Lime Painting awards a two license deal with the help of an IFPG
Consultant.
This franchisee and his family split their time between Houston,
Texas and Beirut, Lebanon due to his past corporate career and his
current consulting business. He spent 29 years in the corporate
world, all over the world, working for a technical instrumentation
company. His background is in engineering but as he grew with his
company, he also grew his professionally into roles in sales,
marketing, and upper management.
After retiring from his job, he started his own consulting
business working again with customers all over the globe, however,
COVID hit his very young business pretty hard and he wanted to look
for something that he could do in the US to be closer to his son in
Houston.
After he met the IFPG Consultant they started talking, the
Consultant knew that he would be a great fit for a service based
franchise given his technical background and engineering mindset.
She introduced him to a few great brands and he started the
discovery process.
We met with the client for the introduction and they talked so
much that the intro went for two days. He was quick to see that
LIME's model was well thought out, easy to replicate, and in a
market segment that would give him some recession resistance. Soon
after the introduction, the explosion that rocked Beirut also
affected his family. Their home was hit with the shock wave causing
damage and his wife suffered minor injuries as a result of the
explosion. Through all of that, his resolve was strong and he never
missed a meeting or a phone call. In the end, he wanted to be first
in the market with a new brand in a segment that was COVID
resistant and settled on two territories in the Houston area.
Nick (of REP'M Group), after several hours of back and forth
with the potential franchisee, the legal team, and the IFPG
Consultant's team was able to get the deal closed.
"We are so happy to have him as a franchisee and look forward to
growing with him well into the future. Great teamwork too making
this one happen." said Ashley Cross of REP'M Group "Your
consultants have been phenomenal to work with in LIME Painting's
growth!"
Congratulations to ALL on a job well done!
