Is Your Franchise Focusing on Veterans? It Should Be! | VetFran

As the leader of a franchise organization, you know a thing or two about finding the right fit when it comes to franchisees. Have you ever considered veterans and the skill set they offer?

Our team at VetFran wants to share a bit of perspective on the topic.

The Perfect Fit

It took a lot for you to finally get to the point in your business where you were ready to turn it into a franchise.

When you are on the hunt for the right franchisees, you want people who have a similar passion and work ethic as you. While you will be there to help, you also want people who are go-getters and already exhibit the skills needed to be successful.

Therefore, when choosing the right franchisees for your franchise, it is important not to overlook the veteran.

Why You Should Choose Veterans for Franchisees

There are a number of different reasons that veterans can make the perfect leader for a franchise unit or location.

For starters, their ability to be a part of a team is like no other.

You’re looking for team members to join your franchise who know how to work effectively with both leadership and those around them. Those who have been in the military have a well-established record in that regard, since they’re tasked with working with military leadership and their peers on a daily basis—in highly intense situations in many cases.

Franchisees often have to work long, hard hours to get their location up and running. And they’re tasked with providing leadership in many categories, from financial to everyday hiring and mentorship. To fill those roles, you need someone with a strong work ethic.

That’s also a quality our military veterans have. They were molded through intense situations, along with stringent training, to have a strong work ethic and the ability to take charge and complete tasks with little overarching supervision.

And finally, in any leadership role, you need a team member who can face challenges and chaos and remain relatively unruffled. Who better to fill that role than a military veteran who has faced much more than an agitated customer or product issue? They are accustomed to dealing with adversity and will be able to face day-to-day challenges in franchising with presence of mind and calm.
