Are franchises “bought”, “sold” or “awarded”? Is the franchisor’s representative in the “franchise development” department or “franchise sales” department? This may seem like semantics but it is at the essence of what a successful franchise relationship is all about.

If you “buy” a franchise it would mean that you take control over the process, much the same as if you were buying broccoli at the grocery store. You simply review the various franchises that are available then walk up to the cash register and “buy” the franchise.

If a franchisor “sells” you a franchise it may bring to mind dealings you might have had at a used car lot. You would face a heavy handed sales person whose goal is to ‘close’ the deal knowing, of course, that they will never see you again.

The good news is that you should have neither experience in today’s franchising world. Today, high quality franchisors focus on “awarding” franchises to the best candidate. The franchise development person’s job is to discover a partner for the franchisor - someone who shows potential to be successful in that particular franchise system.

The term “awarding” came into common use in the 1980s. It reflected franchisors’ collective realization that it was in their best interest to work with quality franchisees who would be assets to the brand.

This is a logical change from the early days of franchising. When franchising was young, many franchisors believed that if they offered a successful model and adequate training, anyone could succeed. While the model and training are critical, the other key ingredient is the franchisee. An introvert in a business that requires extroverts, for example, would tend to struggle, and that doesn’t help anyone. Quality franchisors want happy and successful franchisees because they make the system thrive. Even a top-notch business model run by a brilliant franchisor could fail if it was populated with the wrong franchisees.

Today, you should never feel that you are being “sold” or that you have the mere choice of “buying”. As you collect franchise information and look into franchises, you should have the experience that the franchise development person is investigating you, too. S/he will ask about your skills, your priorities, your past experience, and may probe for weak areas so that you can work together to decide if they are issues. You might even be given a skills or personality inventory, which will compare your scores to those of successful franchisees already in the system. The franchise education process will be one of mutual discovery.

Once you discovery the system that’s right for you, and you reach the end of the discovery process, you should have the feeling that you will be working with people you like and trust, and who share your drive to be successful.

Robert Kiyosaki once said you get three types of people in this world, those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say “what happened!”

Here is a brief description of the three types, see where you fit in… Be Honest!

Type 1) Takes Action, Knows What They Want From Life. Is Successful and realizes that money is a good thing that can help them to help themselves and others to achieve their dreams. Success being the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.Doesn’t have time to watch TV and go to the pub-They have better things to do…..!

Type 2) Moans about things they don’t like without taking any action because they’re too scared! Doesn’t admit the fact that they want more from life, they think success comes to a ‘lucky few’ The harder they worked the luckier they got! Spends Most Of Their Time working to survive not thrive! And watching TV and talking about what they don’t like so they can attract more of it! They don’t know about the law of attraction!

Type 3) Doesn’t even manage to survive, moans constantly and thinks that money is evil & that those who have money are evil because they’re lazy low lifes!

Type 1 is the type of person that will succeed with Global Resorts Network because they will listen to those who have been there and done that, and more importantly TAKE ACTION. Because they know that “Nothing Happens Until Something Moves”
