/in /by

There are several concerns people have when buying low-cost pet franchises. You may worry about whether or not the business will be successful. To help alleviate this fear, it is helpful to know what successful franchise owners do every day. Here are the top 5 things they do.

They Practice Self-Discipline

A common misconception is people either have self-discipline or they don’t. While some people naturally have more than others, everyone has it. Like anything else in life, practicing can help you to improve your self-discipline. If you want to own low-cost pet franchises then you will need to have a great deal of self-discipline. This will help you to keep on track and keep the business running as it should.

They Give to Others

There are some who simply look at this as a matter of karma or the old saying “you reap what you sow.” The bottom line is people who are putting good out into the world will see the benefits in their business. Some successful owners simply invest in their employees to make sure they are happy and have the tools for success. They may even just take a little extra time to talk with customers and create a better rapport with them.  Others give to charity or help out with events in the community. There are endless ways for you to give to others.

They Get Adequate Sleep

Lack of sleep does crazy things to the body. It can trigger a stress response which in turn shuts down your brain so it does not function properly. Your immune system cannot function at full capacity which makes you more prone to sickness and disease. Lack of sleep can interfere with just about every system in your body and owners of successful low-cost pet franchises know this. Make sure you get plenty of sleep at night. It may seem impossible, but with the right organization, productivity, and planning you can make this happen. You will find that it will make you more alert and happy as well.

This is something we have covered in another blog about the fears people have about buying a franchise and the reality behind these fears. Whether you are afraid of failing or simply getting started you will find that being overcome by fear does nothing to improve your situation.

/in /by

Bringing new clients to your pet franchise can be hard, but here is how to win them over.

Clients are the most important component to any pet franchise (including the furry clients). Without them, there’s no business. So how do you get more people to walk through your doors? These essential skills, if used correctly, will help build your clientele.

1.      Communication

Consistent communication is the number one building block for pet franchises. This includes media life. It’s no secret that nowadays social media is a huge part of audience building. Remember to reach out to your clientele, potential, and current. Let people know you’re there. No one can find you if they don’t know you exist and once you’ve made that contact, be consistent in your communications with letters of appreciation, random posts on social media, coupons, and so much more.

2.      Strategize

What are your pet franchises trying to do? Who is your target? Strategize on who exactly you want to bring through your doors and the best way to meet them.

3.      Management

While this isn’t a skill you have to have when starting pet franchises, it is something that you should develop or work on developing as you build your pet empire. Make sure to meet deadlines, deliveries, fulfill the need of your clients and your business in a timely manner.

4.      Presentation

It’s not just pet franchises. Design effective presentations to display your passion for pets and your enthusiasm for family. When you’re passionate about something, it’s easier to convince someone else to buy-in.

5.      Knowledgeable

You don’t have to know everything when starting out in pet franchises, but you should be willing and ready to learn. When you open your doors, you should be able to answer your client’s questions, making them confident in your ability as an expert in what you’re doing. It’s alright to be honest if you don’t know, but treat it as a learning experience so you know better the next time.

6.      Confidence

With pet franchises, like any other business, you have to believe in what you’re doing. People are far more willing to trust those who are confident, even if they’re wrong, than those who aren’t sure of themselves but are right. You’re doing something amazing, believe in yourself, and show it proudly.

7.      Care

Pet franchises are all about selflessness. Providing care to the families, to the pets, to your employees who will extent that care to the clients. You do not have to give things away, but approach each and every client as someone special—because they are. By providing your consumers with special care, individual services, you will give them a unique experience and build consumer loyalty which they will then tell their friends about and bring you more clientele.
