Military Experience is a Great Match for Miracle Method Franchise Ownership

By

Many of our Miracle Method franchise owners haven’t had previous experience as business owners, however, the discipline and leadership skills learned in the military can parlay into running a successful business. That is the case with our St. Louis franchise owner, Terry Kavanaugh. Terry is a former design engineer and a retired U.S. Navy jet mechanic and was looking to invest in an opportunity with a solid history and a great support system. He learned about Miracle Method when searching the internet for business opportunities and decided to investigate the company’s concept in depth.

Terry believed there was a demand in St. Louis for refinishing bathtubs, countertops, and tile in both residential and commercial properties. Intrigued with the opportunity, he spent a lot of time talking to other Miracle Method franchisees before he decided to become a franchise owner. He says it was the support from the national office “that every franchise verified that led me to buy my Miracle Method franchise.” That support combined with Terry’s military experience has given him the skills necessary to build a successful Miracle Method franchise. Since opening his franchise in 2003, Terry’s franchise has seen tremendous growth. He plans to open a showroom this year and is on target to exceed last year’s sales.

The training, experience, and leadership skills one gains during military service are great preparation for owning a Miracle Method franchise, regardless of whether or not you have prior experience in owning a business. Additionally, Miracle Method is proud to honor our service men and women by discounting our franchise fee by 10 percent.

If you have served in our nation’s military and are looking for a fabulous business opportunity, owning a Miracle Method franchise could be the perfect match for you. Please visit our website for more information or contact us at 800-444-8827. We look forward to speaking with you!

Miracle Method Allows Franchise Owners to Run & Grow Their Businesses

Shawn Jessup, Miracle Method of Tempe

After spending several years working as an assistant store manager for Home Depot, Shawn Jessup was ready to take control of his future. He looked at eight to ten business opportunities and after friends shared their success as Miracle Method franchise owners in Portland, Oregon, Shawn was sold and decided to purchase his own Miracle Method Surface Refinishing franchise.

Shawn says “I wanted to be able to run and grow my own business, make my own decisions and offer a great product with outstanding customer service.” Because of his home improvement and management background, owning a Miracle Method franchise was a great match for him.

Even with the instability of the economy in recent years and especially when the housing market in Phoenix bottomed out, Shawn’s Tempe, Arizona franchise has shown excellent growth and profit. Both residential and commercial customers turn to Miracle Method to refinish bathtubs, countertops, and tile.

“My success validates why you should buy a Miracle Method franchise. The national office showed me how to succeed in the bad times, which will only make me better in the good times,” Shawn explains.

He adds that the opening of his Miracle Method showroom in 2008 has also contributed to his franchise’s success, noting that it helps set them apart from the competition, as well as helps him show his customers the high quality Miracle Method refinishing process.

For those looking into the ownership of a Miracle Method franchise, Shawn offers the following advice:

  1. Do it… go into business for yourself!
  2. Listen, learn and do not try to reinvent the wheel. Miracle Method has all the support you need.
  3. Have a great time and enjoy the benefits of working for yourself.

Miracle Method Franchise Owners See Success, Even in a Down Economy

By

As we have previously mentioned, Miracle Method is a recession-resistant business opportunity that many of our franchise owners can attest to, including Leo and Emily Sayles, owners of Miracle Method of Central Ohio.

Leo and Emily originally purchased a Surface Doctor franchise in 1999, and shortly thereafter, it was bought out by Miracle Method. “When Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, presented us with the opportunity to switch to his growing franchise system from Surface Doctor, we knew it was an opportunity that we could not pass up. Today, the amount of marketing and technical support that Miracle Method provides is invaluable. We feel we have the business model and market growth potential to help us continue growing our business,” Leo says.

Leo and Emily have seen great success over the past few years, even in the recent economic crisis. In fact, their franchise recorded its second consecutive million dollar year in 2011 and Leo and Emily see no limits ahead.

“When other businesses were complaining about the economy, we continued to grow. With Miracle Method’s technical, marketing and administrative support you can grow your business faster, with more profit, and stay well ahead of the competition. This business model works!” Leo added.

Corporate Support and Demand for Services Draws Couple to Miracle Method Franchise Ownership

By

Like many other Americans, David Dowdy has experienced the loss of a job. He worked as a senior corporate buyer for Circuit City until it closed its doors in 2009. His wife, Elizabeth, taught customer service at a nearby college, and after David lost his job, they decided to look into the opportunity of owning their own business.

With the help of a business broker, they began to look at the options available to them and researched ten franchise concepts. They attended four different Discovery Days and considered one serious job offer before they chose to start a Miracle Method franchise. The key factors that influenced their decision were:

  1. The overall franchisee satisfaction with the level of support received from the corporate office.
  2. The need in the community for the product and its ability to thrive in a time of economic recession.
  3. The national staff was genuinely dedicated to its franchisees.

In just two months after establishing their franchise, the Dowdys opened their first showroom. Less than two years later, they opened an even larger showroom. Elizabeth said “Our showroom legitimizes our business to the customer… it’s a huge asset in closing sales and I can’t imagine not having one.”

In a time where many small businesses struggle to survive, the Dowdys’ franchise proves Miracle Method’s recession resistance. They increased their sales by 41% in their second year, of which David said “We wanted a recession resistant business and we got it. We anticipate double digit growth again this year.”

The Dowdys offer the following advice for anyone looking to open their own franchise: “Ask tons of questions and move on if they stop answering. For every question we asked, Miracle Method responded quickly and accurately. The National Office continues to be very responsive to our needs.”

If you’re ready to own your own business, we invite you to visit the Miracle Method website to franchise ownership. We will be there for you every step of the way, just as we have been for the Dowdys and all of our other franchise owners. Call us today at 800-444-8827 to request info and get started.
