Common Traits of a Successful Franchise Owner

December 19, 2014 By miraclemethod

So you’re ready to cultivate your entrepreneurial spirit—gain control over your destiny, challenge yourself, and become your own boss. Owning a franchise might just be for you.

Entrepreneurs are drawn to Miracle Method for many reasons—like financial stability, brand recognition, proven business model, low investment costs. And Miracle Method owners have been named among the most satisfied franchisees in the nation.

But succeeding as a franchise owner requires more than a good reputation and business plan. Research shows that successful franchisees generally share the following common traits:

Strong Management Skills. A successful franchise relies on strong, stable management. You’ll need to hire the best people and delegate responsibility as the business grows.
Love of Learning. An open mind and a willingness to take advantage of a support network are profoundly important to continually improving the operations and profitability of a franchise.
Ability to Multitask. Running a business requires wearing many hats. You should be as comfortable behind a conference table with colleagues as you are in the trenches with employees.
Sales Experience. You must always approach sales as an opportunity to provide a quality, cost-effective solution for your clients’ problems.
Competitive Spirit. A natural competitive drive will motivate you to set goals and achieve them. Healthy competition will also inspire your employees to excel.

Do these characteristics sound uncannily familiar? If so, it might be time to become your own boss. Investing in a franchise may be a very smart career move for you.

How to Run a Successful Miracle Method Franchise

Follow these tips to run a successful franchise with Miracle Method.

Choosing the right franchise is fundamental to your success as a business owner. When you enter into a partnership with Miracle Method, for example, you get access to our proven recipe for success—a solid business model that is continuously being tested, tweaked, and perfected. At your disposal is a rich portfolio of tools related to every aspect of your business.

While you should take advantage of all the resources your franchise has to offer you, we at Miracle Method have found also that the following basic business practices are essential to the success of any franchise:

Create a business plan. While the corporate division may have a universal business plan, each geographical market is unique. Create a solid business plan that reflects your market’s needs and then stick to it.
Follow the system. You were drawn to your franchise for a reason – it was a great business model and is successful in other locations. Follow the system of your franchise to capitalize on others’ experiences and wisdom.
Advertise, Advertise, Advertise! Never cut your marketing expenses. Getting your name and brand out into the public is essential for driving new leads.
Customer service. Superior customer service is the key to repeat customers and solid referrals. Don’t be afraid to ask for referrals from satisfied customers.
Hire quality employees. Perform due diligence to make sure you’re hiring great employees, then provide a positive and rewarding professional atmosphere to retain them.

Miracle Method provides on-going training for franchisees and technicians

October 14, 2012 By miraclemethod

To provide the best kitchen and bath surface refinishing for our residential and commercial customers, Miracle Method conducts exclusive continuing education workshops for franchisees and their technicians. This continuing education is a big part of why Miracle Method is the nation’s Number 1 surface refinishing company.

Hands-on training is always a part of Miracle Method training sessions.

Chuck Pistor, President of Miracle Method, said “These workshops not only add to the technical ability of our franchisees and their technicians, but also help maintain the gap between ourselves and our competitors. No one else in the surface refinishing industry offers continuing education programs.”

We present three annual workshops, each of which covers the latest techniques and developments in the surface refinishing of bathtubs, tile, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble, and laminate bathroom and kitchen surfaces. Additionally, we’re also introducing an exclusive application system for our Natural Accents® stone-look finish, which makes the refinished surface look even more like natural stone. The first two workshops were held in Cleveland, OH and Sacramento, CA in September and the final 2012 workshop was held October 5-7 in Corpus Christi, TX.

“The workshops were a tremendous success,” according to Pistor. “The response from our franchisees to our new products and techniques was outstanding and our customers will be able to take advantage of new refinishing options.” When refinishing is completed by a trained Miracle Method technician, customers can rest assured that they have invested in a quality service.

To learn more about the training our franchisees and technicians complete, check out this online press release. To learn more about our refinishing services, please visit the Miracle Method website.

Do you want to build a business instead of just having a job?

August 31, 2011 By miraclemethod

Are you tired of going in to work every day wishing you were somewhere else? Are you sick of simply having a job with no future? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may want to consider owning a Miracle Method franchise. With Miracle Method, you’ll have the opportunity to grow and manage a business rather than just have a job. As a business owner, you’ll even be able to set your own schedule.

The start-up time from when you sign your Franchise Agreement to actually opening for business is about 45-60 days. From providing you with checklists, critical path schedules, and a marketing plan all before you even start training, to providing high quality training and a myriad of support, Miracle Method will be behind you every step of the way.

In order to start a business, you have to know how the processes work, right? Experienced Miracle Method professionals conduct 15 days of training demonstrating just that. Ten of those days will be hands-on technical training in how surface refinishing works and how you’ll be able to deliver superior quality refinishing that will distinguish you from your competitors. The other five days will be dedicated to sales, marketing, advertising and administrative training to ensure that you have all the tools you need to properly manage and grow your business.

In spite of limited new construction and major remodeling, our business remains strong as people are willing to update their baths and kitchens as long as they are receiving high quality at a good value.
