We Are Lucky to Have Josh as Employee of the Month

Congratulations to our March Employee of the Month, Josh Petrillo! Josh joined the Buzz Franchise Brands team last August as the Franchise Development Coordinator. Josh plays a pivotal role within the company, working across brands to help with signing new franchisees and getting them set up in our systems. With the consistent excellent work that Josh puts in every day, it’s no surprise that he’s our Employee of the Month!

Josh’s Background

Prior to joining Buzz Franchise Brands, Josh graduated from the University of Lynchburg with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing. In Josh's free time he enjoys playing golf and going fishing with friends. A fun fact about Josh is he has played competitive golf for a good part of his life.

Why We’re Lucky to Have Josh On Board

Josh works closely with the franchise development team on territory mapping, and recently spearheaded a mapping software update. Throughout the process, he showed patience and kindness with the abundance of questions people threw his way.

His diligence and attention to detail have kept both franchisees and the corporate team organized and on track for successful signings and launches. Josh’s calming presence and friendly face are also a wonderful addition to the office, especially amidst so much busy growth and development. His combined strengths of being a hard worker, process-oriented thinker, and kind and collaborative energy come as no surprise. This past fall, our company took the Clifton Strengths assessment, and some of his top strengths are ‘Achiever’ which is a sign of a hard worker, ‘Harmony’ which falls in the relationship building bucket, and ‘Analytical’ which falls in the Strategic category. This skill set has been a wonderful blend for making the perfect teammate. 

Here’s what one of Josh’s coworkers had to say about him. "Josh has been instrumental to the franchise development team's strong start so far in 2022. He's eager to help, a quick learner and willingly takes on more responsibility. From territory mapping to preparing franchise agreements and from organizing weekly team meetings to making lead qual calls, he's really doing it all to make BFB successful, living our value of Act with Purpose. He even has been helping out the British Swim School team with updating the Item 19 for the FDD renewal - in the spirit of Empower and Serve."

Get to Know Josh Better

Here are a few insights from Josh's life to help you get to know him better:

If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you get? Pizza because you have endless options. 

If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go and why? Italy because I want to see the Amalfi coast and the food is great. 

Are you a morning or night person? I’m definitely a night person. 

We are so grateful to have Josh on board as part of the franchise development team, and look forward to seeing him continue to grow alongside the company. Way to go, Josh!
