Yes is such a nice word. No, on the other hand, is often associated with direct chastisement and/or some type of negative connotation. However, when working with a trusted certified franchise consultant sometimes the best word you can hear is in fact, no.

FranServe Certified Franchise Consultant Barb Bliss, CFC recently had this experience with a candidate of hers. “My candidate is an everyday average guy who based on his financial profile was well-suited for only certain investments. After researching one certain franchise brand, it was too far outside his financial boundaries so together we decided to tell the franchisor, no.”

That decision probably saved Barb’s candidate a lot of future frustration and financial hardship. Instead, Barb and her candidate together have found a much better fit for the lifestyle and financial criteria the candidate needed. Oftentimes it’s not about always saying yes; it’s about helping others not make mistakes.
