Common Characteristics of Successful Franchise Owners

Do you have what it takes to be a successful leader?

With so many benefits to becoming a franchise owner, many Americans are contemplating such an investment. These fresh-faced franchise owners either succeed or fail. What beginners often wonder is what do the successful and lucrative franchisees have that others do not? Franchise owners are business owners and entrepreneurs first and foremost, but many franchise owners have similar qualities that enable them to be successful.

Here are a few personality traits that successful franchise owners have.

Patience

With a franchise, success is not always immediate. A franchise owner needs to have the confidence of knowing that others have paved the way before him or her, and that success is entirely possible. Establishing a franchise requires a period of adjustment as new customers become exposed to a product and its local availability. The patient franchise owner is able to place his or her trust in the overall proven track record. 

Humility

Those who are generally comfortable with following someone else’s rules and have a strong desire to be in business for themselves do well in franchises. For those who generally like to create their own rules and haven’t ever toed the line are typically too independent to follow someone else’s rules. Good franchise owners have an essence of humility. They own up to their mistakes and support their teams by correcting errors.

Diligent

Any franchise owner is going to need the motivation and drive to work hard, especially in the first year of opening. Successful franchisees do what needs to be done to meet their goals, which sets a winning example for their employees, as inspiration is contagious.

Interpersonal Skills

Being a people person helps franchise owners to suit the needs of the customer. Franchise owners can never display a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude when it comes to their customers, and a certain level of empathy must be natural to the business owner. Even though you own one franchise location, to the customer, you are the company. A good franchise owner remembers that a customer’s goals and needs can be met if they are listened to and responded to appropriately.
