Career Change

By Jeff Herzog

As the President of F-O-R-T-U-N-E Franchise Corporation (the franchisor of FPC offices), I am immensely proud to reflect on our remarkable journey spanning five decades of unparalleled success in the world of franchising executive search firms. Since 1973, our organization has been committed to transforming the landscape of executive search, and I’m thrilled to share with you the reasons behind our extraordinary achievements.  Our unique model teaches corporate professionals, who don’t have prior recruitment experience, to leverage their experience, knowledge and contacts to build a successful enterprise.

World-Class Training

At the heart of our 50-year legacy in franchising is our unwavering dedication to providing world-class training to our franchisees. We understand that the executive search industry demands a profound understanding of its intricacies, and we’ve meticulously designed comprehensive training programs to equip our franchisees with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel. Our training encompasses every facet of executive search, from candidate sourcing and interviewing to client relationship management and industry insights.

This commitment to ongoing education ensures that our franchisees not only have a strong foundation but also stay at the forefront of industry trends and best practices, allowing them to offer top-tier services to their clients. It pleases me to see our franchisees well-prepared to build thriving businesses in the executive search sector.

Strong and Supportive Community

One of our greatest achievements is the nurturing of a strong and supportive community among our franchisees. While franchising can sometimes feel like a solitary endeavor, we’ve fostered a close-knit network of like-minded individuals who not only share their experiences but genuinely want to see each other succeed. This community transcends a mere network; it’s a family of professionals collaborating, exchanging ideas, and learning from one another.

This sense of belonging to a larger community serves as a valuable support system, ensuring our franchisees never feel isolated or overwhelmed, and that they are part of a collective effort to succeed and grow. I take great pride in our ability to create this sense of unity.

Proprietary Methodology

FPC stands out in the executive search industry because of our proprietary methodology that has been honed over decades of experience. This methodology encompasses best practices, streamlined processes, and unique insights that have consistently proven to be highly effective in the realm of executive recruiting.

Our proprietary methodology not only gives our franchisees a competitive edge but also ensures consistency and quality across our entire network. When clients choose to work with an FPC franchise, they know they are getting a service rooted in expertise and a proven approach. It’s a source of pride for us to offer this unique advantage to our franchisees and their clients.

On-going Support, Development, and Coaching

Central to our enduring success is our dedication to supporting, developing, and coaching our franchise owners. While many franchise systems offer initial training, we go above and beyond by providing continuous support throughout our franchisees’ journey. Our approach centers on harnessing the experience and connections of franchise owners to build profitable businesses that cater to their previous industries.  We are a true business partner to our franchisees.

The executive search industry values industry-specific knowledge and connections, and we wholeheartedly recognize this fact. We encourage our franchisees to leverage their unique strengths and backgrounds, tailoring our guidance to their individual profiles. This approach enhances their ability to provide specialized, highly valuable services to their clients, a point of distinction for our entire organization.

FPC’s 50-year history of success in franchising executive search firms can be attributed to our steadfast commitment to world-class training, a supportive community, our proprietary methodology, and our devotion to supporting, developing, and coaching our franchise owners. This exceptional combination has not only positioned FPC as a leader in the executive search industry but also set an example of how to build a thriving and supportive franchise system that withstands the test of time.
