At the end of July she had sold \u00a350,000 of kitchen makeovers.<\/p>\n<p>Mey admits that there have been some stressful moments but she is delighted with her decision to join the kitchen facelift franchise. &#8220;I&#8217;m really enjoying myself and absolutely love the selling. Of course, there have been some difficult days. This is a totally new industry to me, and a busy one! But I like a challenge and there&#8217;s never been a problem we haven&#8217;t been able to solve \u2013 or that somebody else hasn&#8217;t been through before.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mey explains why she invested more that \u00a370,000 into this new venture: &#8220;I&#8217;d seen lots of other businesses and this is definitely the most professional and well-run franchise I&#8217;ve ever seen. The kitchen doors and worktops are a quality product, the people are easy to get along with and there are some resources in place to help franchisees than any outside observes would know.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Susan isn&#8217;t the only new franchise owner of Dream Doors doing well. Worcester-based couple, Dionne and Mark Battin, have just taken the record for the fastest start in Dream Doors&#8217; 14-year history, opening their showroom just three months after joining. South African ex-pats, Gary and Hayley Ashe sold \u00a3567,000 from their showroom near Woking last year \u2013 their first year of trading. <\/p>\n<p>Dream Doors has been franchising for over a decade, is a former bfa &#8216;Brand Builder of the Year&#8217; and six-time winner in the Franchising Marketing Awards. It was also voted one of the top six franchises in the UK this year, making the finals in the bfa&#8217;s &#8216;Franchisor of the Year Awards&#8217;.<\/p>\n<iframe src='http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.franchisemart.in%2Ffranchise%2Fnew-dream-doors-franchise-owner-sells-50000-in-first-month%2F&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=280&amp;action=recommend&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=30' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; height:30px' allowTransparency='true'><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susan de Mey opened her Dream Doors showroom in Truro on the last weekend in June.
