French Florist in Los Angeles is 37 years old and is a family business. If you’re a florist, or you have a friend who is, you’re really going to want to listen to this podcast. You’ll learn just how many florists are family businesses. You’ll also learn how services like 1 800 Flowers hurt the small florists.
This episode was full of surprises for us, even though we had a get acquainted call with Michael Jacobson before we booked the recording date.
His business partner Angela was the biggest surprise, because we didn’t realize that they were related. Then Angela revealed that she has a computer programming background, which was extremely helpful to their modernization efforts. Then she revealed that she has a strong background in learning management systems and training creation. That’s a big advantage in the franchise portion of the business.
Listening to how these two balance their different levels of experience in the industry and leverage their respective strengths is useful to any business owner.
We are happy to bring this episode to you.
