Critical Planning Tactics To Achieve Franchise SuccessIf you are looking for an opportunity to quickly jump-start your career, then buying a franchise is an excellent choice. Franchise opportunities are far less risky than starting your very own business, not to mention the benefits of following a proven business model, on-going franchise support, extensive training programs, top-notch marketing materials and operational assistance you’ll receive along the way. Consider these five critical planning tactics to achieve franchise success:

1. Follow the Franchise Model & Systems

Critical Planning Tactics To Achieve Franchise Success

Be careful not to steer away from the path, the business foundation instilled by the franchisor is proven ultimately for your success. The franchise model you choose to invest in will have taken the necessary steps to determine what type of strategies are working and what has failed. It’s important to not only follow the franchise model you have selected, but to trust its proven track record of success. In order to get the most out of the franchisor’s system, follow the guidelines set in place. When you find yourself following the path laid out by the franchisor, you’ll be more likely to hit the ground running!

2. Take Advantage of On-Going Training & Support

When you join a franchise, remember to fully utilize initial and on-going training programs for a smooth and successful start-up. Tools like online training videos, manuals and webinars are designed to help you build your business. The more consistent you remain with your training, the more successful you will become. Miracle Method, the nation’s largest professional kitchen and bath franchise continues to exceed the industry standard for on-going franchise support and accelerated training programs. As you build your business, don’t forget to take advantage of the tools, support and encouragement offered by the franchisor along every step of the way.

3. Network, Network!

Always take the opportunity to gain valuable insight and knowledge from the franchisor and experienced franchisees. Attending annual conventions, workshops and training is key to growing your business. As you become more acclimated, welcome new franchisees and lend advice when needed. When you take the extra step to reach out to new or existing franchisees from across the network, you may find that you might even learn about new strategies yourself.  Communication is key to solving day-to-day challenges and optimizing overall franchise performance.

4. Closing the Sale

One of the biggest factors that limits the success of a franchise is the lack of sales knowledge. If you find yourself struggling to close the sale, consider bringing on an additional team member to assist with these duties. Hiring employees as your business grows, will free up more of your time to run the operational side of the business. Hiring the right salesperson can be a difficult task, but once you get the right person on your team, you’ll open the door for opportunity and grow your business even more!

5. Consistent Marketing

When you join a franchise, you will gain access to a library of innovative promotional materials prepared by a team of marketing professionals at the Corporate Office. Beyond a proven marketing plan from the franchisor, it’s essential to be consistent with your marketing efforts. To operate your business effectively, be sure to market your product or service using multiple forms of advertising. In fact, most prospects need to see your ad at least ten times before picking up the phone to call you. Boost your brand!

Barbi Leo, Morning Radio Show Personality for KSAB-FM and co-host for Domingo Live TV Show visits Miracle Method Franchisee, Eddie Naro at the Home and Garden Show in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Beautiful Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Alternatives in Corpus Christi

“We can take your old, stained bathtub and make it look like new again. The nice thing about refinishing is you can not only change the color of your existing tile, but it seals all the grout lines, meaning no mold, no mildew and it’s easy to clean. You’re only out of your bathroom for a couple of days, it’s a fraction of the cost of replacement and it looks and feels beautiful,” said Eddie Naro, Owner of Miracle Method of Corpus Christi.

In addition to refinishing and repairing bathtubs, countertops, ceramic tile, showers and floors, Miracle Method of Corpus Christi also provides several bathing safety solutions. Modifications like grab bars, hand-held shower nozzles and a slip resistant surface allow the aging population or those with limited mobility to remain in their homes longer. By far the most popular safety feature is Miracle Method’s Easy Step®, a 24” wide by 9” tall step installed in the side of existing bathtubs to make a safe and easy to access walk-in shower without ever replacing the bathtub or tile.

“If you have a steel, cast iron, fiberglass, acrylic or cultured marble bathtub you can no longer use, we can easily convert it into a walk-in shower, which makes it much easier to step in and out of the tub without having to worry about slipping and falling. We can also install grab bars and a slip resistant surface,” Naro said.

Serving all of Corpus Christi for over 20 years, homeowners, hotels, hospitals and property managers are saving thousands of dollars over replacement costs by refinishing their dated and damaged bathtubs, shower pans, tile, sinks, kitchen countertops, and vanity tops to look and feel like new again.

Miracle Method Franchisee Swaps Corporate America for Entrepreneurship

By

After rising through the ranks of corporate America for the past 27 years, franchisee Jim Kenney is finally able to live out his lifelong dream of business ownership with Miracle Method, the leading professional kitchen and bathroom refinishing franchise. A third-generation handyman, Kenney’s father served as a union carpenter working in Massachusetts his entire life, ultimately passing his love of woodworking and craftsmanship to his son. Kenney Sr. wanted a more secure life for his son, and urged him to go to college rather than follow in his footsteps as a handyman.

Miracle Method Franchisee Swaps Corporate America for Entrepreneurship

Honoring his father’s wishes, Kenney earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing and economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst before going on to earn an MBA in marketing from Western New England University. Though Kenney found much success in his career by working as a product marketing manager for major corporations spanning nearly three decades, he never lost the desire to strike out on his own.

“I’ve been woodworking since I was about seven-years old, doing all sorts of stuff,” said Kenney. “I’ve always had a passion for carpentry because of my dad. My first job at 14 was helping my neighbors build decks all summer–we’d construct decks, install windows and roofs. That’s the money I used to put myself through college. I earned my degree and worked 27 years in the corporate world, but had always wanted to go back into something I was passionate about.”

When Kenney began considering different business ownership opportunities three years ago, he remembered an experience that he had with Miracle Method almost two decades ago. Trying to remodel his entire kitchen and bathroom by himself, Kenney found the project to be more overwhelming than he expected. That’s when an acquaintance suggested he call on Miracle Method to assist with the remodel. Initially skeptical, he was eventually won over by the phenomenal job the franchise did.

In 2016, Kenney saw that an existing Miracle Method business that had been open for 30 years was for sale. After speaking with the team and looking at all of his options, he purchased the business in December of 2016. Start-up costs for Miracle Method are low for prospective franchisees looking to join the system, with initial investments ranging from $82,125 to $136,850.

“We’re very excited that Jim has joined the Miracle Method team,” says John Tubiolo, Miracle Method’s Vice President of Franchise Sales and Development. “His years of business experience coupled with his lifelong affinity for working with his hands make him a great fit. We’re confident he will continue to grow the Miracle Method brand in Massachusetts and provide his community with quality work.”

Going forward, Kenney plans to make Miracle Method an integral part of his Massachusetts community. And while running his own business takes a lot of hard work, he says it’s absolutely worth it in the end.

“I wanted to secure my own destiny and that’s why I took this leap,” said Kenney. “I’m not getting any younger, and it’s getting harder and harder to find another job in corporate America. Now’s the time to make the move. I’ve been looking for a unique, recession-proof opportunity that allows me to use my hands. And after a career working for both small businesses and Fortune 500 corporations, Miracle Method is the perfect opportunity.”

4 Steps to Planning a Stress-Free Bathroom Makeover

By

Are you tired of looking at that hideous and outdated tile and color scheme every time you step into the bathroom? Are you ready to transform your bathroom but worried about the cost, mess, and hassle of replacement? Well, we have news for you today, and we know exactly how to make your bathroom makeover be simple and stress-free. If you follow these four tips, your bathroom makeover won’t be a complicated project that takes months on end to finish.

The Ultimate Guide: A Simple and Stress-Free Bathroom Makeover

Stress-Free Bathroom Makeover

#1: Plan Ahead

Whether you’re considering a large or small remodeling project for your bathroom, planning ahead is essential to making sure your home renovations run smoothly. The first step is to establish a concrete plan to clearly identify three things. Your needs, budget, and overall project goals. The next step is to explore all of your remodeling options. Take the initiative to visit showrooms in your local area for quick guided-tours of fresh and modern displays. This way you can not only envision the way you want your new bathroom look, but you can design it exactly how you want with professional aid!

Stress-Free Bathroom Makeover#2: Seek Affordability

Often times, a homeowner’s budget can place heavy constraints on home remodeling methods. Replacement remodels happen to be one of the most expensive renovations alternatives currently out on the market. However, with the affordability of surface refinishing, you never have to sacrifice style or quality to upgrade your home. In fact, when it comes to remodeling with Natural Accents® stone look finishes, customers can actually save up to 75% over the cost of granite or real stone. Miracle Method, the nation’s largest kitchen and bathroom refinishing company can transform any bathroom to sparkle with absolute beauty. Check out some of the transformations here!

Planning a Stress-Free Bathroom Makeover#3: Schedule Your Renovations

Scheduling your renovations can be a tricky task when the project timeline calls for any type of demolition or additional plumbing work in the home. If you’re looking for a timely solution, the refinishing process takes as little as two days or less to fully transform your existing bathroom vanities, showers, or bathtubs to look and feel like new again. Your existing surfaces can be repaired and refinished in place without ever tearing out the existing surface. The timeline for remodeling is significantly reduced when you decide to refinish your existing surfaces, and best of all there’s absolutely no mess involved!

Stress-Free Bathroom Makeover
#4: Work with a Professional

Home remodeling should always be handled by a professional company with licensed and insured technicians. When selecting a professional to handle your stress-free bathroom makeover, be sure to research company reviews, work experience in the industry, and service warranties. This way you know you have placed your bathroom makeover in the hands of a trusted professional. And remember, bathroom remodeling projects can be very expensive, especially if you have to go back and fix that disaster “do it yourself” project. You won’t regret using a professional service that delivers a well-designed makeover with high-quality, durable and beautiful results.
