Today on Franchise Maven, we take a dive into the publishing world and debunk the myth that you can’t write a book because your English teacher said you were terrible at it in school–or even if you just write poorly. Guest Rob Kosberg joins host Greg Mohr to introduce Bestseller Publishing’s unique program involving ghostwriters, a TED talk-type format, and narrowing your hook with the goal to get CLIENTS, not cash, as your profit. 3 Key TakeawaysYou don’t need to sell a million copies of your book to profit from it. Just don’t expect royalties to be the primary source of profit.Just because you were told you can’t write in high school, doesn’t mean you aren’t equipped to write a book. Rob’s program only requires you to talk about what you know. The biggest book mistake is a broad application–NARROW your hook!Resourcesbestsellerpublishing.orgHis podcast: Publish. Promote.

Take part in the conversation with an entrepreneur who is “both sides of a coin,” with experience in what it takes for a good franchisor to run/support franchisees AND the necessary industry knowledge it takes to ramp up a business. Guest Cary Tober is ready to share his insights from extensive experience in the health and wellness sector alongside host Greg Mohr on this episode of Franchise Maven podcast. 3 Key TakeawaysWhile the number of hours you spend as an Alloy franchisee is dependent on the role you choose to take, one requisite trait is the same: you need to be really good with people. Partner with the brands that you work with in a way that will align everything between both you and franchisors AND the franchisees. Consider capping your facilities, both in number of locations and number of memberships.

If you want to add on to your stand-alone business or if you need payroll services in general, this is the Franchise Maven episode for you! Join host Greg Mohr in his discussion with guest Marilyn Manning about the work they employ at Payroll Vault, one that has won many awards and accolades for their hands-on, year-round franchisee support system. Above all, understand why networking is always the making-or-breaking point for a franchisee.3 Key TakeawaysFacebook is more of a social consumer-based network. For franchisees, it’s more about promoting clients. LinkedIn is a better networking option.  A day in the life of their franchisees is all centered around networking. Do not overlook the importance of engaging in the community. While no specific background in business is typically required to become a franchisee, one determining trait remains the same: you need to have good people skills. ResourcesWebsite: payrollvault.comDiscover more about the franchise side on payrollvaultfranchise.comEmail: [email protected]’s LinkedinAbout Marilyn ManningPayroll Vault Franchising LLC is a national payroll service business.

Guest Richard Whitaker walks us through the inner workings of his franchise, Crownco, in this episode of Franchise Maven, as he outlines for host Greg Mohr what their franchisees do on a daily basis (including outsourcing repair work), the traits of an ideal franchisee (this doesn’t mean you need a specific background), and their all year accessible support systems–both digitally and in person. 3 Key TakeawaysAn ideal franchisee is not someone with a perfect background in the industry. An ideal franchisee is a good manager and ready to be taught background necessities. If you haven’t done it yet, give serious consideration to a call center or other similar support systems. This will make a difference for your customers and your franchisees.  The home industry is booming right now; everyone is building. Because of this, the construction industry is an excellent franchise opportunity. ResourcesGive Richard a call!Richard’s LinkedinAbout Richard WhitakerRichard began franchising in 1998 with North American franchises.

Tune into today’s episode on Franchise Maven to hear from guest Patrick Rozmus, 20+ years sales and service entrepreneur, on how you can leverage your support system to attract franchisees that are able to follow a system and build up the business without prompting. 3 Key TakeawaysTheir janitorial business doesn’t look for a janitorial background in potential franchisees.
