IAM2476 - Day 156: Starting Anew: Embrace Change

Gresham Harkless reflects on the challenges he's facing as a new franchise broker, particularly when candidates encounter unexpected financing obstacles.

 

Gresham shares that one of the toughest but most important parts of the process is recognizing when a candidate may be heading in the wrong direction and making the pivot early, even if it sets the timeline back by several weeks. 

 

He emphasizes how financing plays a central role in determining what brands are accessible, with more established brands often being easier to fund than emerging ones.

 

Gresham also mentions the importance of leaning on funding experts earlier in the process to provide clarity and avoid delays.
