[0:59] Josh introduces today’s guest, Don Gilmartin, the Co-Founder of TraumOne Franchise Systems. [1:38] Josh welcomes Don to Franchise Euphoria. [2:19] Don gives an overview of what he does and how he got into his franchise business. [4:35] What makes TraumOne so unique is that the structure is modeled after the funeral industry. [5:03] In Don’s words, TraumOne is a crime and trauma scene cleanup and removal service. [7:19] A typical TraumOne franchisee is someone who has connections with law enforcement or funeral industries, but it can have many different verticals. [9:00] Don’s team realized that their systems and procedures were already full proof, so franchising presented itself as a viable option. [12:22] There are two franchise opportunities within TraumOne – either a marketer or an operator. The first of which is more of the face of a location, and the operator works more within the business. [13:54] TraumOne currently has seven franchises running in southern California, with another three set to open by the end of fourth quarter. [19:15] Don shares how important it is to understand your industry, and how TraumOne handles their relationships with their clients, individuals who are dealing with trauma, is a very delicate process.
