Originally aired Feb 24, 2022

If you already own a business or have a busy career and think there’s no way you have the bandwidth to own your own franchise, too, then think again. Time-strapped entrepreneurs and other professionals are finding success in franchising thanks to the semi-absentee franchise model.
 
Never heard of it? Not to worry. Join us for a free webinar, Why More People are Becoming Franchisees Thanks to the Semi-Absentee Model, presented by Salons by JC and Entrepreneur.

During this insightful conversation, we’ll hear from Salons by JC CEO president Steve Griffey who will provide the corporate perspective on franchising, as well franchisee Cyndi Scher who will share her real-world perspectives. Cyndi opened her first Salons by JC store in the Miami area in 2015. Today, she has three locations with her husband, Peter, and plans to open nine more over the next 15 years.
 
Questions we’ll answer during the webinar include:
  • What is a semi-absentee business model?
  • How are qualifications for this business model opening the door for more transitioning entrepreneurs and corporate executives?
  • Why is Salon Suites franchising one of the fastest growing semi-absentee opportunities in the industry today?
  • How does Salon Suites work and why are margins so much better than most traditional franchise models?
  • Why did Cyndi transition from the quick-service restaurant franchise model to a Semi-Absentee Salon Suite Franchise?
