You may be asking "Why is this a FUN FACT??" This is a FUN FACT because it brings a subject matter expert to the team with direct glass industry experience of 30 plus years. He has already been out in the field with Franchisees in the trenches installing shower doors, wine cellars and other jobs that could be seen as difficult for a new franchisee to install or have their team install. When a Franchisee comes to Discovery Day they will have already had a validation call with Jeff and more importantly Jeff will have had calls with potential vendors within the market that they will be opening their location in. Not only has Jeff joined the Gatsby Glass Team but he also hired a gentlemen named Eddie Shepherd, who is Field Operations Training Specialist! Eddie also brings 20+ years of glass install experience to the Gatsby Glass Team. , sidekick_commission_1=28000, registration_illinois=Registered, business_model_b2b_percentage=60%, contact_email=jhanika@horsepowerbrands.com, fbr_survey_link=https://campaigns.franchisesidekick.com/fbr-survey-information?brand_name=Gatsby%20Glass, hs_createdate=1664485874088, display_on_website=true, registration_south_dakota=Registered, e2_visa_candidates=Yes, brand_summary=Gatsby Glass is setting the new diamond standard in the glass industry as we bring 3D technology and an innovative sales process to a fragmented industry across both the residential and commercial lines.

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=49, contact_phone=(402)690-8847, page_title=Gatsby Glass, approximate_break_even_time_frame=N/A, main_background=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2984875340/main_background?variant=large, customer_acquisition=[Call Center, Door to Door Sales, Digital, Referral / Relationship, Sales, Customer Financing, National Accounts, Recurring Revenue], fdd_upload=https://api-na1.hubspot.com/form-integrations/v1/uploaded-files/signed-url-redirect/87779333456?portalId=21052030&sign=wufNvSvERRnYY9YF9WuCwKfnQ-w%3D&conversionId=3e63be70-fa1c-44ec-ae27-34b97e0082cb&filename=3e63be70-fa1c-44ec-ae27-34b97e0082cb-2-7178165/fdd_upload-GG-FDD-Issued-6.13.22-(updated-9.1.22).pdf, hs_object_source_id=userId:6337553, services_image_bottom_small=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2984875340/services_image_small_2, brand_fund=N/A, sales_contact_first_name=Corey, update_state_registrations_link=https://www.franchisesidekick.com/update-state-registration?brand_name=Gatsby%20Glass, functions_of_owner_operator=• Driving Sales • Tracking & Influencing KPI’s • Recruiting Contractors • Customer Service, contact_first_name=Jacob, staffing_requirements_image=https://21052030.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/21052030/form-uploads/5ebf2af6-c2d4-42d4-822d-8da275584d7f/e69bbcfb-c92f-4aa3-9fd8-c24c1e0ff581-2-7178165staffing_requirements_image-GG-00-SocialCovers-linkedin-4.png, ideal_candidate=Relationship Builder;Experience with Sales Leadership;No Industry Experience Required;Values Outstanding Customer Service;Ability to recruit and scale a team;Leadership Skills, unique_name=Gatsby Glass, major_competitors=Glass Doctor, available_internationally=No, priority_status=Standard, services_image_bottom_medium=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/2984875340/services_image_medium_2, sks_item_7_range_high=353399, competitive_advantage_3=Blue Print Analyst hired on by Gatsby Corporate to read Blue Prints for Franchisees , competitive_advantage_2=Digital Sales Process - Virtual Showroom / Visualizer Tool / Mobile Showroom, affiliate_brands_owned=Mighty Dog Roofing, Blingle!, iFOAM, Heroes Lawn Care, Groovy Hues, Bumble Bee Blinds, Stand Strong Fence, Varsity Zone, competitive_advantage_1=Digital Marketing Agency (Scorpion is a full stack marketing firm handling everything from SEO, GMB optimization, pay-per-click campaigns, social media ads and content, design & copywrite, micro lead generation, digital media buying and more!), competitive_advantage_7=Call Center - We track & monitor every customer every call to Dial In Best Practices , competitive_advantage_6=Building Referral Network - Builders / GC's / Sub-contractors / Interior Designers / Real Estate Agents / Architects, competitive_advantage_5=Glass Industry is under serviced & unreliable.
