Franchise Sidekick

Role Description As a Franchise Specialist, you’ll serve as the very first touchpoint for individuals exploring franchise ownership. Your role is structured, consultative, and highly relational.

This is not a closing role. It’s a professional guidance role rooted in active listening, emotional intelligence, and the ability to lead someone through an important decision-making process with calm confidence. You’ll ensure clients are qualified for the Sidekick process, normalize financial conversations, handle early questions or objections with empathy, and ultimately schedule them for an Advisor Call — the next step in their journey.
