Here’s what he had to say.1851 Franchise:&nbsp;Frame your personal story for us. What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Daniel Venditti: My background is in engineering and project management. I was a project manager for an industrial engineering firm that worked in the oil and gas, specialty chemical, and pulp and paper industries. That’s my background. My wife is also a co-owner of the company, and she’s a lawyer who focuses on personal injury. When we decided to start looking into franchises, her parents — who were former franchise brokers — let us know about all the benefits of buying into a franchise system. We were familiar with the concept and had always been interested in franchising because of them.We initially started looking into franchises because we were ready for a personal development opportunities. As we explored options, we realized that my skills in project management and engineering would fit well into a franchise, especially one like this, which is based on engineering principles and project management. So, we shifted gears.&nbsp;1851:&nbsp;What made you choose this brand? What excites you most about this company?Venditti: The reason we chose&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unitedwaterrestoration/info">UWRG</a> is that we felt really good about the corporate franchise team. We had a lot of confidence in them based on their sales pitch. I’m really excited about their high standards and how they push everyone in the network to meet those standards. I think that will help build a strong national brand over time.1851:&nbsp;What’s your number one goal for your first year?Venditti: My main goal is to stay busy — whether that’s through completing jobs or focusing hard on field marketing to get our name out there.1851:&nbsp;What’s the No. 1 thing about your story you want us to know?Venditti: My wife and I work really well together, and I’m excited to step out of my comfort zone, learn and grow. I want to push myself and go for it.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for aspiring franchisees?Venditti: Do a lot of due diligence and get as much experience in the field as you can before signing or deciding to enter a franchise agreement.
