He had been in the IT space for almost 3 decades, and felt <a title=\"time to be the boss\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/control-your-schedule\">it was time to be his own boss<\/a>.\u00a0In addition, he wanted to involve his son, Jordan, in whatever franchise business he purchased.<\/p>\n<p>I remember our many talks. I especially remember how important it was for Greg to have Jordan by his side in whatever franchise business opportunity he found. (<em>I heard it in his voice<\/em>.) And just so you know&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I taught Greg how to do a correct franchise opportunity search.<\/li>\n<li>I showed him the proper steps to take after he found one or two franchises he liked.<\/li>\n<li>I provided him with all the tools needed to do great research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He looked at a franchise or two, but actually ended up becoming interested in a franchise opportunity <a title=\"window genie franchises\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/get-6-different-franchises-for-the-price-of-1-franchise\">he learned about right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, Greg became the owner of <a title=\"fresno window cleaning\" href=\"https:\/\/fresno.windowgenie.com\/window-cleaning-fresno\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Window Genie\u00ae of Fresno<\/a>.

He now owns a franchise business, and as an added bonus, <strong>his dream of having his son by his side has come true<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Happy Franchise Owners<\/h2>\n<p>Most of today&#8217;s franchise websites include images of happy franchisees.

And those images are going to have a powerful affect on you.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, you&#8217;re going to start &#8220;<em>seeing<\/em>&#8221; yourself as a happy, <a title=\"be a success\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/the-top-10-things-franchise-owners-need-to-do-to-be-successful\">successful<\/a> franchise owner. You&#8217;ll invent your own images. It&#8217;s all good. <em>Really<\/em>. But know this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>When you see an image of a happy franchisee, <em>you don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re going through in their business on a daily basis<\/em>.\u00a0You don&#8217;t know what their daily struggles are. You don&#8217;t know how much of their days <em>are<\/em> filled with happiness.

In addition, you&#8217;ve never had to manage employees. And you don&#8217;t know <em>anything<\/em> about the business end of things-because you haven&#8217;t talked with anyone from Subway franchise headquarters yet. Heck, you don&#8217;t even know how much a Subway franchise costs!<\/p>\n<p>Bluntly, what sense would it make for you to start calling Subway franchisees?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to do instead.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Get The Ball Rolling<\/h2>\n<p>What follows is taken from my online course, &#8220;<em>How To Buy A Profitable Franchise<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>An Excerpt From\u00a0Module 5, Lesson #1: Your Choices And What Do Do Next<\/h3>\n<p>Go to the website of the franchise concept you\u2019re interested in learning more about, and fill out their information request form. Or, if you want, you can do something really weird,\u00a0<em>and just call the company<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>After you request information from the franchisor (<em>or franchisors)<\/em>\u00a0you\u2019ve matched yourself to, \u00a0you\u2019ll receive an email or phone confirmation stating they received your information request. You may also be asked when it will be convenient to have a phone conversation\u2026an introductory call.\u00a0<strong>Set up the call<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Before the call, you\u2019ll probably receive some type of\u00a0franchise information package-usually via email. \u00a0Go ahead and read through the materials, and make sure you write down areas you have specific questions on. You may not be able to ask all of your questions on the introductory call, but have then handy anyway. You can ask them on the next call.<\/p>\n<h2>It&#8217;s Marketing!<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that the materials you\u2019ve received are marketing collateral. They\u2019re sales pieces. They\u2019re designed to sell you on the idea of buying that particular franchise. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that-franchisors are trying to sell franchises. That\u2019s their job. It\u2019s how their businesses grow. It\u2019s how their brand expands.<\/p>\n<p>The information you receive will undoubtedly have a nice photo or two showing amazingly happy franchisees that are strolling around \u2014 maybe even having fun \u2014 while working in their businesses.\u00a0<em>Please remember that you\u2019re experiencing franchise marketing techniques at their finest<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What you\u00a0<em>really<\/em> need to do is talk to some of the current franchisees and find out if they are, in fact, really that darn happy. Think about it from the franchisors perspective: If you were trying to get prospective franchise owners all juiced about your offering, wouldn\u2019t you want to show pictures, and maybe even videos, of super-happy franchisees?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> The marketing materials are not the franchise business. They\u2019re marketing materials.<\/p>\n<h2>Finally&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>To summarize, when you&#8217;re investigating franchise opportunities, you&#8217;re going to see a lot of images of happy franchise owners. That&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>But to find out just how happy they are, how often they&#8217;re happy-happy about their decision-and happy to be a franchise owner, you need to talk to them. <em>At the appropriate time<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Look at them.
