be-the-boss.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-reasons-to-buy-an-ilec-franchise-in-2022-2718422" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">if they want to be in leadership roles at all</a>.Meanwhile, the experienced leaders who are sticking around are struggling to adjust to the virtual structures of remote work and hybrid workplaces. Leading from afar requires a different set of skills — ones these older leaders never had the need to develop.“In today's world, organizations and individual leaders are in dire need of a support system,” said Maloney. “So the market is continuing to show that executive coaching and leadership development programs are going to continue to trend upward.”In this post-pandemic world, leader retention is more important than it’s ever been. Companies are feeling the pressure to reduce turnover, and they’re turning to executive leadership coaching to educate and build up their young leaders.<h4>A Turnkey Business with Generous Franchisee Support</h4>ILEC is a great business for a first-time business owner — which the bulk of ILEC’s coaches are — due to its simplicity and robust franchisee support system. ILEC franchisees don’t have to start a business from scratch. The brand provides all marketing collateral, marketing strategy, branding and national public-relations opportunities, on top of thorough training and education in the proven and proprietary Intelligent Leadership® philosophy.&nbsp;The brand also provides an onboarding process in which they help franchisees create a business development plan and assist with initial outreach to build a network of prospects. There’s a five-day certification training before the franchisee enters the first 90 days of launching their business, during which they work weekly with a franchise business coach to keep them on track. After the first 90 days, the brand will do a full audit of the franchisee’s business to find out where they need help and course-correct, if necessary.ILEC even does the client invoicing for its coaches because it doesn't want them to get caught up in all the administrative minutiae. Contracts, invoicing — it’s all automated through the brand’s CRM because ILEC wants its coaches to focus on the fun part of running their business: coaching.“The franchise system gives you the systems and the support to build the business,” said Winesett. “I’m really invested in the franchisees. I just really want them to be successful. I mean, this is their dream. I want ILEC to be a vehicle for them to achieve that, because if they're doing what they love, then the global impact we know we can have will naturally follow.”Franchise opportunities range from $113,340 to $124,090 to become an Intelligent Leadership Executive Coaching coach.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential.

Family has always been at the heart of everything for sisters&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold-franchise-oklahoma-city-north-manar-landis-maha-zirn-kashoor-2730454">Manar Landis and Maha Zirn-Kashoor,</a> so when they began looking for a new business venture, it only made sense that they’d do it together. Today, the pair are proud&nbsp;<a href="https://griswoldhomecarefranchise.com/">Griswold</a> franchisees, combining their complementary skills and shared compassion to make a difference in the lives of seniors and&nbsp; families in their community. For Zirn-Kashoor and Landis, the decision to go into business together was as natural as their lifelong connection.“The short answer,” Zirn-Kashoor said, “is that it’s always the right time as a family to be together. We were both in the right place to start that one.”Though life had taken them in different directions — with families, careers and homes of their own — the sisters never lost touch. “We were always in contact,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “Almost every year we saw each other. So when the idea of the business came, it was only natural that we were both ready for it and said, ‘Let’s go for it.’”That shared readiness made the decision simple: it was time to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/how-griswold-home-care-provided-a-more-meaningful-career-for-these-franchisees-amid-the-pandemic-2715838">build something meaningful together</a>.<h2>From Sisters to Business Partners</h2>Transitioning from family members to business partners came smoothly for the pair. “Because we know each other quite well, it came very naturally,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “We recognized my strength, her strength, where we can complement each other — and it’s working so far.”The two sisters developed a natural division of responsibilities, allowing each to focus on what she does best. That balance has only strengthened their bond. “It brought us even closer to each other,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “Usually, when you have family, each one goes to their business or work and then maybe you meet at dinner or on weekends. Now we are combining all this — we see each other even more now. It added positively to the dynamic.”<h2>Why Griswold?</h2>When it came time to choose a brand, Landis led the research — and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/griswold/info">Griswold</a> quickly stood out. “She asked around, looked into different franchises, and it was the reputation of Griswold,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “From the first moment we spoke with them, it felt like we were joining a family.”That sense of belonging only deepened as they met other franchisees. “They are very professional, but there is also a warm environment,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “When we met other franchisees at a couple of events, it felt like family. It just enhanced our feeling that this is the right company we want to join.”<h2>A Family-Owned Business With a Human Mission</h2>As sisters and co-owners, Zirn-Kashoor and Landis believe their family connection adds real value to how they lead their business and care for their clients. “It’s an added value to be family working together,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “We know how to divide the work, who’s responsible for what, and sometimes we combine our efforts on certain areas where we can bring an even better outcome.”That collaboration is rooted in shared purpose. For the sisters, Griswold’s mission resonated deeply. “The story of Jean Griswold is very touching and impressive,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “It’s not money-oriented — it’s very human and people-oriented. That’s what really drove us. Otherwise, any business you can start somewhere and think about profit. This is not the easiest one, but we chose it on purpose because we can relate to it … When you think about it, we are helping vulnerable people — people in need — and that’s something we are already proud of.”<h2>Building a Legacy of Care and Connection</h2>More than just a business, Zirn-Kashoor and Landis see their Griswold franchise as a legacy — one rooted in compassion and community. “We are certain that our hard work will bring very fruitful income,” Zirn-Kashoor said, “and we hope that this is the legacy we can keep as a name for us, for our children and for our family later on. There cannot be a better legacy than helping people in need and caring for the community.”Even amid the challenges of launching a business, the sisters have found unexpected joy in the journey. “The most surprising part is how much fun we are having,” Zirn-Kashoor said. “We knew we would enjoy it, but we didn’t know it would start from day one. We keep reminding each other not to forget to have fun and enjoy the journey.”

With complementary strengths and a shared commitment to compassion, Manar Landis and Maha Zirn-Kashoor turned the right moment — and the right mission — into a meaningful family enterprise.
