Come meet our Transblue franchise team!
Attending a Meet the Team Day from Transblue is an essential step in making an informed decision to buy a franchise. You’ve had introductory discussions and reviewed financials, but now’s the chance to get an even deeper dive into the operations and culture.
Traditionally, it’s a day for the leadership team to market themselves and sell the opportunity, with candidates encouraged to ask questions. The goal for both sides is to validate whether the candidate is the right fit.
Our team recently signed agreements with candidates Zach Simms in Spokane, Washington, Andrea Fregonese and Mirco Berti in Hartford, Connecticut, who have offered tips on questions candidates should bring to their Meet the Team Day.
Do Your Homework
Be sure to have studied the franchise disclosure document (FDD) and have a list of follow-up questions ready. Meet the Team Days present the unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with members of the leadership team, so be sure to get all your pertinent questions ready.
What to Ask?
- What do they perceive as their advantages over the competition?
The competitive landscape is more present than ever and crowded, with similar concepts vying for consumer attention. This is the chance to ask the leadership team about competitors and compare their strengths and weaknesses in the market.
- How will the brand support me?
All franchise businesses will offer introductory support to get your business off the ground. But, what ongoing practices do they offer their existing franchisees? Many franchisors include established franchisee testimonials in their Meet the Team itinerary, with new candidates looking for validation that the franchise model is successful. This is a great time to ask existing franchisees and the leadership team about ongoing corporate support, whether it’s marketing tools or training resources.
- What are the franchise’s plans for growth and long-term strategic goals?
It’s crucial to find out the brand’s potential growth plans for the coming years to make sure you align with the mission. For example, this may include expanding into new regions for smaller and mid-sized concepts. Even though it could mean saturating the market for larger national brands. Find out where the franchisor sees its system in five years, and what measures it plans to enact to get there. How will the company support your growth goals?
