🎙️ Episode 11 - In this episode of The Franchise Champion Show, Alan interviews Matthew Sarkela, a Marine veteran who built a top-performing Dryer Vent Wizard franchise that generates over $1 million annually while working just 2 hours per day. Matthew shares the shocking statistic that there's a dryer fire every 36 minutes in the United States and how his business saves lives by preventing these potentially deadly fires. He discusses his transition from running a Mr. Appliance franchise for 14 years to discovering Dryer Vent Wizard through the Neighborly family of brands. Matthew reveals his strategic growth plan that started with hiring a general manager first, his method of training technicians in pairs, and how he achieved Top Gun winner status every year since opening in 2020. He also shares insights from his military background, draws parallels between mountain biking and business challenges, and offers advice on leveraging franchise systems to accelerate business success.
