“Want to lose weight fast and with no chemicals and stupid eating plans?” Try a Fastway franchise

It’s an inspiration to see how fit Fastway franchise partner Richard Hard is, particularly for a man of 62. Since becoming a courier franchise partner he has lost more than 16 kg and his sugar levels, and therefore his health, have improved dramatically. Perhaps this would be a good way to start marketing franchise opportunities with Fastway: “Want to lose weight fast and with no chemicals and stupid eating plans?”

Above all, within a few months, Richard has increased turnover of his mobile franchise by about 25 per cent. All through good customer service, he says. His short term plans are to purchase another vehicle to help service his Fastway franchise area, and to provide him with more time to continue to market his courier franchise. We bet his long term plan is going to be a winner too.

Richard, originally from Melbourne, was encouraged to buy a Fastway franchise after his son saw a “For Sale” sign in another courier franchisee’s van. Richard had previously been faced with the daunting prospect of trying to secure a job, but at his age he had faced a lot of negativity.

“They don’t employ people my age anymore,” Richard said.

As Richard had previously been self employed in sales and even being a shearer, the idea of owning his own Fastway franchise had the greatest appeal to him when considering a courier franchise.

So Richard and his wife moved all the way up to Cairns. This was great, except that he had no idea where he was going. To overcome this he purchased a GPS unit. Problem was, it could not keep up with all the new areas popping up all over the place. To add to this, who wants to listen to someone telling you to “turn left”, “turn right” and constantly complaining that you are “off route”?

Now that you are ready to pack up the wife and kids and move to Cairns, now worries. We may have a courier franchise for sale and you know you’re going to have a good time here.
