The success story of the computer scientist who became a "Brother-in-law for rent" franchise
Without any past experience as a renovation contractor, this 37-year-old computer scientist chose to launch a “Brother-in-law for rent” franchise. For what? Because he aspired to a career that would allow him to be in contact with people and to realize his passion for renovation. Let's discover the story of Pierre Leclerc, the owner of the first “Beau-frère à hiring” franchise in the great city of Quebec.
Who is Pierre Leclerc?
Pierre Leclerc is the proud owner of the “Beau-frère à hiring – Limoilou” franchise in Quebec. At 37, despite his lack of experience in market development and client management, he created an impressive momentum, with appointments that quickly allowed him to fill his calendar for the first month in his first week in as a franchisee. With the support of the marketing team of “Beau-frere for rent”, Pierre was able to acquire his first customers and increase traffic on his website from zero to more than 500 visits in just one month of operation.
Why did Pierre choose "Brother-in-law for rent" to go into business for the first time?
Pierre, like many of his generation, was looking for a career that would fascinate him. His interest in renovation grew over the years, during which he renovated his own income properties. The idea of spending the rest of his career working alone in front of a computer screen did not excite him. He wanted to be useful, meet people and do a job he was passionate about. The methods, the tools, the training, but above all the experience in the field of Beau-brother for rent greatly reassured him when he decided to embark on the adventure. His talents and his passion for renovation and franchisor support greatly made up for his lack of experience.
How franchising allowed Pierre to start his business with no experience
One of the main obstacles to entrepreneurship is fear, even more so than lack of funds. The business world can be daunting, especially without prior experience. This is where franchising comes in. Iwas able to overcome his difficulties and leverage an already established brand to start his own business.
