What Does a Franchise Consultant Do?

I have met a lot of folks that don't even realize that there are franchise consultants out there.? The question becomes, “What does a franchise consultant really do?” So, I wanted to give you a little bit of behind the scenes and tell you what my role looks like.?

Coaching You Through the Research Process

Usually my role is focused on being a coach. I help guide you through the research of various franchise opportunities that match best to your lifestyle and financial goals. But before we even get to that point, I have all my clients start by completing an assessment.? I need to understand who you are, what your values are, what motivates you, what transferable skill sets you hold, and what you would look like as a business owner.? Once those assessment results come in, I spend a significant amount of time reviewing those results, processing them and comparing them with the conversations that we may have had up until that point.

If those assessment results tell us that you'd be a good fit for franchising, we're going to schedule a consultation. That consultation allows us time to dig in deep and build the business model unique to you.?

Creating Your Business Model

As I prepare for our consultation, I utilize the assessment results and build a long list of potential franchises from our inventory that I think could be a good fit for you.? As we create that business model, concepts are eliminated and we then focus on the short list of concepts for exploration.

I always provide folks with an overview of these concepts.? These are the ones that you will do significant research on as you go through the research process and apply the FranNets 4-step process.

If you would like to learn a little bit more about how I match folks up with franchises to investigate and research, give me a call and set some time up on my calendar. I'd love to give you some more detail.
