As a Franchise Advisor, you’ll serve as a trusted guide to prospective entrepreneurs considering franchise ownership. You’ll lead your clients through the Sidekick Seven—our proven, high-impact sales process—while acting as a business coach, advisor, and motivator. You’ll build deep relationships with your clients, helping them navigate life-changing decisions with confidence, clarity, and courage.

This role is more than sales. It’s mentorship, strategy, and transformation. The right Advisor will be equal parts empathetic and influential, using their knowledge, professionalism, and care to move clients from curiosity to commitment. You’ll also serve as a key connector between our clients and our curated list of high-performing franchise brands, and as an active contributor to the continued evolution of our team and systems.

In this role, you will work on:

• Guide prospective clients through the Sidekick Seven franchise discovery process with clarity, motivation, and expertise
• Act as a strategic coach, helping clients understand key business concepts and confidently navigate their decision
• Manage an active sales pipeline, responding quickly to new leads and ensuring timely follow-up throughout the process
• Convert qualified leads into closed deals through structured, value-based conversations and leverage Sidekick process and technology

• Build strong working relationships with franchise brand representatives and leverage them effectively during client discovery
• Maintain fluency on Sidekick-approved brands and industry trends to provide current, relevant insights

• Provide regular feedback to improve team processes, content, and tools
• Attend regular team meetings and trainings to constantly learn and grow
• Mentor peers and contribute to a team culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

No two days as a Franchise Advisor look quite the same—and that’s exactly what makes this role awesome. On any given day, you’ll be onboarding new clients into the Sidekick process, leading strategy calls with franchise candidates, or coaching someone through a decision that could change their life. You’ll spend time reviewing franchise brand options, making thoughtful recommendations, and collaborating with internal specialists and brand partners.

Your calendar will be full, but never dull. You’ll juggle multiple client relationships at various stages in the process, respond quickly to new leads, and make strategic use of your time to hit both individual and team goals. And like every member of Team Sidekick, you’ll be part of a culture that’s collaborative, high-accountability, and focused on growth—for our clients and for each other.
