Colton shares what type of experience a franchise owner needs: "Our early successful franchisees that are up and rolling and having sales early on like Austin, Texas, Boise, Salt Lake City, are starting to crush it similar to what we've been doing. None of them have construction backgrounds, but they do have sales backgrounds, and they can sell to customers because this product is anywhere from $90,000 to $400,000. So you're selling something other than a T-shirt or a hamburger, right? It's an expensive product; you must convince people to move forward. So we're excited about people who don't have much construction experience because we've laid out the system from A to Z." Join us in this informative and inspiring episode as we explore the fascinating world of Anchored Tiny Homes, offering an affordable housing solution and an enticing franchise opportunity. Whether intrigued by the tiny living movement or considering a franchise investment, this episode is a must-listen. Thank you for tuning in to "Franchise Life."
