(Sponsored Post<\/em>)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve talked to thousands of potential franchise owners<\/a> over the years. Some of these conversations have taken place one to one as an advisor-and still do, and some of them occur after my speaking engagements<\/a>, when audience members come up to me afterwards to ask questions.<\/p>\n

All of these conversations have a central theme, and if you happen to be looking for a franchise to buy, it\u2019s one that you\u2019re very familiar with. The theme is\u2026<\/p>\n

Safety<\/strong>

Talking To Yourself<\/h2>\n

All of us do it, you know. We all talk to ourselves. Some of us do it out loud, while some of do it in our heads.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of becoming the owner of a franchise, your self-talk will include a lot of questions. Like this one;<\/p>\n

\u201cHow am I going to know if the franchise I\u2019m thinking of buying is a good one<\/em><\/strong>?\u201d<\/p>\n

The theme of that question is, \u201csafety<\/em>.\u201d You don\u2019t<\/em> want to make a mistake. That\u2019s because making a mistake (in this case<\/em>) means losing your money. No one wishes for that<\/em>.

Rik<\/h2>\n

I’ve known Rik Nonelle<\/strong> for about 10 years.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the CEO of Cincinnati-based, Window Genie<\/strong>, a service-based franchise<\/a> that was started way back in 1994.<\/p>\n

I first met Rik at a franchise convention that the brokerage group I was with at the time was putting on. I noticed Rik immediately<\/em>-which may have to do with the fact that he\u2019s 6\u20197\u201d.<\/p>\n

The other thing I noticed was that he was a nice guy. He seemed genuine. And, he oozed with enthusiasm.

It\u2019s Not Only About Windows<\/h2>\n

Window Genie was recently named the 41st fastest growing franchise in America <\/strong>for 2012 by Entrepreneur Magazine. With around 100 locations in 22 states-some of which include some very impressive Area Developers, Window Genie\u2019s service offerings are reaching more and more consumers all the time. Their services include;<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Window cleaning<\/li>\n
  • Window film application<\/li>\n
  • Pressure washing<\/li>\n
  • Gutter protection<\/li>\n
  • Gutter cleaning<\/li>\n
  • Holiday lighting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Having an array of services to offer-as opposed to only one, is a definite advantage when you\u2019re a franchise owner. And, having multiple service offering are one of the things that today\u2019s franchise buyer\u2019s wish<\/strong> for all the time.<\/p>\n

    It’s like having 6 different franchises in one.<\/b><\/p>\n

    On The Cutting Edge<\/h2>\n

    Today\u2019s franchise buyer\u2019s want\u2026wish<\/strong> for really, is the ability to offer a product or service that\u2019s different. They want something that\u2019s cutting edge. Window Genie<\/strong> has that handled.<\/p>\n

    Window Genie franchisees get to offer window film<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Window film-or window tint, as it\u2019s sometimes called, is a micro-thin polyester material that\u2019s optically clear and ranges from darker to reflective to almost undetectable. This window film provides 99% UV protection and varying levels of heat and glare rejection.<\/p>\n

    In layman\u2019s terms, homes that have window film installed have lower spring and summer utility costs<\/em>, because the film keeps the heat out.<\/p>\n

    The window film also slows down the fading<\/em> that takes place on your valuable home furnishings, and cuts down the glare in your entire home.
    \n <\/p>\n

    Opportunities<\/h2>\n

    A lot of the people I talk with like to have choices. Some of them wish<\/strong> that more franchisors offered more ownership choices.<\/p>\n

    Window Genie<\/strong> does<\/em> offer a couple of ownership choices.<\/p>\n

    Their standard size territory begins at 25,000 households. These are protected and exclusive households<\/strong><\/em> for you to market in to. If you\u2019re looking for a very manageable business-one in which you\u2019re doing some of the work alongside your technicians, this could be the way to go.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re looking to build a larger business-one with multiple trucks, you may want to learn more about Window Genie\u2019s larger-sized territories<\/a>. (Up to 100,000 households<\/em>) In this offering, you’re more of a business development person. You’re more of a manager.
    \n <\/p>\n

    The Competition<\/h2>\n

    If you become the owner of a Window Genie<\/strong> franchise, you\u2019re going to find out about your competitors real fast. And, you\u2019re going to like them<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s right; you\u2019re going to like the competitors in your local market.<\/p>\n

    Because they\u2019re generally weak<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Would you like to know why?<\/p>\n
