I started a new towing business exactly 30 days ago.
We officially launched last week, on Wednesday, May 7th.
Things got really interesting on Friday.
Here’s what happened:
Our Google Business profile gets approved at 7:13 am.
The dispatch phone rings at 9:53 am.
A lady named Francis requests a tow.
She found us on Google 🤯
Her car was overheating and wouldn’t start.
We’re onsite within 30 minutes.
She’s at our closet shop 20 minutes later
The math:
- $125 for the tow
- $1,400 to repair her car
- First-time customer to our shop
She utilized our 12-month, 0% interest payment plan, so she’ll be back for maintenance.
Not a bad start.
This is exactly why I love being a franchise entrepreneur.
I got this towing idea by talking to another Midas franchisee at our annual convention just 75 days ago.
He started his towing business 5 years ago and is absolutely crushing it — both in towing & repairs.
There’s tremendous power in being part of a strong franchise community.
The best franchisees share everything:
- Operational challenges & solutions
- Financial benchmarks
- Growth opportunities
But you have to show up & build relationships.
That single 30-minute conversation at a hotel bar in Orlando could generate us millions in revenue.
This is why I’m so passionate about franchising.
There is no limit to what’s possible when you leverage collective knowledge.
Cheers!
Brian
