It's Never Too Late - Franchise Case Study Helen Garratt
After a long and diverse career in various industries, Helen Garratt of EweMove Grantham North, finally found a role she could be proud of and motivated by.
Despite her best efforts, early retirement never quite worked for Helen. So, by seeking the career that would truly lead her into retirement, Helen found EweMove at the perfect time. And having recently won Best Individual at EweMove’s annual conference, Helen is continuing to prove why it is never too late to forge the ideal career path.
Driven by her experience and wanting to achieve the successes she knows she’s capable of, EweMove has provided Helen with a quality of life and a sense of purpose the veteran of franchising had previously never experienced.
I’ve been able to build momentum, leading me to earn a six-figure salary. I have an amazing net profit margin which has been running at approximately 73% over the last three years, and I’ve passed huge milestones as a business owner, such as banking over £70,000 in just one month.
“When I found EweMove I was completely blown away by it all and how perfectly the EweMove model married with my diverse experience - I booked myself in for a discovery day almost immediately! On the discovery day, I was introduced to one very important marketing tool EweMove franchisees use to win new customers, The 39 Steps to Avoid a House Sale Nightmare, and saw straight away what I’d be able to achieve with a brand that’s as detail-driven as EweMove. I was so excited by it all that I didn’t waste any time in moving forward with taking on a franchise.”
“EweMove is all about people - it’s an added bonus that I’m really interested in property as well! You can tell, from the Sheep Pen to the flock, everyone in the network is invested in achieving the best possible results and making the franchise work for you. The systems the Sheep Pen has in place to ensure you’re well-equipped to hit the ground running are second to none. The Lambing Plan, the inventory, the manuals with the answers to every possible question you might have – they’ve covered all bases.
Although Helen found EweMove near the end of her working life, the belief in her business and her ethic towards forging a better future for herself and her family have been key drivers in her success.
Having invested in the proven business model, following the plan and using the support provided, Helen’s EweMove franchise continues to go from strength-to-strength, and she sees no reason to take her foot off the gas anytime soon.
“It’s surprising how many people don’t realise that, in order to build and maintain a successful business, you just need to follow the plan! You need to think like a business owner, lead yourself, take personal responsibility, and put in the effort and energy to become successful – EweMove does nothing but help you achieve those personal targets. It’s never too late to forge a career path that truly gives you everything you want and need!”
