What Questions Should You Ask During Your Franchise Discovery Day?

Regardless of the industry you’re looking to embark into, more often than not you’ll be invited to an event often called a Discovery Day. This is a key step in many companies’ steps to ownership and proves to be a valuable use of time for all of those involved. It is usually hosted at the corporate office of a franchise company.

Not only does it give potential franchisees the chance to meet everyone they will be working with if they move forward with a location, but it also gives them the owner to learn more about the franchise, daily operations, and benefits by asking questions.

What Questions Should I Ask During Discovery Day?

Once you get invited to your Discovery Day, you’ll be overwhelmed with joy and one step closer to owning a new business. To make the most out of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing’s Discovery Day, as well as any other Discovery Day you may attend, we broke down who’ll you’ll get acquainted with at your event and what questions you should consider asking to get the conversation going.

The Franchise Support Team

The main focus around Discovery Day is discovering the bountiful resources you get access to when you join forces with a specific franchise. One of these resources, which can truly help your business soar to new heights you never thought were possible, is the franchise support team.

At Benjamin Franklin’s Discovery Day, our team will be there, excited to finally meet you in person! This gives you a chance to meet and get to know the support team that will be behind your new business’s operations. As part of the Authority Brands family, the business support you will receive from us is backed by a time-tested system that helps franchisees capture their dreams.

Some of the questions you may want to consider asking include:

• What are the current long-term plans for this franchise?
• Does this franchise support multi-unit ownership as well?
• How would your leadership rank among your competitors?
• How many streams of revenue are available?

If you’re a current business owner in that market, there will probably be a couple more questions you’ll want to ask about converting your business. This could include ownership guidelines, the ability to grow, as well as asking for conversion success stories.

• What does your day-to-day schedule look like? How about weekly?
• What are the most rewarding components of the job?
