How much business support do you get from your franchisor?

Your franchise reflects you

Did you know that 85% of all companies in the UK with over £1m turnover use psychometric assessments to recruit their staff? This figure is also matched by franchisors selecting their franchisees.

More recently as the psychometric assessment market grows more applications of them become more commonplace. Examples of these are for training needs analysis, coaching, personal development, succession planning, team working and improved communications with customers, suppliers, franchises etc. Most interestingly of all, studies shown that a company closely reflects the 'personality' of its owner or CEO.

In franchise terms, this means that the more the franchisee is a Driver (a proactive introvert) for example, then the style of that franchise and the staff working there are more likely to be driven and have very defined goals. Whatever the personality type of the franchisee this will reflect in their style, the staff they select and the way they are motivated to achieve their goals.

Every personality type has its up and its down sides. If you understand what yours are, use the positives to achieve your own goals in your franchise.

Firstly it is very essential to select the correct franchise for you. The business model you select should reflect you as you will be working and manging within that model on a regular basis.
