Knowing and understanding the keys to success in any business can be the difference between triumph and failure. Having worked with, mentored and coached hundreds of FranServe Affiliated Franchise Consultants, Alesia Visconti, President and CEO of FranServe, Inc., shared top strategies to becoming a top franchise consultant and why FranServe has been able to foster so many of them.
What are the five key strategies to becoming a top franchise consultant?
Acting with integrity and adhering to responsible franchising
If you are trying to cut corners, you aren’t serving your candidates.
Truly caring about your candidates
A business is usually the second-largest investment they make (a home is No.1). Never forget this is a big deal to the candidate.
Emotional intelligence
It’s important to stay even keel with the ups and downs of this business.
Strong drive
We can teach you everything you need to know about being a franchise consultant. We can’t teach you to have drive and ambition.
Time Management
There are only 24 hours in a day. Time mismanaged is time wasted.
What is your definition of being a top franchise consultant?
Everyone spells “success” differently. For some, it’s the financial accumulation; for others, it’s spending more time with family. For most people, it’s a combination of both. Being a top consultant usually showcases both success on a measurable level (placements, earnings, etc.) and a life well balanced. Top Consultants are role models for others.
Are there some keys that are more important/valuable than others?
Being curious. I always think if someone has a curious mindset, they will go far. They’ll ask questions, they’ll seek out answers. That’s a great trait to have in any business setting. Knowledge is power.
Can all the keys be learned?
Most. I can’t teach some, to be honest. I can’t teach someone to have inner drive. Things like that are what we seek in others in order to even be considered to be a FranServe Affiliate Franchise Consultant.
What makes FranServe the best opportunity to become a top franchise consultant?
The culture. I’m obsessed with culture. To quote Peter Drucker, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” People thrive when they are happy, supported, empowered and respected. I put people before money. The team does too. We believe that a rising tide lifts all ships. Consultants help other consultants, it’s amazing! I think the fact that I promote from within, that we have all been FranServe consultants – yeah, that makes a huge difference! We’ve all walked the walk. Everything, and I mean everything, we do is focused on helping consultants make more placements!
