What makes a successful franchise owner? In this episode of Franchising 101, host Tim Parmeter and guest Scott Hartsfield, chief development officer of Focal Point Business Coaching, explore the importance of intangible traits in franchise ownership. While technical skills and business acumen are important, having the right traits can be the defining factor in a franchisee's success.
