How to Have a Strong Support System at Home or on the Road.

Starting a franchise is a big decision that not only affects you but your family as well. It’s necessary that both you and your spouse are on the same page when it comes to starting a franchise. At Matco Tools, we involve your spouse from the very first day. From attending training sessions at our headquarters in Stow, OH to helping stock your store every night, your spouse can be involved every step of the way.

Whether your spouse wants to be on the truck with you going from shop-to-shop or behind the scenes handling the finances, your better half can become the other half of your business.

So how can your spouse participate in your Matco experience? He/she can assume many different roles.

1.) The Emotional Supporter – Having someone at home who has a positive attitude and provides emotional support is just as helpful as having a daily partner on-board the truck. Knowing that your family believes in you and this journey makes the tough days easier. Your team of motivators helps keep you focused on doing your best every day.

2.) The Promoter – Having your spouse be your store promoter is a fun way to get people on the truck! Matco will provide you with promotional flyers, but finding creative ways to get technicians out to the truck doesn’t hurt. Some spouses bake treats while others run fun contests on their truck and business Facebook page. No one can turn down free cookies or prizes!

3.) The Book Keeper – Some spouses prefer to stay behind the scenes instead of being face-to-face with customers. As a Matco Tools franchisee, you’re responsible for making your sales, keeping your inventory stocked and up-to-date, maintaining customer relationships, growing your business and taking care of your finances. Although Matco provides you with the tools and software to make this an easy process, this task still takes time. 

Your spouse can keep the finances organized while you focus time on the other business duties at hand.

4.) The Facility Manager – There are many daily tasks to accomplish, so you may need some extra help. Your spouse can assist in keeping track of inventory and ordering new products. They can also help you tidy the truck and keep it in tip top shape. Your customers are likely to buy from a store that is organized, because they can easily see all of your products.

5.) The Sales Team – Some spouses want to hit the road with you and help sell tools! Having a partner that rides along with you in the truck and hands out the promotional flyers at the shops is a great help. Whatever he/she chooses to do, your spouse can be your best business tool on your route.

Ready to Get Behind the Wheel?

Whether your spouse decides to be involved on your daily route or prefers to help at home, it’s important that they’re informed and involved. Being on Team Matco means getting to spend time with your family and involve them in your day-to-day activities.

To see real Matco families in action, watch the Partnering with Matco Tools video. Here you will see a couple that hits the sales floor together, and others that discuss the importance of being emotionally supportive.

There is a reason why people choose to own a Matco Tools franchise over other franchise opportunities.

Actually, there’s more than one reason, and far too many to list here. So we’ve done our homework and put together the top 10 reasons why people want to join the Matco Tools family.

#10 Our franchisees have more flexibility in their schedules than a typical 9-5 job

Spending time with family is a major priority for our franchise owners and being a part of the Matco Tools team means that they can set aside more time to do the things they love… like coaching football, attending dance recitals and being home in time to have dinner with their families.

#9 Matco puts on the Best Tool Business Conference & Expo

Every year, we host a business conference in fantastic locations like Las Vegas, Orlando, San Diego and other areas where franchise business owners can see our newest products on the market, grow their businesses with education sessions and get deals on the items that they stock on their trucks.

And we can’t forget to mention how much fun they have while doing it.

#8 Helping others

Our franchise owners know that they are providing essential tools to their customers… Tools that help them get their work done efficiently so that they can go home to their families too.

Our distributors love the fact that they are making their customers’ lives easier every day.

#7 Tremendous Customer Support

Entrepreneurship can be scary. But with top-of-the-line training and marketing support, our franchisees never feel alone. Matco’s customer service team is available 16 hours a day to answer any questions our distributors may have.

#6 $10,000 military allowance

Matco Tools is grateful to all of those who have sacrificed for our country and wants to make it easier for veterans to become franchisees. We’ve recently doubled our military allowance to bring down initial start-up costs and make the process of owning one’s own business less stressful.

#5 Being a part of a team

Our franchisees often state that the people they have met since becoming a franchise owner make all the difference in their day-to-day activities. Owners love the community they have formed with other franchise owners who are always eager to support and help each other achieve success.

#4 World-class training: #1 in mobile tool industry

Matco Tools offers a training program for franchise owners, which includes product training, business classes and sales training. Since Matco Tools offers twice the sales and business training of other automotive tool franchises, it’s no wonder that our franchisees continue to see tremendous success.

#3 More opportunities for owners & their families

Don’t just take it from us. Our own distributors can tell you how Matco helped them save for vacations, pay off debts and start putting money away for their children’s college funds.

#2 Minimal investment

Compared to other franchise opportunities, the investment needed to start a Matco Tools franchise is minimal and oftentimes quite manageable for our owners.

Plus, Matco’s in-house financing program can cover up to 100% of start-up costs for those who qualify.

#1 It’s a heck of a lot of fun

If all of the other benefits weren’t enough, our owners just flat out enjoy what they do. And there’s no way to put a price tag on that.
