Die Franchise-Expo 2023 in Frankfurt ist gerade vorbei. Eine schöne Show mit rund 100 Ausstellern und 2200 Besuchern. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit mit Martin Joksimovic für eine Podcast-Aufnahme zusammenzukommen. Er ist seit diesem Jahr als Nachfolger von Tom Portesy der neue President von MFV Expositions und somit der führende Kopf hinter allen Franchise-Shows des Unternehmens in den USA und international. Wir haben uns vor allem über die Unterschiede zwischen dem US-amerikanischen Franchisemarkt und dem deutschen Franchise-Markt unterhalten. Allein die Größe des Landes führt schon zu Unterschieden. Sehr interessant fand ich seine Erfahrungswerte, dass US-Franchisesysteme sich früher und akribischer auf eine anstehende Messe vorbereiten. In meinen Augen können wir uns an dieser Stelle etwas von den USA abschauen. Die Franchise-Expo in Frankfurt soll zukünftig gleich groß oder größer werden als die führenden europäischen Shows in Paris und London.

Today, we're live in the Podcast Zone at Franchise Expo South in Fort Lauderdale, FL! Working with MFV Expositions and The IFA, we're on a mission to find some innovative and diverse franchise concepts and find out what these entrepreneurs love about franchising! Joining us today:   MJ Moradi, Pharaoh Bill Tasillo, Spherion Elena Dolinski, HLFLC Tom Spadea, Spadea Lignana Sally Facinelli, Salty Dawg Andrew Prater, D-BAT   Thanks to our newest sponsor, Adplorer!

This week Tom Portesy, President and CEO of MFV Expos, makes a return appearance on Franchise Today.  Our discussion though will be about something other than Expos.  On this episode, Tom will be talking about MFV’s acquisition of the Best Franchisee of the World competitions, a series of national events culminating in an international event in Florence, Italy celebrating the best franchisees from around the world. How has franchising impacted their families, their futures, and their communities? Nominees submitted by their franchisors could win National Titles… or even Best Franchisee of the World. MFV Expositions is invested in highlighting the extraordinary people that are changing the franchising industry and changing the world.  Tune in to learn more about this amazing global competition and the U.S. Competition that precedes it.  The U.S. competition is now open for entries.     

Tom Portesy has been president of MFV Expositions for more than 18 years, and added CEO to his title in 2009. With more than 25 years of global sales and executive management experience, Tom oversees the team that produces the three leading franchise events in the U.S., and is active in many International franchise events operated by MFV Expositions or strategic partners. Working closely with the International Franchise Association and many franchise associations around the world, Tom has participated as a panelist and moderator in countless educational seminars and symposia. Previously, Tom owned an advertising and PR firm and was a founder and Group VP of an instant printing franchise. He has been married for over 33 years and has 4 children.   Key Takeaways:   [0:27] Today’s episode is brought to you by Franchise 5! The key to long-term success is through smart, strategic growth. To learn more about this program, head over to FranchiseEuphoria.com/Franchise5. [0:58] Our episode today features Tom Portesy, president and CEO of MFV Expositions. Tom leads his team in producing the premier franchise events in the U.S. [4:44] Before he was in expositions, Tom was involved with a printing franchise, a business that sold instant printing and advertising specialties. They quickly learned it was a duplicatable model and within a few years had 150 units in the U.S. [6:56] MFV is a trade show company based in New Jersey that produces four U.S. shows a year and numerous other shows internationally. [9:45] Expos are not just about shaking hands and making connections. They also showcase various speakers and host seminars with a variety of topics that cover all aspects of franchising. [11:25] The biggest misnomer that people think about franchising is that it’s all about food and becoming a millionaire. People would be shocked to know franchising touches every industry. [13:00] Just because something is considered the “hottest” franchise, it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s what you should want to buy into. [13:55] Becoming a franchisee is not necessarily for everybody. A franchisee is a certain type of entrepreneur who is ready to work hard but they want the proven system. [16:00] Franchisees can still have creative liberties, but you have to prove yourself to the franchisor before your ideas will be heard. [16:50] Not every business makes for a good franchise. A good franchise system offers a good product/service that can be delivered by nearly anyone. [20:45] A good franchisor will make working capital part of your investment. If they don’t – run. [22:10] The International Franchise Expo is coming up in New York this summer (May 31 – June 2). If you want to attend as a guest or have a booth, go to www.ifeinfo.com. [23:39] Additionally, IFE is conducting a contest where you could win up to $25,000 to start your own franchise, plus a free trip for two to attend the expo.

"Our business has morphed into attendees who have done research and are on step 3. They’ve cleared a number of different hurdles before they get to one of our franchise expos. They’ve done so much research, they’ve talked to franchisors, they’ve looked at some of the costs and industries, and are really in a different mindset by the time they attend an expo. They’re way more educated. It’s the biggest comment we hear time and time again, that the quality of the attendees at these shows is just off the charts. It’s so much different than it was 10 years ago." - Tom Portesy, CEO, MFV Expositions, when asked how the internet has changed how people today research franchise opportunities.
