This month’s FOM is again one that I personally use. This concept offers a quick ROI and strong growth and scalability while still providing the work-life balance you desire. Enjoying the hours you work and the people you work with is what makes life more enjoyable. This is why MaidPro considers themselves Franchise Friendly. And they must be doing something right because they were just ranked Best in Category in the Cleaning and Maintenance sector in franchisee satisfaction, and 3rd overall in all categories using the same measure. This is out of more than 30,000 franchisees from hundreds of different brands surveyed by Franchise Business Review on how pleased they were with their franchise systems. In fact, they have been a top 50 FBR franchise for over a decade!
More Accolades:
MaidPro was ranked #6 Best Franchise to Own by Forbes Magazine in 2018. MaidPro is currently rated top in support, satisfaction, systems, software (and more) by the Franchise Business Review.
This is because MaidPro offers state-of-the-art software, creative marketing, established brand-identity, and proven business strategy. They are constantly evolving to instill the best practices for the rapidly growing industry. MaidPro offers you low start-up costs, manageable hours and recurring revenue. Along with 24/7 support, you will never have a required marketing spend or “weekly” royalty fees. With over 200 territories sold and growing rapidly, they are definitely “cooking on all burners”. MaidPro is also a big proponent of utilizing their community. They organize regular franchisee meet-ups and phone calls (outside of their regular conventions), called Peer Performance Groups, based on location, revenue, and office size, to encourage like-sized and minded offices to share and help each other grow. The CEO, President, and COO have committed to being in attendance as well!
