Traction & EOS® Company

Many small businesses fail because they get stuck in problems stemming from: not having proper goals in place, not tracking progress towards goals week to week, having the wrong people in the wrong seat, and having the same problems constantly repeat themselves. At HorsePower Brands, we subscribe to the "Entrepreneurial Operating System" (EOS®) philosophy, as popularized in the book Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business. EOS® isn’t a computer operating system. It’s a people operating system that harnesses human energy through a simple set of tools and principles. With this, we're able to solve issues before they become problems, get the right people in the right seats, make meetings so productive that you actually look forward to them, and build a culture of accountability.

Every new franchise owner is trained on this model and given the 5 Foundational Tools of EOS® to help get strong in the six key component of their business - Vision, People, Data, Process, Issues, and Traction - to start your business with a foundation of simplicity, focus, clarity, and team health from day one.

Simplifying Business Ownership

HorsePower Brands is committed to

HorsePower Brands is focused on empowering entrepreneurs to achieve their why through franchise ownership in the home service industries. The company is committed to simplifying business ownership.

We believe the following three elements makes HorsePower unique:

Zee Services

HorsePower Brands has built a customized platform designed to offer solutions to common business problems. We call it ZeeServices and the platform offers solutions for marketing, communication with the customer, recruiting employees, benefits for owners and their employees, technology, business intelligence, fleet procurement, funding strategies, bookkeeping and strategic partnerships.

Strategic Asset

Data remains a strategic asset for HorsePower Brands and the future of the home service industry. The initiatives, both short term and long term, demand a commitment from franchisees and the entire system to share data through out the customer journey. Being able to leverage the information accumulated about each home with measurements, pictures, warranties and many more aspects, will provide the franchisees of HorsePower Brands a unique advantage among its competition.

HOWIE Connection

The family of brands presents an opportunity for the franchisee to consider ownership of many brands in their local community. The brand that brings it all together is Howie. Howie officially launches in 2024 and will be the catalyst for certain markets to cross market across multiple brands. The advantages of Howie include homeowner confidence and trust, cross promotion and marketing and innovation in a frictionless customer journey.
