Ken Chaffee - Franchise Players
OpenWorks is the perfect fit for me as an operations mind who knows how to manage people and ensure follow through on the value proposition a company promises customers. - OpenWorks Franchisee Ken Chaffee
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 14, 2014
OpenWorks, one of America’s leading commercial cleaning franchises, was featured in the Oct. 3 online edition of Entrepreneur Magazine’s feature, Franchise Players. Franchise Players is a regular column that spotlights franchisees from an array of businesses. Entrepreneur Magazine and its website are dedicated to sharing news and feature stories about entrepreneurism, small business management and profitable business opportunities.
The piece, titled Franchise Players: Playing to My Strengths as a Franchisee, Not a Salesman, featured OpenWorks franchise owner Ken Chaffee, who’s been involved in the franchise business for 14 years. Chaffee was selected because of his successful history in franchising and his insight into the franchise business model and the commercial cleaning industry.
Chaffee spent 30 years working in a corporate sales environment, but after 30 years, he knew that sales wasn’t his forte. Luckily, spending so much time in a business environment helped grow other skills that Chaffee could put toward a new venture -- franchising. In the article, Chaffee discusses what made an environmentally friendly franchise like OpenWorks a good choice for him; the highs and lows of getting his home-based business up and running; and plans for growing his no store front business and maintaining a solid financial future.
Chaffee says OpenWorks was a good fit for him, as they offered a proven business model that was priced competitively and allowed him to play to his strengths. “OpenWorks is the perfect fit for me as an operations mind who knows how to manage people and ensure follow through on the value proposition a company promises customers,” he said in the article.
