TL;DR
Amanda Berry, a FranNet broker, shares her approach to matching entrepreneurs with franchises by listening to their needs and finding a match. Berry has over 10 years of experience in employee development and coaching, and is involved in the veteran community, helping them transition to business ownership.
“Franchising is more than french fries,” FranNet broker Amanda Berry tells her clients. With more than 3,500 franchises in 90 different industries, a big part of Berry’s job is introducing budding entrepreneurs to all the possibilities out there while zeroing in on their own unique skills and personality in order to find a match.
This results-driven franchise specialist with more than 10 years of experience in employee development and coaching says knowing how to listen is what makes her successful. “It’s really about listening to what it is that they want, what is it that they need and what problem we are trying to solve,” she said.
An Army wife, Berry is very involved in the veteran community. “Sometimes our veterans don’t necessarily find the best transitions to the civilian world, and business ownership is a good model for them,” she added. “And I really dedicate a lot of time and energy into helping them transition into a successful business world.”
