Meet Joanne Wilsdon, a No Letting Go franchisee, navigating growth, challenges, and success since 2018
Joanne Wilsdon, a No Letting Go franchisee since 2018, entered the network by purchasing her initial territory in Mid Suffolk, captivated by the brand and Head Office's training.
Successfully establishing a core group of local clients and combining it with national account work, she achieved consistent growth, prompting the acquisition of two additional territories: Cambridge and Norfolk.
Reflecting on her success, Joanne proudly states, "Continued growth and a revenue of £145,000 in 2023, starting from zero, which I'm really proud of!"
Recruiting the best clerks for her territory is, in Joanne’s words, “My biggest challenge, and I’m still experimenting with the best way to do this in my area.” but, she continues, “Head Office has been a great help, they have sourced a great clerk for me in Cambridge, and I now need to match this in Mid-Suffolk”.
Joanne's sales tip revolves around consistency, regularly connecting with agents, and using Mailchimp for monthly communications.
Looking ahead, her plans involve recruiting another clerk, expanding her marketing database, and strengthening client relationships in both territories.
Joanne's journey encapsulates No Letting Go's success, marked by growth, adaptability, and strategic sales and marketing efforts.
