BONUS MATERIAL
WHY I LOVE MY FRANCHISE
What I love most about my job is the flexibility and variety. I can set my own schedule and my work tasks can range from photographing sports teams, to presenting TSS benefits to a prospective school board, to hiring and training new staff. When you run your own business, you certainly “wear many hats”. That variety suits me. The support from the franchise network and the headquarters staff is truly superb! I also enjoy knowing that there is no income limit for the work I do. From a financial standpoint, I've always liked knowing that eventually I could sell my territory and allow a new owner to enjoy the benefits of this franchise and to continue successfully serving my customers.
