The People We Seek
Work Ethic
Nothing happens or is achieved without hard work. Be sure that you are prepared for it. Being in your own business has very little in common to simply having a job. You must have a genuine desire to work for yourself and be able to run your own business with our help. Be prepared to work both in and on your business. Often this will mean working extra hours and missing out on the occasional social activity - however don't lose sight of your long-term objectives. Be prepared to work more than 50 hours a week to get your business established.
Give and Take
This is probably the best example of the philosophy in franchising. Everyone must be prepared to 'give to get'. The best system in the world will never optimise market opportunities unless everyone recognises the 'commonality' that exists in objectives and contributes to the well being of each other and the whole.
Ability to Listen, Learn and Do
Our system works. Yes, it will be continually developed further, however initially it is of paramount importance that you have the ability and willingness to be trained and then apply your training. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. One thing is certain, if you don't apply the system; your chance of success will decrease dramatically and we do not want this to happen.
Enjoy Yourself
This is a people business. You cannot afford to be shy and timid, you will need to be bright and cheerful all of the time and learn to enjoy the customer relationships that will be a part of your business. Some of your customers will become 'special' to you and it is therefore important that you invest in those relationships to encourage referrals. Always remember you are the star in your 'Customer Service' role of a lifetime!
Customer Focussed
We do not look for 'sales' people but it is vital to understand that we are a service/sales business. Our customers deserve the best in customer service and this will involve your understanding of some sales and public relations techniques. Again what we refer to as a customer service mindset.
Ambition
This is an important characteristic for anyone wanting to become a Maries Pizza franchise owner. Set yourself some realistic goals and then work with us to achieve them. Being complacent or too easily satisfied in business can be detrimental to your business value and your income. Our system needs high achievers. So be certain that you are capable of going the extra mile - all of the time.
The difference in business between ordinary people and those who are extraordinary is just the EXTRA bit. Without that little bit EXTRA your Maries Pizza franchise will not reach the level of success that it should.
Be sure you are EXTRAORDINARY in your commitment.
Being self-employed is hard work; but the rewards are there for the taking
We have a unique business management system that has been proven over a number of years.
However, your business will require one key ingredient from you to make it succeed - COMMITMENT. You need to be committed to your business and to your goals as well as ours and be prepared to look past the difficulties that come along in business life.
If you like what you see and hear, take some more time to look closer and seek more information. We have no doubts that if you are suited to our business and have the necessary financial strength and commitment, (there's that word again), you will ultimately make the decision to join us and commit to the challenge of owning your own business in a disciplined manner.
