Hear how Phil Campbell , Franchisee of Skedaddle, found his  perfect match with Skedaddle through the help of a dedicated franchise broker. A personal experience with a squirrel infestation sparked their interest, highlighting the importance of Skedaddle's humane wildlife control services and the value they provide to clients. He started his franchising journey after a company restructuring led to a layoff he faced the unsettling reality of losing a steady paycheck for the first time since age 17. This challenging experience sparked determination to regain control over their financial future, inspiring them to explore franchise business opportunities as a way to provide for his family independently.

Phil explains that providing full-time employment for five passionate team members has been the most rewarding part of his journey. Knowing they love their work and that he has helped launch them into promising careers is incredibly fulfilling—more than any financial success could ever be. He discusses his plans for the future of Skedaddle, including expanding the business by adding a second van, investing in marketing, and building partnerships with humane shelters to grow the company's reach and impact.

As an experienced franchise owner, I am dedicated to helping others succeed in franchising. With hundreds of trusted franchise options, I share some personal favorites, emphasizing that while these may not suit everyone, they are brands  I strongly believe in, as well as addressing  frequently asked questions about franchising for 2024.

I share with you my franchise journey with Krispy Kreme and Wingstop as well as creating and starting my own brands like Pink Box Donuts  in Las Vegas. Prior experience in a business isn’t necessary to buy or succeed in it. I highlight  the success story of a top-performing franchisee with Home Helpers, a brand with over 300 franchisees. The franchisee reportedly generated $26 million in revenue last year, showcasing impressive results.

I emphasize the importance of evaluating your role in building company culture, offering competitive compensation, and retaining employees. While market challenges can affect hiring, the ultimate responsibility often lies with leadership. Retaining talent isn't solely about money; it’s about creating a supportive and attractive work environment.

Hear how Kevin Krull, Franchisee of  1- 800 Water Damage and Blue Kangaroo Packoutz, moved from employee to employer after seeing how busy and profitable a plumbing business could be. After working as a plumber’s apprentice and seeing the business owners expand market share and revenue, he opted to take a leap of faith and begin his own business. He discusses the potential for high annual sales in a franchise territory, specifically with 1- 800 Water Damage. A strong franchisee can generate over a million dollars in sales per territory, as the territory is a marketing area rather than a service area. 

Kevin talks about the fulfillment he feels as a franchisee, highlighting how owning a franchise has allowed him to provide for his family in ways he never thought possible. He emphasizes how his previous experiences with failed businesses led them to choose a franchise for the support and guidance it offers. Being part of a larger network, where franchisees help each other out and communicate across the nation has been a game changer for his business success.

John Gelastopoulos, CEO of Broken Yolk Cafe, offers advice to independent restaurant owners considering franchising. He emphasizes the importance of building strong systems, maintaining high-quality standards, and fostering a positive team culture. John also discusses the profitability of breakfast items like eggs and pancakes due to high margins.

Broken Yolk Cafe was one of the first restaurants he was tasked with selling. But seeing potential in the brand himself, and having developed a passion for the industry, John spent every penny he had to purchase the venue. Since that day in 1993, he has grown the emerging franchise to 40 locations, and is embracing a ‘challenger mindset’ to stake the legacy concepts claim in the growing breakfast and brunch segment.

John shares how he won over a potential franchisee by offering personalized support. Unlike a competing brand that provided minimal guidance, he promised to "hold their hand until they learn how to walk." This commitment to hands-on mentorship convinced the franchisee to sign the agreement immediately.
