http://www.FranchiseWealthAcademy.com Best Franchise Turnaround Expert Palo Alto California Interview 888-481-3726 A faculty of experienced professionals focused on the creation and protection of FRANCHISEE wealth. Stu Levin, Founder and Director 'I founded the Franchise Wealth Academy to help the FRANCHISEE succeed. I saw a need to provide more resources and help to franchisees who, for whatever reasons, are not achieving the profits and results they expected.' Our focus is on the franchisee. The Franchise Wealth Academy is, in many ways, an extension of myself. I have 'been there, done that' as far as both corporate life and franchise ownership are concerned. I went through the process of yearning for something beyond corporate life. I was an Operations Director in a $10 Billion global Fortune 100 company. In a newly public company, I was was the VP Service. I also ran Global Insurance Industry Marketing in a Fortune 500 corporation, where I grew sales in my industry from $5 to $30 Million per year. So, I have seen it all. I know what is involved in running an efficient operation and what it takes to grow sales. I decided to move out of corporate America and buy a franchise. I researched franchises, got financing for both the business and the real estate, and then operated the franchise business.I was able to increase sales by 75% in 18 months. A few years later, I "flipped" my franchise and property portfolio for almost $1 Million more than I paid for it. Franchising was good to me, but I had many challenges. I couldn't get production where it needed to be. Pricing I needed on the West Coast seemed out of whack with the franchise's East Coast based pricing model. I couldn't get the field support person to show up to help me sort through business issues. My needs were beyond the level of support that HQ was able to provide. Fortunately, I persevered and I worked things out. Looking back, I see now that many franchises do not have the support staff to provide the individualized support many franchisees need. In all fairness, a franchisee may need more support than a franchise could reasonably plan to offer. However, the franchise may not acknowledge this, as that may put the franchise in a difficult legal position regarding providing enough support to meet its obligations. In actuality, most franchise agreements only commit to a week or so of initial training. After that, support is 'at the discretion' of the franchise. Well, if you aren't making enough to pay your bills, support your family, get any free time, or build any equity, that is a big deal! That's what inspired me to create the Academy. To help the franchisee get the information he or she needs to decide what is the most profitable thing to do in any situation. The vision and approach of the Franchise Wealth Academy has been to: Provide current franchisees with high value information through courses, workshops and services to fill the gap between the support you've got from your employees and franchise, and whatever you need to turn around your franchise investment and make it into the 'franchise money machine' you expected when you bought it in the first place".
