Hi everybody,

Matt has struck again with another awesome interview with the president of a successful franchise system. John Rotche, the President and Founder of Ductz Indoor Air Quality Professionals was kind enough to lend us some of his time this week. The two have a great chat about some of the surprising opportunities Ductz owners have, how it runs a lot like a football team and something about a trip to Germany. You’ll have to tune in for the details! We love to hear interviews that are so revealing like this because, like Matt mentions in the interview, you won’t find this information on any brochure out there. John dose an excellent job of giving us the inside scoop all about being a Ductz franchisee, so we hope you enjoy.

All of the information–mp3, pdf of the transcription and the transcription itself–is below the “read more” link.

Until next time,
Amy

Hello everyone,

We have been lucky enough to get yet another interview under our “podcast” belt. Earlier, Matt interviewed the president of the extremely successful franchise system, Molly Maid. He and Kristi had some great conversation about the rewards of being a Molly Maid franchisee, from the day-to-day business operations to how it can touch your life in a more personal way.

Hello everyone,

I have not been the only one doing podcast interviews around here. The editor of this blog, Matt Biskup, has also been talking to some franchisors. Earlier, Matt talked with Todd Recknagle, President of the Mr. Handyman franchise system. They talked on some very interesting points, including the new face of Mr. Handyman — the man who’s famous for the line “I don’t think so, Tim.”

Happy Wednesday, everyone.

I was happy to have the opportunity last week to interview another franchisee. This time, I got a hold of Dave Poole with the Molly Maid franchise system. He was gracious to share his story with us about how he and his wife got involved in franchising and how they’re doing now.

Antonio Allen had been working in the snack food industry for 15 years when he decided to go into business for himself. Now a Credit Dispute Pro licensee, he’s happy with his daily routine.

I got a hold of Antonio for a short interview about why he chose CreditDisputePro, where he went from there and how he considered family values before signing papers.

Hi everyone.

Of course, I’ve been spending some time continuing my series of podcasts with franchisors and company executives about their concepts.

Earlier this week I spoke with Allan Young who is the CEO of Shelf Genie. We had a nice talk about his concept and what opportunities a franchisee has within the company.

Hello everybody.

I am very gracious to have conducted an interview with a Credit Dispute Pro. Nicole in California and I had a wonderful conversation this week about her experience with the parent company, Credit Dispute Pro. This is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to take advantage of what Nicole calls an unfortunate situation for Americans — the economy’s poor condition. Nicole and other licensees like her are able to help clients by repairing and restoring haunting credit reports.

Good evening,

I was able to have a conversation today with Chad Walker from FiltaFry, a franchise opportunity that offers franchise agreements for deep frying filtration maintenance.

This series of franchisor interviews has been extremely informational and has given serious insight into what goes on in corporate offices once you express interest into opening a franchise. But I also want to get the other side, and talk to a few franchise owners, or people who are currently operating business opportunities. Send me your ideas for what you want to know about The Day in the Life of a Franchisee.

Nevertheless, all of the podcast materials are behind the “read more” cut. Thanks for tuning in!

Until next time,
Amy

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I have been so lucky lately to participate in some really informative interviews with franchisors. This is the second interview so far. Stay tuned, though, because more is to come!

This particular podcast is with Bob Andrews from BioAxxis, a company that distributes licenses to sell biometric locks — locks that can be opened with a scan of your fingerprint. Everything is behind the cut, as usual with my podcast posts.

Please enjoy! And I urge you to contact me with any questions that you want to hear answered! My email is amy@franchiseopportunities.com.
