Tim shares practical insights to help you identify the kind of staffing model that best suits your strengths, leadership style, and long-term goals.🧠 Key Takeaways:Top 3 Franchise Fit Factors: A refresher on what matters most—your role, the people, and the franchisor.Types of Staff:Salespeople – Often owner-led in service-based models, but scalable.Skilled Labor – Licensed professionals like electricians and stylists.Unskilled Labor – Entry-level roles with room for internal training and growth.Subcontractors – The wildcard: why they can be both a growth hack and a hidden gem.Leadership > Labor: Why high turnover might say more about leadership than labor availability.Personal Fit is Key: Matching labor models to your preferences, not just what looks good on paper.📅 Coming Up Next Week:We’re continuing the staffing conversation with a closer look at how franchisors support franchisees in managing their teams—what to expect, what’s up to you, and how support systems can vary.📺 Check out FranCoach's TV show, the Franchising 360 Show, Fridays 8pm EST/5pm PST on the Biz TV Network www.biztv.com 🔗 Resources & MentionsVisit FranCoach.net for free franchise guidance and to book a consultation.Check out Tim’s new book: "Becoming a Franchise Owner" – Now available on Amazon.Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.Leave us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review if you enjoyed the episode—we appreciate your support!Connect on Social Media: Find FranCoach on all major platforms for tips, updates, and new episodes.Instagram @yourfrancoach https://www.instagram.com/yourfrancoach/ and @franchising101podcast https://www.instagram.com/franchising101podcast/ Twitter: @FranCoach4U https://twitter.com/FranCoach4U Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/francoach4u/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@francoach4u ⭐ INTERESTED IN FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP? Schedule a call with one of our coaches today!
