Frustrated by the lack of accountability by franchisors to open and support franchisees the duo wanted to create a platform focused on operational excellence and accountability. Accountability starts with ownership and that’s why we own at minimum a controlling interest in all the brands our ownership group attaches their names too. All steps of selling a franchise opportunity and supporting franchise owners is handled under one roof by our staff. We have developed detailed and transparent franchise development strategies that allow us to responsibly award our franchise opportunities to the right people. More importantly we open all the franchise territories we award and have experienced operations teams to ensure our franchisees achieve their financial goals through business ownership., year_started_franchising=2022, sks_locations_represented_in_item_19=1, sks_years_franchising=2022, units_awarded_last_12_months=87, contact_phone=(480)438-8689, page_title=Bumble Bee Blinds, approximate_break_even_time_frame=Depends on Franchisee, main_background=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2985258789/main_background?variant=large, customer_acquisition=[Call Center, Door to Door Sales, Digital, Referral / Relationship, Sales, Reputation Management, Customer Financing, National Accounts], fdd_upload=https://api-na1.hubspot.com/form-integrations/v1/uploaded-files/signed-url-redirect/92675408278?portalId=21052030&sign=e2zSLi0kR64R0LYYb4YRqzRuSxg%3D&conversionId=db047b69-4347-45b1-b734-d279421c9eab&filename=db047b69-4347-45b1-b734-d279421c9eab-2-7178165/fdd_upload-BBB-FDD-Issued-9.30.22-(as-amended-10.31.22)(updated-11.16.22).pdf, hs_object_source_id=userId:6337553, services_image_bottom_small=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2985258789/services_image_small_2, brand_fund=, sales_contact_first_name=Courtney, update_state_registrations_link=https://www.franchisesidekick.com/update-state-registration?brand_name=Bumble%20Bee%20Blinds, functions_of_owner_operator=• Driving Sales • Business Development of Corporate Accounts • Tracking & Influencing KPI’s • Evaluate Job Sites for Quality • Customer Service • Financials & Forecasting, contact_first_name=Nancy, staffing_requirements_image=https://21052030.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/21052030/form-uploads/5ebf2af6-c2d4-42d4-822d-8da275584d7f/55254abf-957e-409f-b425-1dd1eca70dc3-2-7178165staffing_requirements_image-BMBB-Social-Cover-Images_FB-header-1.png, ideal_candidate=Relationship Builder;Experience with Sales Leadership;No Industry Experience Required;Values Outstanding Customer Service;Community Centric;Leadership Skills, competitive_advantage_10=3 Phase Onboarding for thorough and diligent Training prior to Franchisee Launch, unique_name=Bumble Bee Blinds, major_competitors=Bloomin Blinds and Gotcha Covered, available_internationally=No, priority_status=Standard, services_image_bottom_medium=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2985258789/services_image_medium_2, sks_item_7_range_high=249977, competitive_advantage_3=Repair Work, competitive_advantage_2=Organized Infastructure to Scale, affiliate_brands_owned=Mighty Dog Roofing, Blingle!, iFOAM, Heroes Lawn Care, Gatsby Glass, Groovy Hues, Stand Strong Fencing, Varsity Zone, competitive_advantage_1=Strategic B2B and B2C Plan, competitive_advantage_7=6 Source Platform for Sub-Contract Labor, competitive_advantage_6=Consumer Financing, competitive_advantage_5=Visualizer Tool + Laser Measurement System, competitive_advantage_4=Quick Intallation Times, item_7_other=$245,496 to $500,270, competitive_advantage_9=ZeeContact Call Center , number_type_of_employees=2, competitive_advantage_8=ZeeRecruit Recruiting Services, contact_last_name=Baio, employee_skillset_type=Compensated more with a specific skillset, locations_open=183, item_19_label__1=Average Gross Sales, item_19_label__2=, joined_inventory_at=1670803200000, required_net_worth=300000, registration_hawaii=Not Registered, registration_minnesota=Registered, services_image_bottom_large=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2985258789/services_image_large_2, franchise_fee_10=344500, brand_summary_marketing_revision=Bumble Bee Blinds offers custom window treatment products, design, consultation, and installation.
