Steve Reppert, the Director of Franchise Development at Horsepower Brands, joins Scotty Milas on this week's episode of "All Things Considered Franchising."

With his background as an entrepreneur, Steve has extensive experience in the franchise industry. He
started his career in the health and fitness industry and later became one of the first
franchisees of a growing nutrition store brand. After successfully running multiple locations for
10 years, Steve decided to focus on his family and moved back to Nebraska. He now plays a key
role in the growth and development of the iFOAM brand within Horsepower Brands. 

In this episode, Scotty and Steve discuss the iFOAM brand and its potential as a franchise
opportunity. Steve shares his personal journey as an entrepreneur and how he got involved
with Horsepower Brands. He highlights the unique aspects of the iFOAM brand, including its
focus on energy efficiency and the growing demand for insulation services.

Steve emphasizes that iFOAM franchisees do not need prior experience in construction or insulation, as the brand provides comprehensive support and infrastructure. He also discusses the importance of sales
aptitude and the role of franchisees in managing the business and building a management
team. Steve says, “If you’re not a salesperson, don’t try to do sales. It will cost you
more money than you will make.”

Scotty and Steve touch on the extensive back-end support provided by Horsepower Brands, including marketing, sales, operational support, and recruitment. As Steve explains, “Franchising gives you a lot of space. You can be in a business for yourself, but not by yourself.” They highlight the potential for scalability and wealth-building in the iFOAM franchise model. The conversation concludes with Steve encouraging
potential franchisees to connect with themselves and consider their core values and goals
before exploring the iFOAM franchise opportunity.
