I have never been hiding my intentions.
There is no fee to buy the franchise, it is technically a lease. And I not hiding anything. My point has been clear: with the amount of applicants, franchisees, and painters, there are some occurrences where there could have been wrong expectations set, the hire was a 'bad hire' or another circumstance. It is reality. But College Pro's motto is to provide exceptional management and leadership skills to young entrepreneurs, and with the amount of franchisees I have met, that reigns FAR supreme. So, again, there will be some people that have bad experiences, but it is not College Pro's intention-- and if there is a circumstance where someone has felt like they have been mistreated, I would encourage them to call that number. College Pro is a rare company that is very focussed on the growth and learning of the franchisee because that is what propels their company forward.
As far as damaging my brand, they are not. I am responsible for College Pro's image and brand in my territory and have a part of how we are viewed in my province as a whole. I take ownership in that-- and we are the largest residential painting brand within the province, so it is doing well.
As far as venturing and exploring the site. That would be great. The only thing that brought me to this site was that it came up in google when I was searching, but it has given me a chance to see what it is all about! I really enjoy the discussion, because it is good to see other points and what other people think-- I am not trying to test your patience, but just engaging in the healthy discussion that has come from my post. So I will check out the rest of the site too!
