Steve and Tracie Shatkin share how "Unreasonable Hospitality" drives coffee shop success...
3 Value Bombs:
Invest in Long-Term Relationships with Franchisees
The interview emphasizes how crucial it is to build trust and long-term relationships with franchisees. Success in franchising doesn’t come from simply selling franchises; it comes from understanding your franchisees' needs, providing ongoing support, and helping them thrive over time. This creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem that leads to sustainable success for both the franchisor and franchisee.

Systems and Processes are Key to Scaling
A recurring theme is the importance of establishing well-defined systems and processes. These structures help maintain consistency across franchise locations, ensuring quality and brand integrity. Franchisors who prioritize this aspect set themselves and their franchisees up for smoother operations and easier scaling.

Franchisee Selection is Critical
Not all potential franchisees are a good fit. A significant takeaway is that franchisors should focus on selecting franchisees who align with the brand’s values, culture, and vision. This alignment is a key indicator of long-term success, as franchisees who are passionate about the brand are more likely to put in the effort needed to make their business—and the franchise—prosper.

Julio Melara, CEO of Baton Rouge Business Report, shares why mindset is so important. This was actually our very first podcast under a different name - the Absolutely Mindset Podcast. It set the stage for every podcast episode we've done since. As we enter 2025 and close in on 100 episodes this year, we thought this would be an awesome way to kick off the year. 3 takeaways on this episode of the Close The Deal Podcast: 👉The Three Qs for Success - Julio introduces a powerful framework for personal and professional growth: IQ, EQ, and FQ. While IQ (intelligence quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient) are important, he emphasizes that FQ (failure quotient)—the ability to recover and grow from failures—is the most critical. Resilience in the face of setbacks is essential for long-term success, making FQ a cornerstone for achieving greatness. 👉The Secret of Success: Work - The story of Julio’s mother gifting him a wooden box labeled “The Secret of Success” encapsulates a life-changing lesson: success requires hard work, drive, and persistence. This simple but profound truth has shaped Julio’s career and serves as a timeless reminder that achieving dreams is not about shortcuts but consistent effort and determination. 👉 Mindset is Everything - Julio underscores the importance of a daily "mind game." He draws on St. Paul’s wisdom to “renew your mind” by feeding it positive, constructive thoughts. In a world filled with negativity and distractions, maintaining the right perspective and focusing on personal growth is critical. Winning the battle in the mind translates to winning in life and business. ## Visit www.CloseTheDeal.com to see all episodes.
