1851 Growth Club: You’re Welcome to Use Other Networks

At 1851 Franchise and within 1851 Growth Club, helping entrepreneurial franchisees and the right franchisors find each other takes priority over everything else. In fact, The Growth Club goes so far as to encourage you to include other broker networks in your franchising journey.

“People will ask me, can I use other broker networks when you're working with us? The answer is: Absolutely and I encourage you to do so,” said Nick Powills, 1851 Franchise and Growth Club CEO.

Powills believes that involvement with other broker networks is an important piece of the puzzle in finding success in franchising. 1851 Growth Club is on a mission to improve franchisee education and franchisor growth. Thus, if a brand is on that same mission, The Growth Club wants them to win.

The key, according to Powills, is transparency.

“We're trying to build transparency in terms of how the broker fees work,” he said.” Franchisees are the ones that actually pay these high commissions. As long as we're transparent with the franchisees, then it is fair and makes sense.”

With this honesty comes the freedom to decline a candidate if they do not seem like a suitable fit or show potential for scaling with your business. This won’t be held against you at 1851 Growth Club.

“There's no blacklisting when it comes to Growth Club because our team is salaried and not just relying on commission,” Powills said.

All in all, 1851 Growth Club strives to help you succeed and does not require you to use its services exclusively. In a world full of competition and white noise, Powills advises “using as many networks as possible, so you have as many human beings out there telling your story as you can.”
