What we expect from you as a franchise entrepreneur
It doesn’t matter to us what kind of work background you have. You can be new to the industry or a seasoned pro. If you follow our concept, you are sure to succeed. However, certain character traits help in entrepreneurship. The desire to succeed, a sense of purpose and a focus on results are key qualities in both sales work and entrepreneurship. We also value teamwork and helping others. You can often achieve more as a team than alone. Straightforwardness and clear communication with customers and your own team reduces the risk of being misunderstood. As long as you remember humour and the fact that you don’t have to take everything so seriously, you’ll definitely be fine.
Make an action plan
Before you start, it’s a good idea to make an action plan, we’ll help you with it. The plan should open up the area’s housing market and what kind of position Habita would have in the area. Who would be your customers, what is your budget and where do you get your listings. We can think about all of these questions together.
