What should you do if that happens to you?<\/p> \n<p>Let&#8217;s find out.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p><h2>The Scenario: You Like A Specific Franchise A Lot<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You go to the website of the franchise business you found, fill out their &#8220;<em>Request For Information<\/em>&#8221; form, and wait for them to contact you. And since you like the opportunity a lot, you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/profitable-franchisee\">super-excited to hear from the company<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, you&#8217;ll get an email or a phone call from someone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/franchise-discovery-day\">from headquarters<\/a> to arrange an introductory call with the franchise salesperson. You&#8217;re geting closer&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A day or so later, you&#8217;re on the phone with Janet-their Franchise Development person. She explains the concept. She talks about cost, availability and such. And Janet seems nice. Now this is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sometimes, as you search for a franchise to own,  you may like the person at the other end of the phone, but you don\u2019t like the franchise concept<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, it&#8217;s because her description of the business tells you that it&#8217;s not what you thought it would be. Not even close. For this reason, you&#8217;re not &#8220;<em>feeling<\/em>&#8221; it at all. So now what should you do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait. Maybe I need to rephrase that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>What Not To Do When You Don&#8217;t Like The Franchise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the time to tell Janet what you think she wants to hear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Like &#8220;<em>Okay, thanks. Let me think about it a bit. I&#8217;ll get back to you later this week<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>No you won&#8217;t<\/em>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that being the case, say this instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Janet, I don&#8217;t think your franchise is right for me. It&#8217;s not what I thought it was. But thank you for your time. I appreciate it<\/em>.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if Janet tries to hold onto you? Persuade you to stay engaged with the brand and her process a teeny-bit more, so you can learn a few more things about the &#8220;<em>opportunity<\/em>?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, unless you think it&#8217;s possible that something you&#8217;ll hear will be a game-changer, move on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>My point?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t like the franchise business opportunity, and\/or what you&#8217;d be doing as an owner, move on. Because doing so will free space up in your head for the next franchise opportunity you find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Janet will be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s because in general, franchise salespeople talk with to a lot of people every week&#8230;sometimes 20-30 franchise candidates. For the most part, they&#8217;d rather spend their time working with those who are truly interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget, since there are close to 4,000 other franchises to look into, chances are there&#8217;s at least one that will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchisedirect.com\/blog\/5-things-to-help-you-determine-which-franchise-is-right-for-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">right for you<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/category\/find-a-franchise\">keep looking<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you&rsquo;ll get excited about a specific franchise you&rsquo;ve found, but find out you don&rsquo;t like the franchise opportunity at all.
