Ideal Candidate
We expect there to be 3 hats in the business:
- Owner Hat - This is going to be responsible for daily team management, setting & reviewing operational and financial KPIs, engaging with the Home Office Support Team, Vendors, and key relationships in the marketplace.
- Production Hat - This is going to be responsible for producing jobs by managing materials, subcontractors and technicians on each job during the day.
- Sales Hat - This is going to be responsible for running daily sales appointments for residential and commercial customers, doing estimates, and booking sales.
The Franchisee who is an owner-operator is going to most likely wear 2 hats. It is up to them decide if they will do sales or production, and they will need to hire out the other. So, they will start with one key employee.
An executive model owner will hire both roles from the beginning, and scale those teams.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
Our ideal candidate is someone who is well capitalized and interested in building a sizable business. Homefront brands and Roof Scientist aspire to have a lesser number of LARGER Franchise Partners.
We are very keen on our Franchise Partners having business development and sales experience - Preferentially, they are skilled at leading sales teams.
