97-79 Points: A Prime Candidate:
Congratulations! If you have answered the quiz questions frankly and received
a score in this range, your personality, traits, attitude, experience
and temperament are good matches with the attributes many franchisers
say are found in their most successful franchisees. You likely have a
well-defined desire to learn and a willingness to follow directions in
the quest of your own success. If you are financially able to do so, I
strongly suggest that you pursue becoming a franchisee.
79-50 Points: A Potential Candidate:
Many of your traits are close to those found in top franchisee candidates;
however, you may not be completely committed to the concept of running
a franchised outlet of someone else's business. Although you may be interested
in becoming a franchisee, your quiz answers differ from those of more
"traditional" candidates; perhaps you have a strong streak of
independence or are more comfortable giving directions than taking them.
If you can ascertain where you differ from the "model" franchisee--by
reading the book How to Buy and Manage a Franchise--you may be able to
determine if these are fundamental differences or merely slight discrepancies.
If the latter is true, you might be a good franchisee candidate.
50-0: A Questionable Candidate.
A low score on this test might indicate that you would be more comfortable
and successful as an independent business owner or a salaried employee.
You may be more independent and have a stronger business background than
most franchisees. Rather than trying to squeeze your individual talents
into a field you may not be suited, you should probably seek other opportunities.
If you still feel strongly committed to becoming a franchisee, examine
how your test responses differ from the suggested answers. This can uncover
areas in your personality or background that you need to reassess to improve
your chances of becoming a successful franchisee. You may want to take
the entrepreneur's quiz which is on this home page under--How to Start,
Finance, and Manage your own Small Business.
