Ou, I just remember something the guy said about working at Men in Kilts. He had to push all these addon services that customers just didnāt want. If they had blinds you had to insist to clean those. Ceiling fans, chandeliers, tracks, etc. I donāt mean they would try to upsell one thing, they hit you with everything at once. No customer wants to deal with someone sounding like a used car salesman.

Some of the franchises have been around for a few year already.
As for the up-sells, you gotta do that. Iām a sucker for up-sells, come to my house to do something and you tell me you can do 10 other things, thats a good thing to me.

Thats really not that much money at all for 20%. I think they got a raw deal! I bet they could have gotton a better loan from the government!

400k is a lot in my mind for only 20% and they didnāt want a loan they wanted a successful franchisor.
deals not finnished yet though they not get anything.
Iām genuinely curious - have any of you been (or are currently) a franchise owner for a window cleaning business? I am also newer to this forum, so I could very well be wrong - but I would assume that the vast majority of you are not franchisees. Have is the typical experience/retention in a window cleaning franchisee?
i was a āfranchiseeā for a year
Jim reliving got a good deal . 400k for 20% of the business . Hes going to work it hard and pump the value to $20 million then his 20% Ownership will be worth $4 million .
Then possibly sell itback to the original owners

One lump sum, sure itās a nice chunk but 40% is a whole lot bigger than that. In my mind thatās a suckers deal. Whereās that 20% coming out of, I mean what part? I bet itās coming out of profit.
And to answer Matt Gravesā question, no Iām not a franchise owner but Iām buiding my outfit like it was one for sure. Systems for everything, just like a franchise.

Marketing is there focus. I was going to sell my business to them at one point. Fish if you didnāt know.They have a super duper sales team thatās why they have grown so fast over the years and no one location has has went out of business that I know of. They must be doing something right.
Yeah. I was going down that road and bow down to the competition(meaning fish)due to the demanding of the trade and lack of good help. Donāt do it. Youāll do better all by yourself, just have confidence and the skyās the limit. I see this now. Anyways new it, but as humans we all get discouraged at times. Itās natural, part of the learning process.
