Weekend Franchise Research

 

Weekends are a great time to do franchise research. It used to be that you had to go to your local library, and pour through several different books, magazines, and other assorted publications to get the information you needed. Not anymore. (Libraries are still pretty cool places.)

Online research is here, now. I’m guessing that 95% of the people that are seriously looking at becoming franchise owners have PC’s at their homes, and use them for researching everything. It’s certainly become the norm.

Of course doing the right kind of research….

If you’ve been looking into franchise ownership for awhile, or even if you’re just starting out, I recently did a webinar for the University of Northern Iowa, that’s chock full of great franchise research tips, and techniques. And, UNI has made it available for you!

 

Free!

 

You’ll learn how to;

 

  • Determine how far to go in your research

 

  • Great questions to ask the current crop of franchisees

 

  • Why you need to have a camera

 

  • How to find out how much money you’re really going to make

 

And much, much more.

 

The webinar lasts about an hour, and it will be time well spent.

I reveal even more research tips and tricks in my upcoming Franchise Book.

 

 

 

 

 

Future Franchise Owners; Wipe Your Slate Clean

You’re probably not doing your franchise search right.

 

How do you know, Joel?”

 

I base my statement above on the hundreds…probably…thousands of conversations that I’ve had before, during, and after seminars that I’ve presented on franchise ownership over the years.

 

Let me ask you something that’s off-topic;

 

When you decided to become a homeowner, (as opposed to a renter) did you know how to go about looking for your dream home?

 

I’d wager that you had to learn how to buy a house. Right?

 

Unless of course, you were born a natural home buyer…

 

Most people that I’ve met who were already in the process of looking around at franchises, were searching the wrong way.

 

If you’re in the process of looking for a franchise or two to start investigating, I want you to stop. That’s because in all likelihood, you’re doing your search in reverse.

 

In my upcoming franchise book, I explain exactly where future franchise owners need to start searching for some of the top franchises that are out there.

 

You need to begin your franchise discovery process with a clean slate. Spend a few minutes with a damp rag and clean it. But don’t worry; I’m going to help you figure this “franchise thing” out. You just need to make sure that you’re starting in the right place.

 

I’ll show you exactly where that place is, in my upcoming franchise book.

 

You have my permission to Pre-Order it right now.
