From Corporate to Owner How Professionals Are Launching Wingman Franchises
If you have years of professional experience, you may already have the most valuable skills this business requires. Wingman gives corporate professionals a practical, lower-overhead path into ownership-without asking you to become the fulfillment expert.
1. What Got You Here Isn’t Wasted – It’s Your Advantage
Years in corporate roles build the exact traits this franchise rewards: professionalism, responsiveness, structured thinking, relationship management, communication, and accountability.
Those strengths transfer directly into owning a relationship-driven local marketing business.
2. How Tom Mirabella Did the Same Thing
Tom Mirabella left corporate America and built Wingman Planning in 2009.
This franchise model was created by someone who made the exact leap you may be considering-trading the limits of corporate life for the freedom and fulfillment of business ownership.
Today, Wingman Franchise has 300+ five-star reviews, Google Partner status, and a growing network of franchise owners across multiple states.
You’ll be joining a proven brand with a system built by one of your own.
3. What Wingman Ownership Actually Looks Like Day to Day
As a Wingman owner, you network locally, build relationships, meet with small business owners, identify their needs, present solutions, follow up, and grow recurring accounts.
What You DON’T Have To Do:
Wingman’s corporate team handles fulfillment for web design, SEO, PPC, print, and related services.
4. The Learning Curve Is Shorter Than You Think
You don’t need marketing experience to succeed with Wingman. Our training and support system is designed to shorten the learning curve so you can start confidently and build momentum.
With Foundations Bootcamp, proven playbooks, and ongoing coaching, you’re never figuring it out alone.
5. The Numbers
The minimum total investment to open a Wingman Franchise is $77,000. Franchisees earn 35% of every sale. This is a low-overhead, calculated move compared with traditional franchise models.
You bring the relationships, credibility, and work ethic-we provide the service offering, training, systems, and backend support.
The result is a business where you can serve your community, build recurring revenue, and create real equity in something you own.
