Jim’s Fencing Australia experiences additional 500 new consumer demands

Jim’s Fencing Australia franchisee, Dean Watson, says the fencing franchise is experiencing significant consumer demand and is facing a difficult time because of a lack of franchisees.

“During a recent marketing campaign, we received an additional 500 new leads, most of which could not be serviced because there just aren’t the franchisees available to do the work,” said Watson.

According to Watson, Jim’s Fencing Australia has hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of business opportunities waiting. “It really is a financial bonanza waiting for a new business owner to come and clean up,” said Watson.

Dean Watson has been a long time franchisee with Jim’s Fencing Australia. Watson was previously working for a drilling manufacture in Canning Vale, but wanted to do something different.

“I literally hit the jackpot nine years ago when I decided to buy my own Jim’s Fencing business,” said Watson.

“I’d had enough of the shift work and missing out on family time with my young kids.” After making a couple of phone calls to different franchises, Watson had found the one that was most suited to him. Since joining Jim’s Fencing Australia,

Watson and his family haven’t looked back.

“We earn a six figure income after tax and we have a great work-life balance,” said Watson.

According to Watson, it is important for new business owners to do their homework and research before getting in to a business.  He recommends to new business owners to:

• Ensure that the business is right for you.  Is it something you will enjoy doing?
• Some franchises are better than others – speak to franchisees and ask their thoughts on it.
• Do a trial in the new business – work in the store or get on the tools.  Give it a try.
• Investigate brand strength, support (when you start and ongoing) and the business systems.
