What does it take to build an unstoppable franchise and lift others up along the way?

Today’s guest, Robin Gagnon, shares the transformative impact of having others believe in her talent before she believed in herself. And this personal insight is why she believes that belief is foundational to success.

Robin’s leadership philosophy revolves around learning, and lifting and leading others, which she credits for building multi-generational wealth and empowering franchisees to realize their own dreams. Robin shares how her adoption of EOS and her focus on core values helped scale We Sell Restaurants to 45 states. She also digs into resale strategies and exit planning, urging franchisors to embrace succession planning as an integral part of brand growth. And shares her advocacy for women and emerging franchisors seeking a seat at the table.

Robin Gagnon is the Co-Founder and CEO of We Sell Restaurants, the nation's leading—and only—business broker franchise specializing in restaurant sales. Under her leadership, the brand has expanded nationwide, dominating the restaurant-for-sale marketplace and franchise resales while delivering on its bold vision: Sell More Restaurants Than Anyone Else.
