Strategic Franchising

Franchise ownership offers entrepreneurs the ability to build a business while leveraging a proven system. But what truly separates successful franchisees from those who struggle? According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/petereberly?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Peter Eberly</a>, vice president of brand development at&nbsp;<a href="https://strategicfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Strategic Franchising Systems</a>, it often comes down to mindset and a handful of key traits.“A franchisee is an entrepreneur, but what they value and when they are successful is when there is a structured, system-driven process model and playbook,” Eberly said. “They are great at implementing things that the franchisor gives them. They are willing to learn and be coachable. They see value in the fact that others have made mistakes and we’ve learned and ironed out the kinks.”In other words, the most successful franchise owners don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they recognize that the franchisor’s systems exist for a reason and focus on executing them with discipline.&nbsp;<h2>Passion for the Brand</h2>While discipline ensures you follow the playbook, passion is what fuels long-term motivation. Eberly points to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/petwants/info">Pet Wants</a> as an example: “Successful franchisees are passionate about pets. They aren’t just agnostic or ambivalent about the actual product or the mission. They are truly looking to make a difference in the lives of pets and pet families. The passion behind it is an important piece to drive success as well.”Strategic Franchising Systems takes the advantages of franchising to new heights with its diverse portfolio of five necessity-based brands:<ul><li><a href="https://growthcoachfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Growth Coach</a> offers business and sales coaching, executive coaching, business management and consulting services to business owners, managers and executives.</li><li><a href="https://freshcoatfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Fresh Coat Painters</a> specializes in residential and commercial painting services.</li><li><a href="https://www.trubluefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TruBlue Home Service Ally</a> provides senior home modifications to support aging in place, along with comprehensive residential maintenance and repair services.</li><li><a href="https://www.caringtransitionsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Caring Transitions</a> focuses on senior relocation, estate sales and downsizing services.</li><li><a href="https://petwantsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-top-traits-of-successful-franchisees-with-strategic-franchising-systems-2730533" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pet Wants</a> sells fresh, high-quality pet food and supplies through retail locations and home delivery.</li></ul><h2>Self-Awareness and Adaptability</h2>One common mistake is assuming you need to be an expert in every area of business. Eberly explains that the opposite is true. “The beauty of a franchise is that no matter the industry or the job function or the career path previously, you’ve got a road map to be successful,” he said. “One key point is that successful franchisees recognize their blind spots from a background perspective.”For example, a franchisee with a marketing background may need to lean on the franchisor’s tools and coaching to strengthen their financial management skills. Adaptability — the ability to identify weaknesses and use the support network effectively — helps franchisees grow beyond their comfort zones.<h2>Leadership and Drive</h2>Franchise ownership isn’t passive. “Another key part is that one of our franchisees isn’t that you just can work on autopilot,” Eberly said. “If you have that drive and are willing to take advantage of the resources, the marketing, the expertise and the tools and processes, you can be successful.”That drive translates into leadership — setting the tone for your team, motivating employees and keeping the business moving forward even when challenges arise. Prospective franchisees can develop leadership skills by practicing clear communication, setting measurable goals and modeling the work ethic they want to see in their staff.<h2>Putting It All Together</h2>“These brands are built for anybody that has the drive, the coachability and the willingness to work hard,” Eberly said. “They can take it and be successful.”For those considering franchise ownership, the takeaway is clear: you don’t need to be an industry expert to succeed. Instead, focus on cultivating discipline, passion, adaptability and leadership.
