Exceptional sales professionals rarely have difficulty a finding a job, but at some point sales pros often realize that they no longer want a job, they want a business of their own.

Some of the finest franchises available today are especially suited for individuals with top-notch sales ability and a motivation to succeed.  It would be simple for us to toss a couple of franchise logos on this page to “sell” you on a single concept, but that is not what we do.  Sales ability is only one of several dimensions we evaluate to help you achieve the Win/Win franchise match.  Give us a chance to evaluate the other dimensions in your life, and then SELL us on YOU.  If you can do it, we will take you to the front of the line to meet executives at some of the worlds finest franchises.

YOU CAN AFFORD TO OWN YOUR OWN FRANCHISE! Sales-oriented franchises often require substantially less start-up capital than other businesses.  Also part of the service we offer is to help you evaluate your financial options and find financing, and there is no cost to you for our services.

How Do I Determine What I can Make with a Franchise?

Because the franchising industry is highly regulated, it creates an environment where you can expect certain information to be given to you in certain ways.  When you make a decision to seriously consider a franchise opportunity you will be given a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) that provides a significant amount of information about the franchise system.  Many franchises include in their FDD what is referred to as an “Item 19″ or an “Earnings Claim.” While the data in this section is helpful, one of your best options for determining how much you can make operating a franchise is to contact existing franchisees and simply ask them.

Franchises are almost always glad to provide you with a list of franchisees after you express genuine interest.  While franchise consultants, and franchise executives have limitations on what they can tell you about anticipated earnings, existing franchisees are free to discuss their own earnings with you.  Furthermore, you can choose to call the franchisees that you believe might most closely match your situation.  Franchise Thinking can provide you with specific questions to ask when you make these calls.  Why let the company you work for make top earnings while giving you only what they think you deserve?  Be your own boss, and know that when you work harder, you make more, and that means more money in your pocket.  Call us today, or fill out the form to the left and we will contact you.

Why Do Professional Sales Franchises Often Cost Less Than Other Franchises?

It is true that many exceptional sales-oriented franchises cost less than franchises that demain less personal selling, but it is not a given.  The answer to the question is complex but worth considering for someone who knows sales.

1)  Lot’s of people want to be in business for themselves, but most want a business where the customers just come to them.  (Don’t we all!)  The truth is that some great franchising systems can, for the most part, make this happen, but marketing cost money.  As a result the franchise opportunity is priced to higher to ensure that adequate market, branding etc. are in place to support the system.

2) Many sales oriented franchises don’t have to have brick and morter (a building or set of offices) to operate, while some of the best, and most respected sales oriented franchises allow a person to operate at home, or in many cases a small professional office space.  That keeps acquisition costs down, and operating costs low.

3)  Sales oriented franchises focus on ONE THING - THE WAY TO ALLOW YOU TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST, while avoiding what sales professionals hate, namely paperwork, and cleaning up messes that make customers unhappy.  We do our best to only show our clients who are skilled in sales, franchises that go out of their way to support sales people by creating a operational system that allows for competetive pricing to consumers, while emphasizing service after the sale.  They know you will thrive, and they will too, if you are allowed to spend your energy on creating sales.  In order to attract top sales talent, franchises are willing to keep costs low.

Bear in mind, this is a very general conversation, and each franchise opportunity must be considered by its own merit, but franchisors love sales-professionals.  Why not take advantage of your strengths.  Send us your sales resume, call us, or fill out the form to the left and we will call you.

Why Don’t We Start by Showing you a List of the Nation’s Best Sales-Oriented Franchises?

Showing listings for key franchises is the approach that most franchise websites take.  They run ads for top-rated franchises knowing that it will be almost impossible to find an open territory for you, but hoping that after you realize the franchise you called about isn’t an option, you will consider one that is.  We want you to know right up front that our goal is to 1) give you multiple options, so that you can make your choice from a position of strength, and 2) help you find the franchise that best fits your financial circumstances, your skills, and is available in the community where you want to work. Remember also, that because we are paid by franchises, there is no cost to you for our services.  If you are ready to move from a sales job to a sales career, fill out the form to the left and we will contact you.
