  • Deck Medic and Benetrends Financial on Franchise Business Radio
    Deck Medic and Benetrends Financial on Franchise Business Radio
    Interested in Franchise Ownership?
    Contact Pamela Currie to receive a COMPLIMENTARY Consultation on Selecting a Franchise.
    Pamela Currie, Host of the Franchise Business Radio show and Founder of Franchise Intellect, Inc. www.FranchiseIntellect.com
    Mobile: 847-970-8765
    Jeff Konopack, VP Franchise Development
    Deck Medic, Inc.
    I joined the Deck Medic team back in 2008 after owning a painting company for 20 years. Deck Medic has been in the outdoor wood restoration business since 1990. After running the old company for a few years it occurred to me that the best way for us to grow was going to be through franchising. Employees care about their check in two weeks, owners care about the customer calling us back for a maintenance coat in 2 years.
    In 2012 we decided to turn Deck Medic into a franchise, it took a few years and a name change from Deck Bright to Deck Medic because of trademarks but in 2016 we started franchising. I am not only the VP of Franchise Development but an original franchise owner myself. We currently only have 14 franchises but have 3 more scheduled to join us next year already and hopefully we will have a few more sign up this fall for next spring.
    Although we are “Deck Medic” we clean and stain more than just decks, we also protect Fences, Play Sets, Gazebo’s, Pergola’s and all outdoor wood surfaces. In addition we offer power washing service for concrete, paver patios, and house exteriors. Our wood repair options range from one board to a full re-deck.
    Most of our customers are homeowners but we also handle a lot of condo and town home associations. With everyone sequestered at home this year we have been especially busy with most of the franchise owners already surpassing last year’s numbers.
    I would say what has been most interesting since we became a franchise is dealing with the Covid19 issues. In the past we used to always print the quotes up in the customers driveway then present it to them at the kitchen table while we were there. This year we had to switch to more email quotes and early in the year while everything was still an unknown I would talk to the customer on the phone while I was on the deck and they were looking at me out a bedroom window.
    One of the best things about the deck restoration business is that it is not only recession proof (we did well in 2008 as well) but apparently pandemic proof as well. In a normal year most franchises have more work than they can handle but this year we have all be busier than ever.
    One of the unique things about Deck Medic is that in addition to the 30 years we have been in business and the training each franchise owner gets is that we have all of our own proprietary products. Our deck cleaners give our owners a competitive edge over the competition and since we make our own 100% oil based stain when the customer is ready for the maintenance coat in a few years there is only one place they can go to have that done, back to the local franchise owner.
    Our typical franchise owner is someone who is a people person, they have to be able to communicate well with the white collar homeowners as well as our blue collar workers. They must like the outdoors and not be afraid to get their hands dirty. They have to be able to wear all the hats; estimating using our software, selling, scheduling, payroll, hiring & training, and billing.
    One of the things I like about being a small franchise is that I get to know all the owners, their businesses and their employees intimately.
    QUESTIONS:
    Tell us about Deck Medic? What is it you do and what is the history of how Deck Medic was founded?
    Why did you decide to franchise?
    Who is the typical end-customer for a Deck Medic franchisee? Is there a specific market or demographic that is ideal for a franchisee?
    What makes Deck Medic unique?

  • How to Chose the Best Healthcare Provider and Chiropractic Biophysics on Georgia Podcast
    How to Chose the Best Healthcare Provider and Chiropractic Biophysics on Georgia Podcast

    Dr. Mike Weiner
    Optimal Spine and Body LLC



    Dr. Mike Weiner is a chiropractor that has a passion for changing the healthcare system. People are relying on medication to cover up the symptoms. Dr. Mike Weiner practices a very research and evidenced based chiropractic technique called Chiropractic Biophysics. Through this technique that aims to align the spine into its ideal position, he finds that his patients not only eliminate their symptoms, but they get off their medications that they were dependent on. From there, it is his goal that every patient can live with more confidence in their health for a lifetime.



    Dr. Mike Weiner is certified in Chiropractic Biophysics, has two case study research articles in the medical index, and has a desire to continue to research and document his care to help more people. He has been practicing for over 2 years and has recently opened up his own practice called Optimal Spine and Body. Everyone should have the opportunity to live as healthy as they want and Dr. Mike Weiner won't rest until every patient can achieve that without drugs or surgery.




    Topics:
    Healthcare trends, how most doctors are authoritative and don't listen to their patients, how the 3 prongs of evidence informed healthcare should work, trends with insurance, and how to chose the best healthcare provider for you and your family. Lastly, I want to talk about Chiropractic Biophysics, what makes it different, how it has helped myself, and how it can change the course of this country's health as a healthcare model.

    …”‘What are you thinking?’ Because those thoughts are really generating your feelings… And I use that a lot now as a business owner because you’re worried about everything that happens within a business.”

    The recruitment industry takes a lot of stick, much of it deserved, which makes me all the happier that we have built a value adding, professional and fun company."

    1. Why Global Accounting Network chose Atlanta as it's US entry point?
    2. The Recruiting Industry is Broken
    3. How To Fix it

    Tom Berger created the content included in this site.  It is based on his, almost fifty years, of business experience that includes 22 years with large companies, 20 years running seven high tech startups, and eight years coaching private companies and entrepreneurs.  Tom was one of the founders of a joint venture between Motorola and IBM in 1990.  The differences between large companies and small companies became immediately obvious.  Those differences were captured in short bullet points and notes.  Over the next 25 years, the list grew to be 983 items!  Some points were rather trivial while others were quite significant.  Many were based on the mistakes that he made!
