@Potto24 They did tell me! I appreciate you. Definitely made their day.

Best arm I’ve ever seen

[Sam Blum @SamBlum3]

Andrelton Simmons was one of the best defensive shortstops ever.

But at age 32, w/ a shoulder injury, his MLB career ended. He disappeared. No explanation. No rehab/return. Just gone.

“I don’t regret it. I needed a mental break.”

@danielcronauer @Franchise_BW @BobbyBizScout Lots of businesses in general don’t make money. I’d argue most small businesses in general are jobs disguised as businesses, not unique to franchises. Franchising isn’t for everyone and anyone pretending it is should be ran from. Proper mindset and expectations needed upfront

@JaredDHardin @gvh41 I ran a million spread sheet scenarios based on all variables and sizes to get comfortable sf prices for core services. Quick quote. Go over it on the spot with our recommendations. They understand it all so much better than going over a pdf later that night

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@gvh41 @JaredDHardin It really sets the table for their entire experience with your company. A real opportunity to demonstrate genuine care for the customer and their problems

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@gvh41 @JaredDHardin To add to these great points, it starts before the appointment on the initial phone call. Ask more questions. Don’t simply set an appointment.

Also, delivering and articulating the quote on the spot in person is incredibly valuable. Might not be possible in every trade though

Never in doubt

[Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP]

Knicks led by 14 with 2:45 to play in 4th quarter and now are in OT vs Pacers. Teams leading playoff game by 14+ in final 2:45 of 4th quarter are 994-0 in play by play era (since 1997)

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@MatznerJon I agree. For me and many I work with, the main constraint is within them (knowledge, experience), not necessarily the industry. The playbook and onboarding sped my ramp considerably. I want competitive advantages in the industry too. Economies of scale, nat’l relationships, etc.

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@indwesbaseball @NAIABall Some good company on that list

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@brandonadixon I didn’t consciously plan that, but franchising was that “less risk” get reps path in my mind. Lots of us looking for that. No matter the path I’m glad I got the reps at operating and wearing the hats, but the next stabs will be bigger and more removed. Love the updates!

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@TheFranDawg That is wild. I need to know what franchise this is and immediately go through their process. So many questions

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@MatznerJon It’s everywhere and real people are falling for it. I probably would have to. Someone should sell a course on how to spot the course selling swindlers 💡

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@MatznerJon Realizing that path isn’t for you should be viewed as an equally sought after outcome. I’m doing my part, but the noise is loud.

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@red_jeep75 @jcolesimpson I appreciate that! Openly I’d rather still be playing but I’m having fun in business too. I’m a franchisee with Koala Insulation myself, owning Nashville market. I’m also a consultant helping ppl interesting in getting into franchising and I work with hundreds of brands there

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@jcolesimpson I think what you’re touching on is the need for friction in the buying process.
Most brands won’t volunteer it. Lots of brokers won’t either. But that will help frame the decision to avoid a franchisee being ill prepared or equipped for brand support falling flat imo

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@jcolesimpson I got in thinking of my investment as purchasing time. Support accelerating my start as a first time business owner by months and years on front end. I was comfortable with that with hopes of much more obviously. It fell flat a lot.

[Brandon Beachy @Brandon_Beachy]

@gvh41 @Nads_Shariff This is why I never flush.
