Quote: "I've been pounding this drum lately... when you're starting your business, your first few hires are the most critical hires that you're going to make, ever! These are the nucleus, they are the core of the company. They are going to establish the culture. They're going to help you establish the brand in your area. So be picky. And if you have to overpay, overpay. Whatever you've got to do. Get the very best people to help you right away and build your team around those people."
Description: On today's episode of Build your A-Team, Freddie talks to Zach Peyton, Co-Founder of Superior Fence & Rail Franchising. Zach is the CEO of the first national fencing franchise and has recently gone through the successful sale of his brand to Private Equity. Zach is a West Point grad, former Army officer, and after his years of military service, joined a Superior Fence & Rail location as an employee over 13 years ago, but quickly became a member of the ownership of that business and eventually the co-founder of the franchise.
Zach recalls that the keys to scaling rapidly was due to the technology implementation into relatively ordinary business coupled with a clear vision and team. Though just starting the franchise in 2016, he led their efforts into growing to over 66+ franchise locations across the USA.
Some topics we discuss:
- Rebranding a business and starting a franchise business; the successful sale of the franchise to a Private Equity firm that’s committed to scaling the platform!
- The journey from six to 66 franchise locations in just five years – and counting
- Visionary leadership, particularly from Veterans, is absolutely CRITICAL to success
- Importance of quality materials for delivering high-quality products and providing superb customer service
- Professional team is core – build your nucleus first and build your A-Team with your first key hires, no matter the cost
