When you walk the halls of the <a href="http://ifa.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=who-makes-a-great-franchisee-recruiter-5213" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IFA</a>, <a href="http://www.ifeinfo.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=who-makes-a-great-franchisee-recruiter-5213" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IFE</a> and other events that VPs of Franchise Sales and Chief Development Officers attend, you will hear a common complaint: &#8220;I am having a hard time finding good franchise salespeople.&#8221; There appears to be a shortage, perhaps at a crisis level, of strong franchise sales talent. Many talented franchise salespeople have become franchise brokers. Others have elevated into senior roles within the franchise organization and are having a hard time finding or retaining their replacements. So who is it we are actually looking for? Who has what it takes to win as a franchise salesperson? <div style="">Some surprising research suggests several specific traits to look for in your next important hire to elevate your franchisee recruitment game. The research was conducted by Rebecca Monet, President and Chief Scientist at Zoracle Profiles, and Steve Olson of Olson &amp; Associates in response to the dearth of recruiting talent in franchising today. Monet and Olson conducted an in-depth, 10-month study of 41 franchise sales professionals at the top of their game. The participants represented 100 franchise brands including Carvel, Cinnabon, Dunkin&#8217; Donuts, The Dwyer Group, El Pollo Loco, Fantastic Sams, <a href="http://greatclips.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=who-makes-a-great-franchisee-recruiter-5213" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Great Clips</a>, Jack in the Box, Jiffy Lube, Seattle&#8217;s Best Coffee, RE/MAX, and included <a href="http://www.franchiseperformancegroup.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=who-makes-a-great-franchisee-recruiter-5213" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Franchise Performance Group CEO Joe Mathews.</a> Here are eight traits you should look for in your next franchise recruitment pro, along with the FPG spin on each characteristic.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Experience matters. The survey participants averaged over 20 years of experience. However, we are in an industry where experience and competency are often confused. These established sales professionals are not the kind of recruiters who send out resumes every 2 years; these aren&#8217;t the recruiters who replay their first year in sales again and again. These are professionals who declared early in their careers that professional franchise recruitment was their chosen field, and they sought to learn and master franchise sales as a discipline. These are professionals who understand buyer behavior, who know how to emotionally pace out a deal, who intuit how to move people from irrational fear to rational problem-solving. They recognize franchise sales as a highly nuanced skill where subtleties seem to make all the difference in the world. It takes several years of experience to identify those nuances and understand how to implement these insights flawlessly in any given recruiting situation.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>They recruit. Experienced recruiters don&#8217;t sell; they solicit and acquire talented franchise candidates. They&#8217;re not necessarily great classical salespeople. Top-notch recruiters see themselves as successfully completing a recruitment process rather than &#8220;power-closing a deal.&#8221; Great recruiters aren&#8217;t tied to the final result or the commission attached to one singular deal. They&#8217;re worried about whether the candidate is a good fit and has what it takes to win. Years of experience have already told them they&#8217;re going to hit their numbers, whatever those numbers happen to be. This frees them up to let the candidate be a potential person rather than a potential close. If you were to interview a newly-recruited franchisee about their experience working with a top-notch recruiter, the candidate would describe the recruiter in terms of facilitator,&#8221;helper,&#8221; &#8220;educator&#8221; and &#8220;brand ambassador,&#8221; but they would never say &#8220;salesperson.&#8221; That doesn&#8217;t mean salesmanship wasn&#8217;t part of the process; it does mean the relationship was never defined in transactional terms. Top-notch recruiters help the franchise candidate discover the merits of the business on their own. They facilitate a process that connects the dots from where the candidate says they want to be in the future to where they are now, and they help the candidate discover how their skills and experience and resources translate into success as a franchisee of that system.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>They are achievers. Top-notch recruiters in this study were results-oriented, problem-solving and competitive, and in the face of not knowing what to do next, they can figure out solutions on the fly. They make all their mistakes on the side of taking action rather than sitting on the sidelines and letting things unfold. Good or bad, they&#8217;re impact players, and their presence will be felt. They are not afraid of conflict. If they see the franchise candidate make an irrational decision or move in a direction away from their stated goals, they&#8217;ll run interference and challenge the candidate to get back on track. They also know how to create options where no options appear through creative problem-solving. They also often go to bat for a candidate they feel is a good fit for business. They let the candidate know, &#8220;Hey, the life you want is available here, and this will happen on my watch.&#8221; They take on the candidate&#8217;s goals as their own personal goals. They are fully prepared to walk away from any deal that is not in the candidate&#8217;s and the franchisor&#8217;s combined best interests, even at the expense of a commission check.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>They shoot straight. Top-notch recruiters don&#8217;t try to sugar-coat what the business is or isn&#8217;t. The tell it like it is. They paint what they believe to be a fair and accurate representation of what it takes to win. They&#8217;re not afraid of the perceived negatives of the business, and they know there&#8217;s no such thing as a perfect business. They can make a case as to why, on balance, the business appears to fit the candidate&#8217;s objectives. They want franchisees to go into business with their eyes wide open, fully educated on what it takes to win. They discuss where the potential landmines are and show the candidate how, by using the system, those landmines can be avoided. They aren&#8217;t afraid to make mistakes, and they clean up any mistakes or misunderstandings quickly. These recruiters could be described as being articulate, but never slick. They influence buyers through transparency rather than flowery promises and half-truths.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>They pay attention. Top-notch recruiters pay as much or perhaps more attention to nonverbal communication as they do verbal. They have an uncanny ability to understand people on an emotional level. For instance, a franchise candidate might say, &#8220;I will send you my financial statement in a couple of days,&#8221; and the recruiter will know instinctively whether that candidate will do as he says. They have an internal radar that tips them off when words and future actions aren&#8217;t in sync. When a candidate&#8217;s words lack conviction, a great recruiter can pick up on that. Combining good instincts with a Type A personality, they call the candidate out and hold them accountable to honor their commitments.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>They are authentic. Great recruiters immediately bond with their franchise candidates. They don&#8217;t assign to them overused labels such as &#8220;tire kicker&#8221; or &#8220;window shopper.&#8221; Instead, they see candidates as real people with real goals who have real issues, people who need to be heard and whose problems need to be solved. In a word, they are safe. And because they are safe, franchise candidates tell them everything. They have to believe in the concept they&#8217;re marketing, the franchisor&#8217;s strategic plan and the culture of the leadership, because they appear incapable of faking it. Franchise recruiters are materially the same people on and off the court. They don&#8217;t wear one face at work and another face at home.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Extroverted introversion. When they&#8217;re with a candidate, they&#8217;re all in. They have conversations that matter. They possess all the interpersonal skills you would expect from an extrovert yet leaned slightly towards being introverted. However, when they&#8217;re done, they&#8217;re done. If they ever moonlighted and took down a second job, it would be a lighthouse keeper. They need defrag time. They need family time. They also need thinking, reading, YouTube, Netflix, and play time, and pity the fool who invades their space during their alone time.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>They lead. The best of the best act like CEOs of the franchise sales process. They are collaborative with the candidate and with the franchise sales leadership. They keep one eye on the goal and the other eye on where they are in the process. They don&#8217;t force a result, because they understand how to let the results occur naturally and they realize every deal has its own rhythm. They fully understand the impact of putting the wrong person in the wrong business, and they feel that their role can protect the brand and protect the resources of the franchise candidate at the same time.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>When hiring your next franchisee recruiter, keep these 8 traits in mind. If you want an impact player who can put your brand on their own shoulders and drive their own results rather than riding your brand&#8217;s coattails, this is who you&#8217;re really looking for.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>For more information about the Franchise Performance Group <a href="http://www.franchiseperformancegroup.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=who-makes-a-great-franchisee-recruiter-5213" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here</a>.</div><div>&nbsp;</div>

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.

How Much Can Franchisees Make? A Guide for Prospective Franchise Owners

Understanding&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-money-do-i-need-to-buy-a-franchise-a-guide-2730910">the total investment</a> required for a franchise is one of the first questions prospective franchise owners ask. While the answer can vary widely depending on brand, industry and market, knowing what goes into it can help entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities realistically (and avoid costly surprises).So, what&nbsp;is the total investment required for a franchise? The total investment reflects everything needed to open and operate the business and adequately navigate its early stages, from buildout to working capital.<h2>Why The Total Investment Matters</h2>Transparency is important. Investment details should be front and center early in the discovery process. It should also be a significant element of the franchise development website for any business opportunity.“The most visited page is the initial investment/start-up cost,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://thejointfranchise.com/">The Joint Chiropractic</a> Senior Vice President, Development&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cmsherwood/">Craig Sherwood</a>. “This is not a surprise. This question is almost always the first a candidate will ask during the initial phone call. It’s critical for a brand to be transparent with not just the initial investment information but the royalties and fees associated with becoming a franchisee.”Developing an accurate understanding of the full financial picture required allows potential zees to assess affordability, tolerance for risk and long-term expectations (before moving ahead or signing a franchise agreement).<h2>What Goes Into The Total Investment?</h2>While every franchise system is different, the total investment required typically includes several core components. “The investment range includes three months of operating costs, the franchise fee and related expenses,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.simplycabinetryfranchising.com/">Simply Cabinetry</a> owner and CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianasimmons-simplycabinetry/">Diana Simmons</a>. So, what is the total investment required for a franchise?&nbsp;Here are five components:<ul><li>Franchise Fee – The upfront fee paid to join the franchisor system and access the brand, training and support available. &nbsp;</li><li>Buildout and Equipment – Costs tied to general construction, leasehold improvements, signage, fixtures and equipment. &nbsp;</li><li>Inventory and Opening Supplies – The initial product, materials or inventory required to open. &nbsp;</li><li>Working Capital – The funds needed to cover payroll, marketing and operating expenses during the first few months of operation. &nbsp;</li><li>Ongoing Fees – Royalties, marketing contributions, technology expenditures and other recurring fees outlined in the franchise disclosure document (FDD).</li></ul><h2>Making An Informed Investment Decision</h2>So, what is the total investment required for a franchise?&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-capital-is-needed-to-buy-a-franchise-2716989">The amount required</a> to launch a franchise opportunity can range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars, or more, depending on the industry, concept and recognition of the brand. That’s why a thorough review of FDD Item 7 (estimated initial investment) and consultation of experienced franchise counsel is crucial.A clear understanding of the total investment required to start a franchise can help candidates navigate the process more effectively. By asking questions early and thoroughly evaluating costs, franchisees can determine whether a brand aligns with their financial goals, laying the foundation for long-term success.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?

Building&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-do-you-build-a-franchise-business-plan-2717037">a business plan</a> is a crucial operational step for any entrepreneur. But how do I build a business plan for a franchise that complements the franchisor’s system while addressing the unique needs of a given location? In this guide with expert tips, you’ll learn how to craft a thoughtful, actionable franchise business plan.<h2>Start With The Franchisor’s System In Mind</h2>So, how do I build a business plan for a franchise? Well, avoiding repetition is a good start.“You specifically don’t want to duplicate what your franchisor is doing,” said long-time multi-unit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.solafranchising.com/">Sola Salons</a> franchise owner,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/haynes-chidsey-6a36a06/">Haynes Chidsey</a>. “There’s a reason why you join a franchise system and why you pay the fees and costs associated with it.”A strong franchise business plan should take advantage of the resources, marketing and operational systems that the franchisor provides (while utilizing daily experiences at the local level to help fine-tune what matters locally).<h2>Focus On Local Priorities</h2>A franchise business plan should be&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/strategicfranchising/how-to-build-a-strong-franchise-brand-presence-in-your-local-community-2729771">locally focused</a>. It should reflect the unique characteristics and needs of each local market. It’s essential to identify opportunities to attract local customers, build relationships within the community at the local level and tailor services to the regional preferences required by each market.“Be complementary to what your system provides,” said Chidsey. “Stay locally focused. That’s what I would say is key. Avoid mistakes by focusing on the magic.”<h2>Practical Steps For Building Your Plan</h2><ol><li>Assess Both Market And Competition – Build a thorough understanding of local demand, competitors and potential customer base. This will lead to more informed projections. &nbsp;</li><li>Define Financial Goals – Include startup costs, ongoing fees and revenue expectations in the business plan. Staffing, rent, marketing and working capital should all be factored in. &nbsp;</li><li>Leverage Franchisor Resources – Incorporate the systems, training and support offered by the franchisor (instead of reinventing processes). &nbsp;</li><li>Set Operational Priorities – Decide which areas require hands-on local management (as opposed to areas guided by the franchisor). Focus energy where it’s most impactful. &nbsp;</li><li>Review And Adjust – A business plan shouldn’t be static. So, track performance, adjust strategies and refine priorities as the franchised business scales.</li></ol><h2>The Takeaway</h2><a href="https://1851franchise.com/chapter-3-developing-a-franchise-business-plan-2722586">Creating a franchise business plan</a> is about balance. With a clear plan that integrates franchisor resources and local insight, franchisees can confidently move forward, knowing their businesses are structured to thrive. Leveraging a proven franchisor system to make smart, locally relevant decisions is key. By slowing down to go fast, and catering to the local trends or demands unique to each market, zees can more effectively build a roadmap and franchise business plan capable of delivering long-term success.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?
