Have you ever considered taking a leap of faith to make a career change that would allow you to do something you are passionate about, like home improvement? But then you stopped just short of taking that initial step because you realized you have no experience in home renovations?
Well, you would not be the first. One of the biggest misconceptions that individuals have when considering franchise ownership is that previous experience will be required. And that is simply not the case. Five Star Bath Solutions will be the first to attest to that as most of their franchise owners have no previous experience in home renovations, rather strong business skills.
Five Star Bath Solutions’ Ideal Candidate
According to Lynsie Oborn, Business Relationship Manager for Five Star Bath Solutions, the number one attribute they look for in prospective franchise owners is their ability to follow a system. With 62 locations across the United States and Canada, Five Star Bath Solutions has perfected its business model and knows what it takes to be a successful franchisee in their system. And it is not experience in the home services industry; it’s the ability and willingness to learn and follow their system.
Given that experience is not required and following the system is the key to success, what are some of the other attributes that Five Star Bath Solutions looks for in their ideal candidate? I asked Lynsie Oborn that very questions and she readily shared the following qualities:
- Follows the Five Star Bath Solution system
- Excellent communicator
- Customer-focused
- Multi-tasker
- Organized
- Driven for success with an entrepreneurial mindset.
- Comfortable managing a small team of 1-3 people, initially.
- Financially aware
In 2019, Daniel Martins began his search exploring franchise opportunities. He had spent 12 years in the restaurant industry and was ready for a more family-friendly occupation that would allow him to be home with his family on nights, weekends, and holidays. Daniel had no previous experience in the home improvement space yet recognized that the skillset he had acquired from his previous occupation would allow him to be a successful Five Star Bath franchisee, so he made the leap in 2020 and joined the Five Star Bath Solutions family.
