I love this company. I don't know how it was selected. It's a bunch of machers. They mean business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
From my point of view, what I really like, what I think is really terrific about my work, is that the company's had the opportunity to train literally thousands and thousands of brand new franchisees to successfully run their very first business.
I never really marketed myself, so each job I was given was a new marketing tool, and that would be the way I marketed myself.
It was really a very small company when I started and it changed very rapidly during those first periods.
This is one hell of a business I picked to be in.
It looks like business, and people are much pleased.
In my case, the business chose me.
I think you're defined as a company by what you choose to do and what you choose not to do.
We asked ourselves what we wanted this company to stand for. We didn't want to just sell shoes. I wasn't even into shoes - but I was passionate about customer service.
Great companies have to manage the cadence of what they do.
It's not just buying the company. Sure, we picked the right companies, and we picked the right management and, most importantly, we've given them the right incentive to perform.
