Perfect matches don't always involve romantic relationships. Cupids, also known as Franchise Consultants, exist in the franchise industry and are experts in the art of matchmaking.
How do you know if you're working with a reputable Franchise Consultant? Like a good life partner, a good listener prioritizes your needs and understands what is important to you. Here are a few indicators that your Franchise Consultant is skilled and experienced.
A Franchise Consultant Who Evaluates Your Commitment
Are you fully committed or just starting out? You want someone knowledgeable enough to recognize this and assist you in determining whether franchise ownership is right for you.
A Franchise Consultant Who Asks Questions And Listens To The Answers
A Franchise Consultant should focus on the candidate's goals once she has been hired to find the best match for them. A good Franchise Consultant will become acquainted with you on three levels:
- Personal
What are the personal goals of the candidate? Do they want more time with family? Do they want to work from home?
- Professional
What is the candidate hoping to accomplish with his next venture? A candidate's professional goals reveal what they want now and in the future. - Financial
A diligent Franchise Consultant will investigate the candidate's financial goals. A Franchise Consultant would not want a candidate to fall in love with a concept beyond his financial means.
A Franchise Consultant With Connections
Once the Franchise Consultant has all the information about their candidate, they can begin matchmaking and present options for the candidate to consider in order to decide who they want to get to know better.
A Franchise Consultant Who Guides The Candidate Through The Process
After establishing a connection, the candidate must determine whether the match is appropriate for them. A Franchise Consultant will encourage the candidate to research the brand and perform validations by speaking with other owners to get a first-hand account of what they should expect as a franchisee.
