Tennessee is one of the hottest markets for franchise owners

What I Learned at the 2023 FranNet Spring Conference

As a FranNet consultant since 2005, I always look forward to the company’s spring and fall conferences, bi-annual gatherings that feature some of the best and brightest minds in the franchising industry. The?2023 FranNet Spring Conference?was held last month and turned out to be quite a successful event. These conventions always have a way of reenergizing our effort to help entrepreneurs make their business ownership dreams a reality.?

I wanted to share a few of the takeaways that I personally experienced at this event, and what they mean both to the industry and my prospective clients back at home in Tennessee. Here’s a recap of my experience…

Tennessean is Tennebelievin’…

FranNet’s conferences are well known for their ability to attract representatives from some of the best franchise opportunities available, as well as some of the industry’s most established funding organizations. Dozens of individual brands were there to provide FranNet consultants with the latest information, data, and statistics that demonstrate their potential in the marketplace. The sheer breadth and depth of the industries, business sectors, and categories that were in attendance was amazing.?There were franchises represented in the healthcare, beauty, home improvement, technology, education, childcare, fitness, pet care, youth enrichment, and restaurant categories – just to name a few.?Some were veteran franchisors, with decades of experience, and others were some of the newest, emerging brands on the scene. From an operational standpoint, some were full-time opportunities and others were semi-absentee models. All were eager to share why their concepts were worthy of consideration from our prospective clients. My biggest takeaway? Nearly all of the brand representatives identified Tennessee as one of the hottest markets to grow their family of franchise owners.

Why These Conferences Matter to You

The bi-annual FranNet Conferences play an integral part in educating and informing our consultants about the different franchise opportunities we present to our clients. When we work with you on a one-on-one basis to determine whether a concept matches up with your goals, lifestyle, and income-generating capability, it’s extremely important for us to have a deep understanding of their value proposition and key differentiators. How do we accomplish this? During dozens of presentations with as many franchisors as we can fit into our schedules over a three-day period. In a way, it's like speed dating. But we’re playing the role of the parent, trying to size up the suitability of each franchise opportunity. As trained franchise consultants, we know there’s a perfect fit out there for each and every one of our clients looking to own a business of their own. In the end, what we’re really looking for is an appropriate partner to help you make your entrepreneurial dreams come true.

The theme of FranNet’s Spring Conference was “Be the Difference. Be the Change.” Having enjoyed my time at this successful networking event, I’m more than willing to follow through on this premise for my clients in Tennessee. And I hope you are as well.
