Your Impact On Team Sidekick

As a Franchise Advisor, you’ll serve as a trusted guide to prospective entrepreneurs considering franchise ownership. You’ll lead your clients through the Sidekick Seven—our proven, high‑impact sales process—while acting as a business coach, advisor, and motivator. You’ll build deep relationships, helping them navigate life‑changing decisions with confidence, clarity, and courage.

Role

This role is more than sales. It’s mentorship, strategy, and transformation. The right Advisor will be equal parts empathetic and influential, using their knowledge, professionalism, and care to move clients from curiosity to commitment. You’ll also serve as a key connector between our clients and our curated list of high‑performing franchise brands, and as an active contributor to the continued evolution of our team and systems.

Client Advisory & Coaching (50%)

• Guide prospective clients through the Sidekick Seven franchise discovery process with clarity, motivation, and expertise.
• Act as a strategic coach, helping clients understand key business concepts and confidently navigate their decision.

Pipeline Management & Sales Execution (30%)

• Manage an active sales pipeline, responding quickly to new leads and ensuring timely follow‑up throughout the process.
• Convert qualified leads into closed deals through structured, value‑based conversations and leverage Sidekick process and technology.

• Build strong working relationships with franchise brand representatives and leverage them effectively during client discovery.
• Maintain fluency on Sidekick‑approved brands and industry trends to provide current, relevant insights.

A Day in the Life …

No two days as a Franchise Advisor look quite the same—and that’s exactly what makes this role awesome. On any given day you’ll be onboarding new clients, leading strategy calls, or coaching someone through a decision that could change their life. You’ll spend time reviewing franchise brand options, making thoughtful recommendations, and collaborating with internal specialists and brand partners.

Your calendar will be full, but never dull. You’ll juggle multiple client relationships at various stages in the process, respond quickly to new leads, and make strategic use of your time to hit both individual and team goals. And like every member of Team Sidekick, you’ll be part of a culture that’s collaborative, high‑accountability, and focused on growth—for our clients and for each other.

What’s In It For You?

• Compensation: We offer a base salary and commission on every deal you close.

• Clear Path For Growth: Every top performing Franchise Advisor is eligible to graduate to our Senior Advisor Program, which allows you to manage a team of your own Advisors and significantly expands earning potential beyond individual sales production. The Senior Advisor path is available to top performers in as little as two years!

• Paid Time Off: Every Sidekick starts with 16 days of PTO, two floating holidays, and a paid volunteer day annually. We also offer nine paid company holidays each year. Team Members earn additional PTO for each year of employment.

• Franchise Ownership Program: After you’re established with Sidekick, we offer a Franchise Purchase Discount which allows you to own your own Franchise Business at a $30,000 to $50,000 savings. Some restrictions and minimum qualifications apply to the discount.

• Client Referral Commission: We pay $3,000 for every qualified lead you submit that ends up purchasing a franchise.
