What type of business experience, education,<br />
and/or skills did you have prior to becoming a<br />
franchisee that you have found particularly<br />
helpful? I spent six years selling construction<br />
equipment, so I felt like It was a good fit for me<br />
and my past work experience. I’d say I owe my<br />
success to “doing the right thing.” Treating<br />
employees and customers with equal respect is<br />
how I continue to grow my business year after<br />
year. This is indicative of The Glass Guru’s culture<br />
franchise-wide.<br />
What was it about the franchise model and/or<br />
leadership that led you to purchase it? I wanted a<br />
job where I wasn’t at the mercy of an employer or<br />
anyone else. I didn’t feel like I had a trade that would<br />
translate into running my own small business, but<br />
when I spoke with the people at The Glass Guru<br />
headquarters, everything seemed to make sense.<br />
What do you like most about your job? I like<br />
getting out of the office and working with customers.<br />
I like being able to help people and fill a need.<br />

THRIVING<br />
BUSINESS<br />
It’s time to look into opening a Pizza Factory franchise and experience<br />
our fun, family-focused community and welcoming atmosphere.<br />
How did you fund your franchise? Did you<br />
receive any discounts/incentives? One of the<br />
reasons I was drawn to The Glass Guru franchise<br />
was its low startup cost. When purchasing the<br />
franchise, I was able to finance part through the<br />
franchise system and take out a small business<br />
loan. Through the immediate success of the<br />
business I was able to pay both off the same year.<br />
What advice do you have for prospective<br />
franchise buyers? Owning your own business<br />
isn’t for everyone, but if you’re willing to work, do<br />
what you say will do, be fair to everyone, whether<br />
it be your smallest customer, your largest<br />
customer, your vendors, and especially your<br />
employees, then The Glass Guru is a great<br />
business opportunity. I have no regrets with<br />
starting The Glass Guru of Baton Rouge. It is one of<br />
the best business decisions I have made and I look<br />
forward to many more years of success!<br />
