How JDog Brands Sets Franchisees up for Success With Multiple Revenue Streams

JDog Brands, the nearly 300-territory parent company of JDog Junk Removal & Hauling and JDog Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care, has carefully honed its business models to position franchise owners for success. In both of its concepts, owners are able to provide a range of services and diversify revenue streams in a way that encourages consistent business growth.

“We’ve built the JDog business models very carefully. With robust training and continued support, we ensure our franchisees feel both ready and completely capable to run their businesses,” said CEO and Founder Jerry Flanagan. “The model franchise owners follow once they are in business, position them for strong growth and genuine relationship development with the people in their communities, too.”

“One of our primary values is to operate with Respect, Integrity and Trust,” Flanagan explained. “We want our customers to feel like they can trust us to tackle whatever project they need completed. Franchisees are trained on a variety of skills and techniques so they are prepared to provide service in a way that respects their customer’s time, home and belongings.”

In 2022, JDog headquarters established a new franchisee training center to accommodate increased franchisee volume and enhance the learning experience.

The refreshed center is structured like a classroom, including desks, a podium, a television and a camera that can live-stream learning sessions to active franchisees who are interested in a quick refresher. The room is also equipped with seven different flooring types and three different backsplashes, meaning that JDog University attendees receive both theoretical and practical education in the same room.

“Instead of doing a bunch of tables, we just did classroom chairs with the attached desks, so it makes it pretty easy,” explained Kevin Kopa, President of JDog Junk Removal & Hauling. “If they want to clean one section of floor, they just have to move a couple of chairs out of the way. Right outside the door, they can have the van set up, walk outside to get the van to the right temperature and pressure settings, get the correct tools and come right back into the room.”

“We’ve carefully built training and support systems that allow our franchisees to confidently run their businesses with no doubts about their readiness or ability,” explained Jerry Flanagan, CEO and Founder of JDog Brands. “This best-in-class training not only prepares our owners to hit the ground running, but it provides a level of structure and a form of education that is familiar to many Veterans.”

Once franchise owners are trained on all of the services they will potentially offer, they are prepared to interface with their communities and begin to develop strong customer relationships. Because of their range of offerings, owners have an opportunity to market multiple services to a single customer base.

With this, owners and their employees are able to provide repeat service — which also creates recurring revenue. As they deliver a high-quality experience each and every time, owners and their teams build relationships, strengthen the JDog name in the local community and thrust the brand forward.
