As you explore franchises, you’ll see the phrase “No Experience Necessary” often.
How can this be?
Experience isn’t what franchisees are looking for in a franchise candidate. As a matter of fact, franchises provide training programs designed to help people with no industry experience.
Three things matter most to franchisees.
The first is a person’s FINANCIAL QUALIFICATIONS.
The second is a person’s UNDERSTANDING OF BUSINESS AND GENERAL SKILLS. Does the person get things done, follow through, and talk with people effectively?
The third is someone’s WILLINGNESS AND ABILITY TO LEARN.
Solid financial standing, business know-how, people skills, and the ability to learn, these are what tend to indicate future SUCCESS AS A FRANCHISE BUSINESS OWNER - not industry experience.
