She also serves as Area Representative for Romeo's Pizza, a franchise poised to expand across the US. As Founder of Elite Hire Consulting, Joanna has placed over 100 mid-, senior-, and executive-level professionals within the real estate industry. In this episode… Have you ever considered becoming a franchisee in a national chain? How will you decide on an industry? Will it be a restaurant, retail outlet, or something else? Joanna Gossett and her husband are franchisees for brands in three different industries: Romeo's Pizza, AT&T, and Anytime Fitness. According to Joanna, each requires different levels of investment from the franchisee. She says their fitness club members have key fobs and can come and go as they please, allowing the owners to focus on other things. For the pizza restaurant, Joanna has recruited and hired an experienced general manager to attract and keep quality employees in an industry notorious for high turnover. The AT&T store is very different, with all team members being experienced, career-oriented professionals. On this episode of the Top Business Leaders Show, Rise25's Chad Franzen chats with Joanna Gossett, a franchisee with AT&T, Romeo's Pizza, and Anytime Fitness, Founder of Elite Recruiting, and Partner and Property Manager at Gossett Homes.

Is it better to run a business alone or with a partner? Of course, there are pros and cons to both. However, partnerships certainly offer fantastic benefits. Take Alex Yeater, for example. He is an everbowl Area Representative who has partnered with people to build something bigger. Alex is an Area Representative with everbowl in the Midwest, South, and Southeast. He and his wife of almost 20 years, Kelli, have four sons between the ages of 18 and 5. Before everbowl, Alex and his business partner Mitch grew a Wireless Zone franchise from 2 stores to 32 before exiting in 2021. In 2022, Alex and Mitch partnered with Drew Brees to form EB Masters, one of the largest Area Representative companies in the US. By forming partnerships, major franchise investors can tap into the existing expertise of owners and operators, adopt proven best practices, and expand into new markets by leveraging their resources and complementing each other's skill sets. But where can you find people who share your passion? How do you form genuine connections and build partnerships? Alex and Erik share valuable insights into this topic, so make sure to catch this episode! “Long-term partnerships, they're like marriages, man.
