## Story

1851 Franchise talked to Prenevost about focusing on the right transaction for the client, his success in the industry and his best advice for those who want to become franchisees.

"The first thing I would say to any franchise is to always have a clear idea of who your ideal franchisee avatar is,” said Prenevost. “The franchisor's role, especially people in charge of development or franchise recruiting, is to protect the franchisor. What does that mean? It means not letting the wrong people in.”
