What We Are Looking For
Each step in our process has been carefully planned to assure that we select the right candidate. We are not selling franchises, but rather, trying to award a franchise to the right partner. If you feel that you would meet the challenge of an industry in which profit can be obtained by truly caring for your fellow human being, then SILVER CROSS may be for you! However, if you are a lone wolf who wants to do it your own way, or an investor, a SILVER CROSS
franchise would not be the business for you since we are looking for hands-on-people who are willing to follow our system.
The first step is to call Deborah Baker at 1-800-572-9310. She will ask you some questions in order to get to know you, as well as, answer any questions that you may have about SILVER CROSS. This first contact is extremely important to us. We see your attitude to us as a reflection of how you will treat the client. Your attitude is absolutely key in our decision to proceed to the next step in the process.
Remember. You will be dealing, on a daily basis, with disabled or aged folks. Each one has a story to tell about their current or former situation in life. You must be able to listen attentively, look each person in the eye every day, and convey a sense of empathy to him or her. In order to provide them with what they need, they must be convinced that you are sincere and that you truly care about their need.
In judging the potential success of a franchisee partner, we look for the following:
1. A proactive sales ability. A genuinely pleasant person who engages people within the first 30 seconds of meeting them.
2. A strong work ethic, with enough energy to handle 12 hour days and a willingness to work six days a week for the first year. Multitasking strengths are required.
3. A determination to succeed, along with the willingness to follow our system blindly.
4. An empathetic approach.
5. A strong family support.
6. The financial ability to make his / her business work.
7. Good Health.
8. Living in the business’s area.
