InXpress is a business-to-business, home based<br />
franchise in the global shipping and logistics<br />
industry. InXpress franchisees are consultative<br />
salespeople who call on small-to-medium sized<br />
businesses to save them time and money on their<br />
shipping/freight/import/export needs. As a global<br />
company, we earn the massive discounts and<br />
increased service through cooperative buying<br />
that bundles the revenues of these small<br />
businesses together. InXpress franchisees<br />
generate revenue on each shipment sent by their<br />
customers, building a strong long-term residual<br />
income. The collective nature of the franchise<br />
fosters a true collaborative effort among InXpress<br />
franchisees and promotes our GREAT culture.<br />

Portland and Vancouver<br />
Franchise owner since 2016<br />
FEATURED<br />
Franchisee<br />
What was it about the franchise that led you<br />
to purchase it?<br />
Ultimately, it was the ability to impact individual<br />
lives and give back to the community while still<br />
having the freedom and flexibility to control my<br />
schedule.<br />
The focus on sustainability was key for me.<br />
By being able to recycle, repurpose, and reuse<br />
the items we pick up from junk removal jobs,<br />
it makes me feel like I’m doing something good.<br />
Most importantly, it’s something I believe in.<br />
I also appreciate that Junk King is a service<br />
model that allows me to set my hours. I’m able<br />
to have dinner at home and spend quality time<br />
with my family.<br />
What advice do you have for prospective<br />
franchise buyers?<br />
My biggest piece of advice is to make sure you<br />
take the time to discuss the opportunity with<br />
a lot of successful franchisees within the system<br />
so that you can learn from them. Climbing on<br />
he shoulders of those who came before you<br />
will start you off on the right path.<br />
Also, be prepared to work hard. There are many<br />
benefits to joining a franchise system, but you<br />
will only get out of it what you put in. Like with<br />
any business, there will be challenges that will<br />
help you grow as a person and business owner.<br />
