What's up everyone? Welcome back to the Inside Scoop. I'm Jack Johnson, your host, your friendly franchise consultant, here to bring you all the inside scoop on what's happening in the world of franchising. And boy you know. Guys, here we are. We're closing in on Christmas. I think we're a week away from Christmas Eve. Today is December 17th, 2024. And the franchise market is humming as I look at my report and, by the way, for all of you out there who don't know, I'm a franchise consultant.
Speaker 1:My wife, jill and I own a company called the Franchise Insiders where we provide franchise consulting services, helping people to explore franchise ownership. We work with hundreds of different franchises and our role in this ecosystem is to help you find the franchise that's right for you, help introduce you to the good guys in franchising, to connect you to financing, to franchise attorneys. Oh, and we also do a little thing too. We have a franchise rebate program, very similar to how realtors rebate their commissions. We provide a franchise rebate when you buy a franchise through us. So if we introduce you to a franchise and you buy that franchise, you get a rebate of two to $10,000, depending upon the franchise, depending upon how many franchise units you do. So when you consider that our service is free and that's not an anomaly. You know, 99% of franchise consultants out there do not charge for their services because we receive a commission. We don't work for free and we receive a commission when we help someone become a franchise owner. That's how all franchise consultants work. There's a lot of really good franchise consultants out there. Some of you are probably working with them, but that's what Jill and I do. One of the things that makes us different is that we also are franchise owners. We own a franchise called Pink's Window Services and we have been the top revenue generators for the past two months amongst franchisees. So we know what it's like to be successful as franchise owners and that's kind of how we help coach you up when you're exploring franchise ownership. And the proof is in the pudding, because I just got word that our client, catherine, who owns a Soccer Stars franchise, we helped her become a Soccer Stars franchise owner back in early, maybe Q beginning yeah, beginning of Q2 2023. And then she opened later that year. Anyways, she won MVP for the whole franchise system and she had the highest revenue this year. So kudos to Catherine. So glad we could be a part of that franchise match. Okay, here's what I've got for you guys today. Like I said, the market's humming. I get my data from a company called FranServe. I am an affiliated franchise consultant with FranServe. Being a franchise consultant is a great thing too, by the way. You want my help exploring that. We can do that as well this week. Here are the franchises that sold Dumpstore Hallmark home care.
Speaker 1:Hallmark home care has got a really unique model Um and that it's it's. You don't you kind of cut out the um, the middleman on uh on Hallmark? It's different from the other home care franchises because it connects families directly with caregivers without the need for a middleman. Traditionally, when you're you own a home care company, you employ the caregivers as full-time W-2 employees. So this helps families save money while giving them more control over the care of their loved ones. So the benefit for families working with a Hallmark home care franchise is that they get to choose the caregiver they need based upon their unique requirements, and Hallmark home care does all the background checks and the interviews and the family becomes the employer, not the franchise, which gives them more flexibility and control and they get a lower cost For the franchise owner. Hallmark Home Care is a great business opportunity because it has low startup costs, few employees because the family employs the caregivers. Minimal overhead. Franchisees don't need to deal with lots of paperwork or regulations like other home care businesses, and instead they focus on connecting families with caregivers, all while enjoying strong profits. Plus, with a home-based business model and quick startup, franchisees can begin generating income within weeks. That's pretty cool. So why Hallmark Home Care? Lower investment, quick startup, no experience necessary, lower overhead costs, fewer employees, a growing, recession-resistant industry duh, you've heard me talk about home care a million times, so you know what the benefit here is. Let's just kind of go over the stats real quick. Franchise fee $59,500. We save you $2,000 to $10,000 on this franchise, but you got it. Text 305-71050 to get a free franchise consultation and to see what kind of rebate you can get. Royalties are 6%. Total investment $134,500. They want you to have a net worth of $200K. They've been around since 2013,. Franchised in 2022, and they've got 141 territories awarded $50K. Uh, but, but territories awarded 141 and they've got 55 franchisees, which tells me most franchisees have multiple locations. Um, they've got one corporate location. So hallmark home care really cool brand. Uh, okay, healthy you vending. We buy ugly houses. Uh, these are all the franchises that sold over the last week, by the way insulation commandos, naturals to go.
Speaker 1:Puddle pool services okay, I've been meaning to talk to you guys about this one. For go. Puddle pool services Okay, I've been meaning to talk to you guys about this one for a while. Puddle pool services keeps popping up. What does it mean? I don't know, but I see people are. You know, anytime I start to see people buying these franchises at an increased clip, I'm going to talk to you about it. So, puddle pool services, let's, let's dive in here.
Speaker 1:Puddle pools is a pool, spa and water feature maintenance company built for scale in the U? S and Canadian markets. Okay, so both U? S and Canada, pool, spa and water feature care is deemed an essential service, making puddles business model a weekly recurring revenue subscription model. I mean, if you have a pool, you know every week you got to have that pool guy come. I mean, my guy comes every single week and my pool is filthy. Seriously, my pool is filthy, filthy the day he leaves.
Speaker 1:There's what they say the high profit margins and low overhead, mixed with their proven business model, untouchable training methods and support, will knock your flip-flops off. Love that this executive model franchise has taken the seasonality out of the space and turned it into a year round recurring revenue, scalable machine, all run from your smartphone. See, I love that too, and I would say my Pinks franchise for what I do as an owner. Keep in mind, I'm not the GM of my Pinks. I employ a GM who's out there. He's managing the guys. They're at a work site today doing a big job, by, by the way, so I can do what I need to do on the financial side managing the business from my smartphone. So I love that. So this is one of those franchises. You guys, I see it happening.
Speaker 1:So anyone with a pool, spa or even fountains, um, family households, hoa communities, apartments, airbnbs, hotels, gyms, etc. These are clients and puddles. Marketing programs focus on both B2B and B2C out of the gates. I mean again, you know, I'd say most of these home services are B2B, b2c. That's something for a lot of you executives out there, and you guys make up the majority of my clients. You're used to a B2B environment. So you see some of these franchises and you're like dude, a pool company, a window company. These are B2B companies.
Speaker 1:My team today is out working on a very, very big job. In fact we were there yesterday too Big, big job. This one job makes up my week of the revenue. I would like to see my franchise hit with one client, one job that took two days. So keep that in mind. With these boring businesses they're typically B2B and B2Cs why puddle pool services, recurring revenue, subscription model, low investment with turnkey, mobile ownership model, in-house call center Love that. And marketing team? I mean again, just like with pinks. Pinks puts most of the, the consumer business on our uh, the, the, the estimates on our schedule. So I love to see these franchises that will help with the marketing. Here's who they're looking for Entrepreneurs, soon to be future entrepreneurs, with a passion or experience in home services, people who are driven to meet and exceed goals.
Speaker 1:I think that's exactly right. If you're going to be a franchise owner, you have to be goal-driven. You want that big number, right? I'm always always asking you know our pinks guys? And, by the way, as I weave in my pink stories here, it's not to sell you on pinks, it's to share kind of my perspective as a franchise owner. So I am texting you know Brandon from pinks? Always I'm asking him hey, you know, when you guys were X amount of months in where? Where were you revenue wise, versus where I am now? Now, he can't always answer that, but I want to know, right, I want to know. This is why I've been a top performing franchise consultant and a top performing franchisee and I know that sounds cocky. But, guys, I'm here to share my my like experience with you. It's because I'm focused on numbers. I want to know who the top gal or guy is and I want to beat that number right Franchising.
Speaker 1:For those of you out there who are thinking about this and you think you're just going to buy this business and it's going to be a nice thing, that you're just going to kind of run as a side hustle and make someone else do all the work, don't do that. You want to get into this and you want to win and you want to be special and you want to build a great business. The market's set up for you to do that. You're going to have low taxes. You're going to have a very business friendly administration, you guys, but you should want to be the winner here. You should want to be the guy that comes in and says, hey, jack's pink franchise is doing this. I can't wait to kick his ass. I want to do better. That's that's the mentality that you really want to have as a franchise owner. If you're more, if you're less competitive, stocks and real estate are great for you. So they're looking for strong communication skills.
Speaker 1:Puddle was founded in 2018. They started franchising in 22. They've got 22 franchises currently operating. They've got 20 international franchises that's cool and one corporate locations. So, guys, puddle Pool Services, if you're starting to think about a business in the new year, that's low investment franchise fee of $49,500,. We save you $2,000 to $10,000.
