One of the things I most enjoy doing is helping start-up franchisors get questions answered about how to poise their business for growth. It is really rewarding, and fun, to get to know these concepts that are just coming to market and then be able to watch their steady progression over the years. Many of us experience similar challenges and opportunities at similar times in our companies' life cycle because we share the business model of franchising, so it makes perfect sense for new and seasoned franchisors alike to sit around a table and talk about how to do it [franchising] right. I had the pleasure of leading just such a discussion last week in Chicago. One of the attendees was David Lipschultz, Top Top Dog, Out-U-Go! Franchising (a pet sitting/pet care franchise) and I so appreciate the feedback he shared with me post-meeting....
"Thanks for moderating the round table discusstion last Wednesday and specifically for facilitating the conversation to address my questions about building an infrastructure and corporate team. Every time I hear you speak I'm always extremely impressed. The thoughts and insights you shared last week were extremely helpful to me. In fact, I took the handout you included and passed it on directly to my COO. You really bring a refreshing sincerity and transparency to the business world. Between the roundtable and your article, I am much closer to knowing what my organizational chart looks like. Thanks again for everything!"
Take a minute to check-out Out-U-Go! Franchising's website at: www.outugo.com, you're likely to be hearing more about David and his company in the near future!
With Energy and Purpose,
Susan
