FranchiseInsider #27: B2B Consulting/Training

Franchise Insider   #27

Business-to-Business Consulting & Training

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

You might think that all your business acumen will make owning a consulting business easy, and that your clients will just line up outside your door for you services. 

WRONG. While you may be fantastic as what you do, (and congratulations for building your career as far as you have, on your own!)you won't start out with the reputation, or the name recognition that will allow you to start really strong.

That does NOT mean you should not go into B2B Consulting and Training.  It means you need a vehicle through which you utilize your skills and get the marketing boost you need to truly thrive. Brand Name, recognizable training that has a global reputation, are the vehicles you want working for you. That way you can  put your energy and your skills to productive work immediately and start seeing fast success. 

Marketing, technology, curriculum, backed funding (for financial services) all support your business, allowing you to be the face of your business, the talent of your business, the true commodity.  

Owning a B2B Consulting/Training or funding business is not for the faint of heart. While you are supported, you still need to get your clients. Getting your clients is significantly easier when you are presenting your services backed by a recognized brand name and not just Joe-Schmo who used to work at yadda-yadda Inc. (right?)  

For some consulting franchises you'll be trained in their curriculum and training style. You'll train individuals, you'll train teams,  you'll train entire companies- it all depends on how big you want to go. 

Others, you'll be trained in how to run a round-table support groups. Small business owners meet monthly and you facilitate their discussion topics. You also do one-on-one consulting, and training with each round-table member.  

A Business Financing Business takes a lot of financial backing. Some franchises match your investment, others discount, some do factoring. 

Whatever franchise you invest your time with, you'll be the face, you'll get your clients, you'll reap the benefits. Not all B2B services are home-based, no-employee models, but many are. With some you'll build a team and mange them. It all depends on what YOU want, and how you see yourself in your new role as a B2B consultant.

It's not rocket science to own your own business. It's just different from the masses. A franchise isn't for everyone, but it might be for you...

FranchiseInsider #24: Moving & Recycling

Franchise Insider  #24

MOVING and RECYCLING

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

I know this one will surprise you. Moving and Recycling touches everyone's lives. 

• Do you know of someone who has parents or grandparents who needs to downsize or is moving into a Senior-Care facility? They need a moving and recycling  service.  
• Do you know someone who is simply downsizing? They need a moving and recycling service. 
• Do you have large items you want to donate?  
• Do you have extra stuff that needs to go into storage? 
• Do you have a college student going or coming from their present digs? They need a moving and recycling service!  
• Do you get it? It's everywhere!

And now, every respectable moving franchise is in the business of recycling. The less that goes into a land-fill, the better for everyone. These franchises have agreements with local recycling, donation companies, etc to make it easy for them to care for the earth as well as their customers. 
Ever seen an episode of Hoarders? Then you know how much business there is for movers and recycle-rs.  But the local Joe-business can't do it as well a a franchised business. Professionals do it right, do it fast, and make more money.

As the franchisee of a Mover and Recycling franchise you manage the team, you network with all sorts of people, and you feel good the whole time as you take care of our planet as well as take care of our customers. 

What's involved? Wrapped moving vehicles, a team of 4 on each vehicle and high customer satisfaction service. If you are great with people of all ages, love to be a help to others and want to mentor a team of young adults, this is the franchise niche for you. 

Executive owners need apply- it's for those who want to build a steady, solid, community-service business.

It's not rocket science to own your own business. It's just different from the masses. A great business isn't for everyone, but it might be for you...

B2B Cleaning Services

Just One More Franchise Opportunity
(that you probably didn't know you could own) 

B2B ( Business-to-Business) Cleaning Service Industry is one of the hidden gems that very few people think about, very few people notice, and even fewer consider to be something they'd follow through with. Why? Because cleaning toilets and replacing the soap in soap dispensers just isn't sexy....Or is it? 
This is one of THE BIGGEST moola-making franchise industries out there. If you are fortunate enough to land a territory (or two) in this industry, you can pat yourself on the back and watch your friends and family drool with envy. Not because you clean toilets-you don't- but because you have harnessed the glory of franchising so simply.  

As the franchisee of a B2B Corporate cleaning service your role is as the C-level executive. You never don a toilet brush. no. You get contracts-huge contracts. Your hire managers, you manage the mangers and  build your empire of corporate business buildings.  Repeat business, recessions can't touch this industry, low overhead, low inventory, high margins...this is IT

It's not rocket science to own your own business. It's just different from the masses. A great business isn't for everyone, but it might be for you...
