\nIn this post, I’m going to share the one thing that the current crop of Franchise Consultants (franchise sellers<\/em>)<\/a> never tell you.<\/p>\n

But before I begin, I want<\/del> need to make sure you know which Franchise Consultants I’m talking about here. Because there are two different types.<\/p>\n

The 1st type of Franchise Consultant<\/a> is a person who (for a fee<\/em>) helps independent business owners convert their businesses into franchise<\/em> businesses. These consultants can be one-person shows or part of a Franchise Development firm.<\/p>\n

The 2nd type of Franchise Consultant is a person who works with companies who have already converted their businesses into franchise business. They serve as a sales arm for the franchisors they’re contracted with, but they don’t get paid unless they sell a franchise. And it’s these<\/em> Franchise Consultants who I’m writing about today.
\n <\/p>\n

Have You Run Across Any Franchise Consultants?<\/h2>\n

If you’ve been investigating franchises<\/a> for at least a couple of weeks , chances are you’ve run into Franchise Consultants. They’re the ones who offer “free help finding a franchise<\/em>.” Have you responded to their ads? Have they emailed you-out of the blue?<\/p>\n

And while the “free<\/em>” does sound attractive, there’s one thing they never<\/strong> tell you.<\/p>\n

They never tell you that you<\/em> are not their client<\/strong>. But why don’t they tell you? Why aren’t they fully transparent about who their client really is?
\n <\/p>\n

“Get Free Help Finding The Right Franchise For You!”<\/h2>\n

You do<\/em> know why Franchise Consultant offer their services for free…right?<\/p>\n

The reason they offer to “help<\/em>” you find the right franchise…for free, is because they get paid by their clients. In this case, their<\/em> clients are the franchisors they represent<\/strong>. But why don’t they tell you that before you start working with them?<\/p>\n

Because the franchisors they have contracts with pay them quite well.<\/p>\n

Specifically, they receive a portion of the upfront franchise fee you pay<\/a> when you buy a franchise they represent. That’s why they don’t want to tell you who their client is<\/strong>. Does that bother you?<\/p>\n

Or, are you the type that figures as long as the Franchise Consultant matches you to a franchise you like<\/a> and you think you can make money owning, you don’t really care how much money he or she makes.
\n <\/p>\n

I Have Really Good News!<\/h2>\n

If you like the idea of working with a franchise consultant…someone who may be able to match you to a franchise opportunity that makes sense for you, check this out…because I have some great people I want you to meet.<\/p>\n

I used to be a franchise consultant. I was fairly successful. Admittedly, I could have been more successful. I could have made more money. But I didn’t. Why?<\/p>\n

Because I was careful<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For instance, if someone who wanted to work with me came up light in the net worth area, I didn’t work with them. I told them to find a new job and save more money.<\/p>\n

Similarily, if a candidate did<\/em> have plenty of money<\/span><\/strong>, but was too aggressive with me, for example, someone who tried to take control of my process, I dropped them. I could give you more examples, but my point is this:<\/p>\n

I was extremely picky about who I would work with when I was a franchise broker. And if I would have worked with more people I would have made more money. But I didn’t, and that was my choice. I didn’t want my candidates to get hurt. Now here comes the good part.<\/p>\n

I found a small team of franchise consultants who work just like I did.<\/strong> Their services are free, and they’re now strategic partners of mine.<\/p>\n

Learn more about them here<\/strong><\/a>.

I only shared one<\/em> thing I felt you need to know about Franchise Consultants. There’s plenty more. Especially if you’re thinking about working with one of them.<\/p>\n
