Otto Beatty<\/strong> is pretty-well known in the Columbus, Ohio small business community.<\/p>\n

Look<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t really know that until we got to know each other, but, I know that now.<\/p>\n

The reason we got to know each other had to do with Otto contacting me one day, via email.<\/p>\n

The email:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cRead your outstanding book.\u00a0 I took the franchise personality test you provided. Would love to talk to you about your services<\/i>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I followed up with him by phone, and he told me he was starting to get serious about a couple of franchise opportunities<\/a> he was looking at, and wanted my help.<\/p>\n

That phone conversation went real well. We\u2019re both very focused and are \u201cget to the point<\/i>\u201d types of guys\u2026in a nice way, so we understood each other immediately. Otto knew what he wanted from me, and I knew in my head\u2026and in my heart, that I could deliver.<\/p>\n

\"otto<\/p>\n

(Otto Beatty<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Otto signed up for one of my franchise ownership advisory packages<\/a>, and we were off and running.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Franchise Opens In Columbus<\/h2>\n

He had questions about the franchises he was looking at, and I shared some tips, and coached him along his research process. Otto was a great listener. His ego (I\u2019m assuming he had one<\/i>) didn’t get in the way. Otto may know small business-but he didn’t know franchising. And, he wanted to make sure he did a lot of things right as he investigated the franchises he was interested in.<\/p>\n

Otto ended up buying a franchise. We worked closely during the entire process. We talked by phone. We did a lot of emailing back and forth. I walked him through some of the more frustrating parts of his decision, and helped him stay even during the finding and building out of his franchise location.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just bet you\u2019d like to check out the franchise business my client just opened<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll disclose his franchise in a few minutes. But first, an interview.<\/p>\n

My interview of Otto Beatty, new franchise owner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Franchise Interview<\/h2>\n

Me: Have you owned other businesses before?\u00a0 Which one or ones?<\/b><\/p>\n

Otto: Yes.\u00a0 Since 2001, I have owned a moving and storage company, which has been affiliated with three different national van lines.\u00a0 We are currently a part of the North American Van Lines agency network, which is very different from a franchise system.\u00a0 I have also been a passive investor in a Hilton branded hotel for seven years.\u00a0 I started my career as business lawyer in a large law firm and worked in the legal field for over 12 years.\u00a0 My goal was to have ownership in multiple operating businesses and develop a long term source of passive income for the future.<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: Why did you decide to go with a franchise business?<\/b><\/p>\n

Otto: The three things I liked about the franchise model:\u00a0 1.) a good start-up and launch plan;\u00a0 2.) a proven business method and operating procedures; \u00a0and 3.) a network of other business owners whom can serve as a resource in operating my business. On the other hand, I slightly underestimated the rigid nature of <\/i>the franchise business system<\/i><\/a>, which is something that I am adjusting to\u2026successfully. \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Me: Did you look at other franchises? <\/b><\/p>\n

Otto: I mostly looked a purchasing or starting other independent businesses. I did look at one other franchise opportunity in the same industry and one other opportunity in another service industry?<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: What was your attraction to Intelligent Office?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Otto: Throughout my business and legal career, I have always been passionate helping and giving advice to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals. At Intelligent Office, we show these types of business customers a new way to work which provides the benefits of cost savings, greater productivity, and greater connectivity to their customers. Virtual offices, outsourcing, and working remotely are business trends that are expanding rapidly in the United States and I wanted to be a part of that. The Intelligent Office franchise provided me with the vehicle to quickly and correctly enter this field.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a short break. Here\u2019s some information about Otto\u2019s franchise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Intelligent Office<\/strong> is the leading virtual, professionally staffed office space for mobile executives and small businesses in North America. The company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and has over 50 offices across the United States and Canada. Intelligent Office helps clients grow their businesses and work smarter by combining professional staffing with the physical and technological infrastructure of a virtual office. Website<\/a><\/p>\n

\"office<\/p>\n

Back to the interview<\/p>\n

Me: Why did you end up focusing your time and energy towards the Intelligent Office opportunity?<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Otto: Based on the advice in Joel\u2019s book and counselling sessions, I engaged in a great deal of due diligence and research of the franchise, the industry, the marketplace and myself. I came to the conclusion that this franchise met my personal criterion for a business that I was willing to spend time and capital on. Most importantly, I truly believed I could be successful in this business and enjoy myself in the process.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Me: Any suggestions for would-be franchise owners concerning choosing and\/or researching a franchise?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Otto: Do a substantial examination of yourself and your personal\/ family situation, especially if, you have never owned a business before. Even if you have what it takes, is it really want you want to do? How much are you willing to put at risk financially? What are your real strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes? Look at things from the worst case scenario. Being your own boss and business ownership can very alluring and attractive on the surface, but the reality can be very different. People in the franchise industry are good at selling the \u201cdream.\u201d It is critical that you gain a good understanding of the challenges and work required to own a small business…franchise or non-franchise.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Franchise Tip:<\/b> If you\u2019re in the process of buying a franchise\u2026or may be in the future, pay attention to what Otto is sharing here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Otto: Seek out counsel and professional help to evaluate any opportunity. My franchise lawyer, James Meaney, was extremely valuable from a business and legal standpoint. Joel is right when he says, \u201cOnly work with a franchise attorney.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Otto: Research, Research and Research. Joel\u2019s book, \u201cBecome a Franchise Owner!\u201d provides a great blueprint of what you must do.\u00a0 DO NOT RELY solely on the franchisor for your information in making a decision\u2026not because they\u2019re being untruthful\u2026it\u2019s just good business to get everyone\u2019s take on things. Talk to and visit as many current franchisees as you can when you\u2019re evaluating any franchise opportunity. Talk to owners of other franchises about franchising. The investment of time and money to thoroughly research can end up saving you money and headache in the long run. Take your time and look at multiple opportunities inside and outside of the franchise world.<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: If I was a potential client of yours . . . of your new franchise business, how would you describe your business and why should consider using your services?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

Otto: Whether your business needs a professional image, personalized customer service, greater connectivity to your potential customers, or streamlined processes, Intelligent Office gives you the flexibility to succeed. Through our on-demand staffing and office solutions, you gain an indispensable team of professionals, boutique office and meeting space, and essential infrastructure that are yours \u2013 when and how you want them.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Me: Anything else you\u2019d like to add about your franchise purchasing experience?\u00a0 Anything you wish you would have done differently?<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Otto: I am very happy with my current choice.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i>Adjusting to a tight business system, one that I didn\u2019t set-up, is somewhat challenging for me, since I\u2019ve owned businesses in the past, where I helped set the system up. But, I\u2019m getting used to it, and their system is <\/span>working. I did my research, and heard good things about Intelligent Office from franchisees. They\u2019ve been successfully using the Intelligent Office business system for years.<\/i><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I plan on doing, too, so my franchise can be a huge success. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Me: Best of luck with your new business, Otto!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
