A Closer Look at a Countrywide Signs Franchise in Action

Our previous news item covered the Countrywide Signs franchise consultant going to one of their Discovery Days, and how seeing a franchisee's day-to-day reality in person was the most valuable part of it. You don't need to wait for your own Discovery Day to get a sense of that, because there's a video that shows you exactly the same thing.

It's a good fit if you're still weighing up whether a Discovery Day is the right next step, but want a proper look at what life actually looks like running a Countrywide Signs franchise first, and you can view it here:

The video follows Liam and Gary putting up residential and commercial For Sale and To Let signs around Newmarket, and Gary happens to be the same franchisee I spent part of my own Discovery Day riding along with. Watching this gets you close to the exact experience I had, minus the van seat. You'll see the mix of residential and commercial work, the pace of a normal working day, and just how straightforward the actual job is once you've seen it done a few times.

One thing the video doesn't spell out, but you'll notice if you watch closely, is how much control Liam and Gary have over their own day. Countrywide Signs franchisees work to a route that's planned out for them, which means less time spent figuring out logistics and more time actually getting jobs done. That flexibility extends to how you build your week as a whole, since a great deal of the work comes through Countrywide Signs' national account relationships with estate agents, rather than you having to chase up business yourself. It leaves you free to fit a Countrywide Signs franchise comfortably around the life you already have, rather than the other way round.
