Factors To Think About When Buying A Franchise
For whatever type of industry that exists, there’s literally a franchise out there for that industry. Don’t believe me? If you do a search on Google about ‘strange franchises’, you’ll find some franchises named Texas Lice Squad, 1-800-Puke-Off, Doody Calls, Bully Busters, The Eraser Store, Offline Dating Franchises, Mr. Snowman and so on. Yes, these are REAL franchises.
Now that you know you can find a franchise in every industry imaginable, it’s important to then take a look at a 50,000 ft level and see what industries are right for you and poised for growth. This article will identify 4 factors to consider when buying a franchise.
1. Understand what you want – It’s absolutely essential that you know what your goals are. If your main objective is to spend more time with your family during nights and weekends, buying a franchise in the restaurant industry makes no sense whatsoever. Those are the peak times. If you want to be able to run your business from anywhere in the world (like Bora Bora for instance), don’t buy a franchise the requires you to be physically present in order for the business to run.
2. Be smart about your decision – It’s wise to find a franchise in an industry that you’re absolutely passionate about, which is what I would recommend. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably more productive when you’re happier with what you’re doing. Don’t you agree that there’s something magical with being happy in your work? The bottom line is it’s important to start off finding a few franchises that align with your goals and values in an industry that you enjoy.
3. Analyze the industry you’re considering – Now if the industry you’re considering is stagnant or mature, walk away and move onto another industry. You’re looking for an industry that’s in a position of growth and stability. Take a look at the fastest growing companies today like Facebook, Apple and Google. At the time of this writing, Facebook has just been valued at 65 Billion (with a B) and the company just turned seven years old. Google has been around a little over a decade yet we would all be lost if we didn’t have Google in our lives.
4. Analyze the top franchises in an industry – Identify the top 10 franchises in the industry you’re considering and find out if they are expanding or if they are stagnant. Go ahead and research their earnings to see if they’re profitable if they happen to be public companies. Make sure you can tell if their growth is sub-par or exponential. Don’t be scared if there’s a lot of competition. In fact, you should welcome competition because healthy competition leads to innovation.
Choosing The Right Home Based Internet Business
Opportunities to start your own business used to divide themselves into two basic classes. The opportunity was either a home based business, or you set up a brick-and-mortar business. For years, there was a core of home business standbys such as Avon, Tupperware, Fuller Brush, and Mary Kay. In those days, the men had the jobs, and the women were looking for a way to make money part time. Gradually, as the work force expanded, other industries got the idea, and organizations such as Amsoil synthetic motor oils, began to make their appearances. Over time, and with the rise of Amway, the home based business gained in apparent legitimacy and people from all walks of life began to chase the dream of, if not being filthy rich, then at least being able to fire their boss and work on their schedule.
Unfortunately, con artists and businesses that should have not been unleashed on an unsuspecting public got wind of this and realized that, for many, the product or service provided was not as important as the chance to make money…lots of money!
Today, even well-meaning, well-governed companies with excellent products sometimes use the lure of “easy money” as their main enticement into their particular home based business. This IS the lure that will attract many, and, in that it is so easy and they fell for it themselves, many who sign up with these companies also use the promise of potential wealth as their main marketing tool in the muddy waters of recruiting. They are not completely to blame for this. Obviously, they would not lean so heavily upon the claim if it was not successful in luring those who believe that picking the “right” home business will make them rich…overnight!
With the advent of the internet, a whole new world, literally, of opportunities has come to light. All that was available before as a home business opportunity is now available as a home based internet business opportunity. While many old reliables have adapted and now have at least minimal online programs, the old scammers and borderline businesses have come with them. In fact, the internet now provides so many so-called, and real, business opportunities that finding an honest, genuine, reliable opportunity can seem daunting to the beginner.
Therefore, we are going to review a few points that someone hoping to start a home based internet business should consider.
1. Know thyself. Despite the claims, home businesses, worked in your pajamas as I am at this moment, require work and dedication. It is Sunday morning, and I worked every day last week. Some days I only worked two hours, but I have committed every day last week to my home based internet business.
The upside is that I worked less than 40 hours, I worked at home, I started and stopped when I felt like it, and I occasionally chose to work on things just because that’s what I felt like doing at the moment. Also, I have achieved a personal point in my online business activities that I can knock off for a few days without present business suffering. You will have to work to grow your business, especially at first, and if you are not willing to do the work…don’t start.
Creating Your FANTASTIC Home Staging Elevator Speech!
Once we step back into fall the serious networking begins again! Networking is one of your 3 ‘Must Do’ marketing strategies if you really want to grow your business quickly.
The way to make the most of attending a networking event is to come well prepared. Most networking events expect at the least, that you will introduce yourself through your ‘elevator speech’ (aka your ‘infomercial or commercial’) and give others your business card. If you are a member of a networking group you may also be able to create a table display which gives you more visibility.
Before I go to any networking event I always like to set my intention so I know what results I expect to ‘get and give’ at a particular event. Networking does take work and it takes time. You need to attend often and follow up with people you meet. People need to KNOW YOU, LIKE YOU & TRUST YOU before they will buy from you. And they can’t do this from just one quick introduction!
To make the most of your time, it is best to have your website up and running even if it is not 100% completed. Most networkers will go directly to your website to learn more about you. Just like home staging you only get 1 chance to make a great first impression – so make the most of it!
CREATE A LONGER AND SHORTER VERSION OF YOUR ELEVATOR SPEECH
Typically you have anywhere from a few seconds to give your elevator speech to several minutes. You might use it quite literally when you are in an elevator and someone asks you what you do. In some more structured groups like BNIs (Business Networking International) you have 60 seconds to talk about yourself and let the other members know what type of ideal client/referral you are looking for.
If you are new to the world of networking and nervous, there is nothing that says you can’t type it up and have it on a piece of paper to read from. Or try writing just your few key points on index cards or in your blackberry to refer to if you need to. Most experienced networkers realize that we all started just like you! Go with a friend if you are really nervous or join a Toastmaster’s group to gain your confidence.
If you follow this simple proven 7 Steps to Creating Your FANTASTIC Elevator Speech Formula you can adjust it like an accordion. Write up 2 versions so that you have your ‘short version’ and your ‘expanded version’.
I’ll share mine with you here as if I was introducing myself as a Home Staging Instructor to a networking group. Script it so it is fairly conversational.
A. Longer Version Elevator Speech
1. Your NAME & Your BUSINESS NAME -Hello my name is Dana Smithers. I am a Home Staging Expert, founder and instructor of the PRES Staging School.
2. Who your IDEAL CLIENTS are -I teach aspiring home stagers how to become successful and confident business owners.
3. What your ideal clients STRUGGLE with -Many students are new entrepreneurs and have no idea even where to start to build their business. They struggle with lack of confidence to do the physical staging and to charge what they are really worth.
Popular Franchising Trend In The Philippines
Franchising is a popular trend in the Philippines today, particularly now that many Filipinos have started their own businesses through acquiring a franchise. A popular example of a franchise business today is food-cart or food-stall business.
Franchising Trend in the Philippines
Although it was only a few years ago in which franchising gained a lot of popularity in the Philippines, this specific business process has been in the Philippines for decades. It was because of this unique business process that many foreign businesses were established in the country, such as 7eleven and McDonalds.
Today, because of new Franchising business Philippines that requires lesser costs and maintenance, such as the popular food-cart or food-stall business, many Filipinos were able to acquire a franchise business for themselves. And it was because of this that franchise businesses became a popular trend in the Philippine market.
Why Food-Cart Businesses?
Like many other popular types of franchising businesses, food carts started as individual businesses owned by individuals. However, a number of franchising companies in the Philippines foresaw its success as a franchising business and started to acquire the rights of these businesses from their owners, while other food-cart business owners had also started their own franchising.
Since then, a new concept of franchising business was introduced in the Philippine market which aims to accommodate the needs of the average Filipino. This is the food-cart franchise business which is now considered as one of the most popular and in-demand franchise business Philippines. So what are its advantages?
Affordability One reason why these types of franchise businesses became popular is because of its affordability, in which many of todays food-cart franchise businesses can be acquired for no more than P25,000 Philippine Pesos.
Simplicity Another reason why these franchise businesses became popular is because of its simplicity which requires lesser maintenance costs and effort. And because of its relatively small size, these businesses can also be easily manned by one or two personnel, which make these businesses even more popular in the country.
Success of the Franchising Industry
According to the PFA, or the Philippine Franchising Association, the franchising industry had grown immensely since the start of food-cart or food-stall franchise businesses in the Philippines. Because of its affordability, many Filipinos were able to start their own successful and profitable business through franchising.
