The Day-to-Day of Franchise Ownership

Owning a franchise is exciting! You are your own boss and can achieve success beyond your wildest dreams. However, many people only see the dollar signs at the end of the road before they even start their journey. There is nothing wrong with this on the surface. But if you let the long-term goal overshadow the little steps you need to take to reach it, your business could flounder or derail. So, it is important to understand what a franchise owner does day-to-day. That way, you establish realistic expectations and you build a foundation that helps you reach your goal. 

Everyone’s day will look a little different, depending on where they are in their franchise journey. Here’s a small sampling of what your day may include.

Marketing

A large part of your job as a remodeling franchise is to ensure people know you are there. You will do a fair amount of active marketing and researching prospective clients. Don’t worry! DreamMaker will help you. 

Meetings

As an owner, you will want to meet with your team to establish working procedures and expectations, and to define goals. And it’s important to make every meeting count. They are a way to keep your people in the loop and make them feel like an important part of the team. Meetings also give you a chance to offer kudos and to offer assistance when a member of your team needs a bit of a boost in performance.

Networking

Carving out time to build relationships with others in your industry and vendors is vital. Even just a little bit of time helps.

Business Planning

Don’t set it and forget it. Take time to update and adjust your business plans. That way you don’t stray too far off course.

Client Work

A large part of your remodeling franchise is the remodeling part. As your business grows, your days will increasingly fill up with client-related work. And that’s a good thing!
