Are franchise brokers a secret weapon to successful business ownership, or are they an unnecessary middleman?
When Sabrina Wall entered the franchise space and worked with a franchise broker she had a lackluster experience which she turned into an opportunity to create a better franchise broker system for everyone.
Today, we dive deep into what exactly a franchise broker does, the importance of maintaining ethics and educating clients, and how the Franchise Brokers Association came to be and spoiler alert it involves some serious networking and a big vision for reducing duplication and creating a community.
Sabrina Wall is the CEO of the Franchise Broker’s Association and the Franchise Training Institute. Sabrina leads a team of nearly 1,000 franchise professional members who support ethical, long-term franchising by focusing on education and research tools to assess franchise brands for the person seeking to join the system.
