Recently, I was asked how did you recruit your franchisees. Well, I am retired really and not selling franchises anymore. But we had several methods. Some came from web searching interest of potential franchisee team members. Some of our best franchisee candidates came from industry and some from those who were laid off from Corporations.

We had lots of franchisee candidates, which were customers of car washing services and sons and daughters of customers who would co-sign or help with capital. Our companies were engaged in franchising mobile car wash trucks as businesses. Much of our franchise recruiting was word-of-mouth like that due to really good branding.

I call it the "Power of Presence" Brand Marketing. I kind of took a different approach than with other businesses in the Franchising Sector. The competition hated us, but the customers loved us. The government did not know what to think, we moved so fast, I doubt they understood what we were doing. We scared the ever-living crap out of the Industries we participated in. We kept coming up with new ideas so fast no one could copy us or keep up. Boy that was fun. Thanks for the memories there on that question for sure. My goal was to make you think about recruiting the best people for your business in 2007.
