He hopes to franchise a store near his family in New York state. Cetoute was one of three finalists flown in to interview with the company’s president and CEO, Joe DePinto, at the 7-Eleven home office in Texas. “I want to congratulate Jean, and thank all the veterans who entered. We are

grateful for all our military veterans who selflessly give so much for our country,” DePinto said. “OPERATION: Take Command allows 7-Eleven to recognize and salute them. 7-Eleven is also a winner, as is any company that chooses to work alongside these men and women who have demonstrated the leadership skills, team approach and core values to succeed.” Cetoute immigrated from Haiti and served in the U.S. Marines for 20 years, exiting as the Chief of Utilities.

Academy Leader ship

Academy Leaders Changed My Life As a West Point graduate (USMA 1978), “Leadership” was always a subject near and dear to my heart. After service as a Captain in the Army, my primary profession was as a retained executive recruiter. My job was to build leadership teams by finding leaders that made an immediate positive impact on a client’s organization. In the civilian world I saw leadership explained and extolled in a myriad of ways. Some courses came close, others fell deficient. That was until I attended the Academy Leadership’s three-day “Leadership Boot Camp Experience” (now evolved into a new course --- the Leadership Excellence Course) in August of 2009. I was so impressed with the structure and message of the course, built around the Navy’s definition of Leadership- “Know yourself, Know your People, Know your Stuff”, that I knew I had to a part of this team.

Franchising USA


ship After the course, I met with Dennis Haley, (USNA 1967) and asked if he needed a new franchisee in Chicago, and if so, I was his man. The deal was done and I have been part of this growing company ever since. From the start I believed that that my Executive Search practice would always be my bread and butter. That couldn’t have been father from the truth. With diligence, I offered this life changing course to business clients and through our affiliation with the Project Management Institute which has awarded the course a very sought after 36 Project Development Units (PDUs). I found a great need and even a thirst for “Leadership” in all endeavors--public, private, and not-for profit. Some clients found a way to pay for the course even though it was not budgeted. That need is as true today as it’s ever been. The potential with Academy Leadership is limitless. My Academy Leadership business has grown six-fold since my first full year in 2010. I have established major Clients such as Abbott Laboratories and Siemens Energy but also have a core of smaller emerging companies that

“The Advanced Leadership course re-energized me to fight the status quo and do the right things at work...and to encourage others to do the same…This course has take-away tools, post-course work, and on-going coaching and support that help you implement what you learned.” - Tammy Meyer, Advanced Leadership graduate understand “investing” in leadership training is the difference maker and the “margin of excellence” that enables them to compete in the global and local market. They know that “Leaders” get results. I also have a cadre of faithful graduates that have followed me on to complete “The Advanced Leadership Course”. Facilitating this course has been personally and professionally rewarding. Knowing that I have been able to motivate and inspire new generation of “Leaders” and are making a real difference in my client companies is something I will always cherish. The camaraderie of the veterans involved in Academy Leadership is special as well. I have never felt so much mutual respect, so much mutual support and complete honesty and integrity from everyone associated with this company. We are truly brothers and sisters in arms committed to changing individuals, organizations, and perhaps the world --- one “leader” at a time.

Jim Nalepa

The day I joined Academy Leadership changed my life and met those aspirations I have had regarding promoting leadership development since the day I graduated from West Point.

“I have been managing at one level or another for 20 years, and thought I knew all I needed to know to lead a team. I learned that just because my department is successful, that doesn’t mean that I am as good a leader as I can be…I am very grateful that I have experienced this course and have been reminded of what it means to be a leader.” - Gary P.

REDRHINO:

The Epoxy Flooring Co What makes a successful franchisee? What are you looking for in a franchisee? REDRHINO has high expectations. If you are not somebody who is used to high expectations, then you probably won’t be too comfortable. We ask a lot of our franchisees, and want someone who is fully committed to the model, as well as the brand.

Michael D. Kenealy President and CEO

Franchising USA

The franchisee has to have the ability to consistently follow a program day in and day out. We have a very specific process for sales and national management, and

need each partner to follow this process in order to be successful. We are also looking for individuals who can be simultaneously both intensely competitive and intensely cooperative. The individual has the drive to build a booming business, but is a team-player at the same time by putting the brand first. They can see the big picture and recognize when something will help the brand, and seek opportunities to do so.

What is your biggest challenge in your role as president and CEO? My biggest challenge, my most important challenge is recruiting, training, and


“Our ever-evolving focus on technology has pushed us ahead of our competition for a variety of reasons.”

Why this industry?

:

ompany retaining top talent, whether corporate associates or franchisees. We need the best of the best to reach our goals as an organization, and finding the right people is key. Finally, and maybe I should have addressed this first, it is the ability to surround myself with a great team. In the Corporate office, I am constantly busy with a million tasks day in and day out. I need a team I can depend on to get everything done, but also look for ways to improve what is being done.

How are you able to do that? Well, for franchisees, it’s relatively easy. We have created a business model that

provides for an incredible return on investment. We work to partner with our franchisees and work to ensure their success. This partnership allows them to be successful and get the support they need, and also keeps the corporate office in touch with what is going on across the organization. With corporate associates, it is a bit more difficult. Careers should be “transformative” meaning the associate may start in one position, but sees other things that need to be done and is able to morph into another position. This gives the associate control over their career, and the ability to find their strength within the office. This also makes our corporate associates work well as a team. With no hard lines between positions, it allows everyone to cooperate and work together. At the end of the day, each individual, whether franchisee or associate, are ultimately in control of their professional future. The best that we can do is to create a tapestry that allows their success. We work to improve this tapestry every day.

I found myself stuck in the Corporate world (I was with Perot Systems), and was looking for something more in my career. As I am not a lawyer or accountant or a coder, I asked myself, “What do I do?” I found there was an immense amount of opportunity in this industry, and a low barrier to entry, so I decided to give it a shot. I found that the Return on Investment is extremely high, and began to build a business model that could be easily duplicated. Even though it is a multi-billion-dollar industry, I found that it is very fragmented. With only a few big nationwide players, I realized with organization and drive I could climb my way to the top. This became, and continues to be, my motivation.

Has your strategy evolved over time? I have found the importance of consistent training both in the corporate office, as well as with the franchisees. Without training, the organization as a whole lacks direction and unified knowledge. Having everyone on the same page, and trained in the same way allows for unity and camaraderie between everyone involved. Training also keeps our knowledge up to date, and aware of the most current technological advances in our industry. With the evolution of Social Media and websites like Yelp, we have found that

Customer Service is extremely important. We are sure that each and every client walks away from REDRHINO satisfied. As the majority of our business is repeat and referral, having a reputation for putting the customer first helps us retain clients and gain new business. Our first approach to a franchise model was to have multiple in each state. However, we have found a much higher rate of success by onboarding fewer franchisees with larger territories. This keeps our team closer, and shows the franchisees a higher rate of success. This also allows us to be specific in what we want in a franchisee. We are looking for the right people to build our business, and value quality over quantity.

Where do you see your future growth coming from? We have recently moved into polished concrete. With our industrial footprint,

Franchising USA

we are able to move into this area very aggressively. We have partnered with a national provider of polishing equipment and accessories, and have received more training, stronger brand recognition and increased customer service with this partnership. As we grow, nationwide recognition will become very important and we see this as being a major catalyst for future opportunities.

What are some of REDRHINO’s strategic advantages? We have built an incredible leadership team to guide the organization around the clock. We have found strong corporate associate and regional partners in our years of being in business, and it has been no accident. We are proud of the people we have with us today and see this as a huge advantage in the industry. REDRHINO believes in hiring character, and training skills. We always focus on the

fit of the associate, knowing we can train them to get the job done. Our focus on a strong team has never wavered, and this is keeping us ahead. Our ever-evolving focus on technology has pushed us ahead of our competition for a variety of reasons. By using programs and recognizing the positive effect of technology in the construction world, we are able to track our sales, keep in touch with our clients and create intensive data reports to see what is working. With this comprehensive reporting we have been able to constantly adjust our strategy in sales, marketing and management to streamline our process and be the best we can.

sweetFrog Shares Veteran Success Stories in Honor of Military Appreciation Month Franchising USA

sweetFrog Frozen Yogurt Salutes the Troops with Deals, Awareness Program. Veteran Parrish Thibault Shares Why sweetFrog was the Perfect Fit for Him.


sweetFrog’s Shemar Pucel shows her commitment to veterans.

“Known for its capable leadership and processfocused business model, sweetFrog has a structure that is familiar and reassuring to military veterans. sweetFrog – Raising the Bar on Veteran Franchise Programs

sweetFrog mascots Scoop and Cookie salute America’s Heroes.

May was Military Appreciation Month and sweetFrog, a leading national frozen yogurt franchise, stepped up to salute our troops in multiple ways. Widely recognized as an avid supporter of the military, sweetFrog consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure active and retired military personnel are honored as customers and franchise prospects.

Each year, franchise companies across the country take time to honor service members during May’s Military Appreciation Month, and sweetFrog is no exception. Military personnel were invited to enjoy “Military Mondays” each Monday in May of this year – receiving 15 percent off of all in-store purchases at sweetFrog locations across the country. Additionally, any active or retired military men and women interested in buying a sweetFrog franchise were offered $15,000 off their franchise fee throughout the month of May – double the offer that veteran franchise prospects receive throughout the year. However, military service members don’t need to wait until May 2017 to feel the love at sweetFrog. In addition to the military discount on franchise location purchases, sweetFrog has recently launched a Veteran’s Awareness Program. The Veteran’s Awareness Program serves to educate veterans on franchise ownership and career opportunities in franchising. Starting this summer, the sweetFrog team will travel the country to host seminars on military basis to give our nation’s heroes

tips and insights on what is required to start a franchise or launch a new career in franchising. Owning a sweetFrog franchise location is an ideal career choice for military veterans. Franchise ownership allows veterans to maintain independence as business owners, while still enjoying a sense of stability through the inherent support structures within franchise organizations. Franchises, such as sweetFrog, give new owners the tools they need to succeed and set veterans up for the business opportunity of a lifetime.

Shemar Pucel – Born to Support America’s Heroes Active service members, veterans and even military family members have all thrived as sweetFrog franchise owners and executives. Such is the case with Shemar Pucel, manager of franchise marketing and development for sweetFrog. Pucel’s mother, uncle and grandfather all served in the US military. Pucel grew up surrounded by military personnel and is now engaged to an Air Force service member. So it’s no surprise Pucel is very passionate about honoring American service members, both active and retired.

“Active service members, veterans and even military family members have all thrived as sweetFrog franchise owners and executives.

The sweetFrog team showing off their new mobile unit outside of the Fox and Friends studios.

Pucel is one of the key sweetFrog team members who worked tirelessly to establish a Veterans Awareness Program. This will be the second time Pucel has launched an educational program on behalf of a franchise brand that’s specifically tailored for military personal and emphasizes the many benefits of launching a franchise or working as part of the franchising community. She hopes to inspire more military men and women to capitalize on the franchise business model – just like Parrish Thibault, a newly signed, South Carolina-based sweetFrog franchise owner.

Parrish Thibault – Fully Relying on God with sweetFrog Franchise Like Pucel, new franchise owner, Parrish Thibault, is a sweetFrog veteran success story. Thibault was just starting his marine academy training in Long Island when he personally witnessed the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He was one of many passionate patriots who

Franchising USA

was inspired by the day’s events to make the commitment to join the army and quickly join the fight. Thibault volunteered to go to Iraq in 2006 for 14 months and he returned to the Middle East in 2012, serving on the ground in Afghanistan. Similar to Pucel, Thibault grew up with strong ties to the United States Armed Forces as his grandfather served in the Army and his father served in the Navy. After spending several years doing careful research on various franchise companies, including growth rates and ROI, Thibault is now the proud owner of a sweetFrog franchise location. He recently closed on his first sweetFrog location on April 29, 2016. He says he decided on sweetFrog because of the growth potential and the brand’s Christian “Fully Rely on God” culture built right into the name sweetFrog. He has plans to open several more sweetFrog locations in the coming years. Thibault is confident he will succeed as a sweetFrog franchise owner because he sees the franchise operation as a continuation of the ethics, both

professional and personal, he learned from his time in the military. In order to achieve success, he believes any franchise owner must work hard, persevere in the face of hardships, and always strive be an efficient and reliable leader for his or her team. As the leading national frozen yogurt franchise, sweetFrog is the ideal franchise for military service members. Known for its capable leadership and process-focused business model, sweetFrog has a structure that is familiar and reassuring to military veterans. Additionally, community is a central pillar to sweetFrog’s operation, which naturally appeals to men and women who have served our country. And of course, loyalty and support plays a crucial role in sweetFrog’s day-to-day operations. The company stands behind their franchisees and gives them every possible tool needed to succeed. With a shared mutual trust, spiritual faith and incredible work ethic, sweetFrog’s executive team and franchisees, including veteran owners, make an unbeatable team. www.sweetfrog.com
