🎙️ Episode 244 - In this week’s episode of Franchising 101, host Tim Parmeter takes a deep dive into one of the most critical—and often intimidating—aspects of franchise ownership: labor. Whether you're wondering if you can run a franchise solo, trying to decide between skilled or unskilled labor, or curious about working with subcontractors, this episode unpacks the pros, cons, and common misconceptions around building a team. Tim shares practical insights to help you identify the kind of staffing model that best suits your strengths, leadership style, and long-term goals.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

  • Top 3 Franchise Fit Factors: A refresher on what matters most—your role, the people, and the franchisor.

  • Types of Staff:

    • Salespeople – Often owner-led in service-based models, but scalable.

    • Skilled Labor – Licensed professionals like electricians and stylists.

    • Unskilled Labor – Entry-level roles with room for internal training and growth.

  • Subcontractors – The wildcard: why they can be both a growth hack and a hidden gem.

  • Leadership > Labor: Why high turnover might say more about leadership than labor availability.

  • Personal Fit is Key: Matching labor models to your preferences, not just what looks good on paper.

📅 Coming Up Next Week:

We’re continuing the staffing conversation with a closer look at how franchisors support franchisees in managing their teams—what to expect, what’s up to you, and how support systems can vary.
