S6 Ep1: How Buzz Franchise Brands is Building Companies that Get People Talking

With over 25 years of experience building brands, Kevin Wilson knows a thing or two about creating franchises that last.  Kevin stops by the pod to discuss how his decades’ worth of entrepreneurial experience led him to create the multi-brand franchise empire known as Buzz Franchise Brands. From his early experience scaling his startup services company, Mosquito Joe, to over 290+ locations, Kevin explains how it eventually led him to the home services industry— and why he’s found such great success within that subsect. Kevin also talks with Wolf about why British Swim School grew to become the largest swim school franchise in the nation, along with the origins of his other franchises, including Home Clean Heroes, Grand Illuminations, and Pool Scouts.  Plus, find out how Kevin’s chosen to structure his multi-franchise empire and what he credits as the main reason for Buzz Franchise Brand’s phenomenal success.   0:00 Intro/Background 5:30 Marketing Before the Internet 7:19 Moving to South Africa 12:40 Making Money in Airlines 16:00 Mosquito Joe 23:25 British Swim School 32:06 Buzz Franchise Brands 36:17 Grand Illuminations 39:03 Supporting Growth   Follow Buzz Franchise Brands:  Website: https://buzzfranchisebrands.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/buzz-franchise-brands/   Follow Kevin:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinwilsonbfb/   Buzz Franchise Brands is a multi-brand franchising company currently operating four service brands: Pool Scouts pool cleaning franchise, Home Clean Heroes residential cleaning franchise, British Swim School swim instruction franchise and Grand Illuminations outdoor lighting franchise.
