Franchise Partner

Open Doors Together

You have a method. You have a business model. You have a trust element. That's what a franchise partner gets. Everything else is just implementation.

The Trust Gap

You Already Have the Trust. You Don't Have the Method.

You've spent years building relationships in your city. People know you. They trust you. That's not something I can teach you, and it's not something most AI consultants will ever have.

What you don't have yet is a proven way to turn that trust into a repeatable, profitable service. Most people trying to break into AI automation are guessing their way through it, hoping something works. That's not a business. That's a hobby with better marketing.

I built a method that already works. Not in theory. In an actual company, saving actual hours, this year. You bring the relationships. I bring the method. Neither one works as well alone.

The Origin Story

Why a Stranger in Another City Reached Out First

I didn't build a franchise pitch and go looking for buyers. Someone found me first.

Twenty years ago I started selling to the world's most demanding data companies. Betting operators, gaming platforms, banks. In the last ten years of it alone, I sold over 30 million dollars of the most expensive software there is and made President's Club five times. At Snowflake, my last stop, I watched the company grow from 350 million dollars to 2.6 billion while I was there.

Somewhere in there my body started failing before I noticed. Bad kidneys, a bad liver, high cholesterol. All from stress. In the same stretch of years I lost nine people close to me to cancer.

My wife's youngest sister. A colleague I'd worked beside for years. My stepbrother.

Nine people. I had the money to stop. I didn't know how much time I had left to use it. So in April 2023 I walked away, on my own terms, at 42.

I wrote about all of it openly on LinkedIn. Not a sales page, just the truth. A month and a half ago, an entrepreneur in another city read it and reached out. He wasn't responding to a pitch. He was responding to something true.

That conversation is now a six-figure deal, verbally agreed. Not signed yet. But real enough that I know this works beyond my own city.

The Method

The Method You Won't Have to Build From Scratch

You don't need to invent a system, test it for a year, and hope it works. I already built one, proved it, and I'm handing it to you exactly as it is.

It's called the Dörröppnaren Method. Five steps, the same five every time, and here's what each one actually means for you.

Diagnose.

You don't walk into a client meeting guessing what to ask. You use the exact discovery process that already works, so your first conversation sounds like an expert, not a beginner.

Map.

You don't have to figure out where to start. The mapping process tells you, in writing, exactly which problem to solve first.

ROI Plan.

You don't have to sell on instinct or hope. You hand your client a real, ranked number, the same way I do.

Build.

You don't spend a year learning to build automations from zero. I coach you directly through builds that are already proven to work.

Handover.

You don't lose the client once the work is done. The handover process is built to keep you as the trusted local partner, not a one-time vendor.

This is what you're actually licensing. Not a philosophy. A specific, repeatable process that already removed the guesswork for me, and now removes it for you.

The Market

Your City Is Already Waiting

I'm not interested in Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Malmö for this. Those cities already have local AI software partners fighting over the same clients. I looked instead at cities of 50,000 to 75,000 people, the size I live near myself.

Ninety percent of companies in Sweden are small. Construction, manufacturing, plumbing, distribution. Nobody is calling them. Not the big consultancies, not the boutique AI shops, not anyone. That's not a smaller opportunity. It's a wide open one, in a market where you already have the relationships to walk through the door first.

I've identified roughly ten cities like this so far, matched on two things: the population range, and no local AI or automation partner already operating there. Yours might already be one of them.

A quiet Swedish town main street at golden hour — the kind of place the method is designed for. — Yours may already be one of them.

The Division of Labor

What I Do. What You Do.

This isn't passive income, and I want to be honest about that upfront.

What I Do

The technical side.

I stay on the technical side. I build the automations. I run the client meetings that need deep technical judgment. I coach you directly on how to run this in your city.

What You Do

The relationships.

You own the relationships. You bring the clients. You're the person in that city people already trust, and I make sure you have the method and the support to turn that trust into results.

Neither one of us is doing this alone.

The Economics

How the Money Actually Works

Placeholder

Franchise fee structure, revenue split, and any upfront investment required. Not yet defined by Tobias. To be confirmed before this section can state real terms.

The principle behind it: I don't sell hours. I sell results.

With my direct clients, I take a percentage of the money I save them across a year. My rule is simple: if my diagnostic can't find at least 10 hours a week worth of manual work to automate, I walk away, and it costs the client nothing.

The exact franchise numbers still need to be finalized, but that same logic, paid for value delivered, not hours logged, is what any structure will be built on.

The Objections

The Questions Before You Apply

Structure

"Is this multi-level marketing?"

Not as it's structured today. This is one method, one coaching relationship, one city.

Skill

"Do I need to be technical myself?"

No. I stay on the technical side. You need to understand your market and your clients, not write code.

Risk

"What if I don't hit results right away?"

We talk about that honestly before you commit to a city. This only works if it works for both of us.

Future

"What happens to this if AI changes?"

The method isn't built around one tool. It's built around finding where a business is leaking time and money, and fixing it. That doesn't go away.

The Fit Filter

Not Everyone Should Apply

Good fit:

You've spent years building real relationships in your city.
You want a handful of serious clients, not hundreds of accounts.
You're driven enough to run this yourself, not looking for someone to run it for you.

Not a fit:

You're looking for passive income with no real involvement.
You don't have existing relationships in a mid-sized Swedish city.
You want to compete specifically in Stockholm, Gothenburg, or Malmö.

The Close

Let's Open the Next One Together

I opened one door for myself. Walked away from twenty years in enterprise sales to build something that actually gives people their time back. Now I'm building something bigger than one city, a growing community of AI entrepreneurs running the same proven method in their own markets, backed by the same coaching that got the first one off the ground.

If that's you, let's talk.
