Schechterman Brings Extensive Sales Experience to the Role

FranFund, a franchise funding solutions provider, has named Eric Schechterman sales manager. A familiar face in franchising, Schechterman is a certified franchise executive (CFE) with the International Franchise Association and a sought-after keynote speaker. His professional experience includes sales and leadership roles with Unleashed Brands, Lander Analytics and Cintas. 

“I have always been drawn to the supplier side of franchising, and FranFund has long been a leader in the funding supplier category,” Schechterman said. “During my time with Unleashed Brands, I continued to communicate with members of the FranFund team as well as President Sherri Seiber. I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my experience and relationships to allow FranFund to continue to be the leader for franchise funding needs.”

Seiber said Schechterman’s wealth of experience in sales leadership, alternative finance, SBA lending and business development make him a great addition to the team. “Many of us have known Eric for years, and we couldn’t be more excited to officially have him on Team FranFund,” Seiber said.

Making Business Ownership More Accessible

Schechterman said making business ownership more accessible for entrepreneurs through reliable funding solutions is meaningful. “In my role leading the sales team, I have the privilege of working closely with our referral partners and aspiring business owners — helping them navigate the funding process with confidence. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our work directly supports entrepreneurs in turning their dreams into reality and drives growth across franchising.”

He also finds satisfaction as a mentor and CFE. “I have been able to work alongside and support people at all stages from all areas of franchising, including founders, owners, emerging brands and established brands. This allows me to consider all of those perspectives when working with our franchise and consultant partners.”
