How to Find and Recruit more Franchisees

Ten years ago, when you were about to make a purchase of, say, a new TV, you would have visited a number of shops, listened to the sales pitch and perhaps even read ‘What TV?’ magazine before making your decision.

Today, you would do your research on the internet and in no-time know more about the product than most shop sales assistants. You would probably also make your decision about where to buy your TV from based on your online research and that will be partly down to how much useful information the retailer has provided on its website.

The way we buy things has changed dramatically and...

Know how and what your franchisees are doing

What is your most valuable asset? Your brand.
Who is representing your brand? Your franchisees.

So, it follows that as a franchisor it is vital to know exactly what your franchisees are doing and how they are representing your brand.
But how can you do this cost effectively? How can you get your franchisees to willingly participate in this process? And how can you keep your franchisees happy and not make them feel like big brother is watching them?
This workshop deals with these and many other thatsensitive issues are at the heart of the franchisor / franchisee relationship.

How to get the best from field visits

When you arrange visits to franchisees do you sometimes get the feeling they are really thinking “Oh here they come to drink my coffee and waste my time again”?
Are there some franchisees that you know you will struggle to find some common ground with and that the meeting will not be the highlight of your week? Field visits shouldn’t be like that should they? Well, all too often they are – but what a waste of a great opportunity for two parties who have mutual business goals to really help each other.
This workshop explains how with better communication and a little planning field visits can become a powerful and central tool for both you and your franchisees to successfully develop your businesses.

Inspire your franchisees to perform better

The smaller a business is, the more its performance will be affected by the performance of the owner. Therefore, it follows that the continued hard work and commitment of your franchisees is essential both to their business and to yours.
But people do not perform at 100% all of the time for all sorts of reasons and often need some support and a little inspiration to help them through.
This is where franchisees should have an advantage over other small businesses, because they have you to lean on.
However, providing that support and being an inspiration to your franchisees on a daily basis is, as you know, no easy thing.
This workshop will give you a better understanding of what motivates franchisees as well as some effective techniques for communicating with and enthusing them.

How to make sure that you and your franchisees avoid litigation

Is there anything more wasteful of your time, damaging to relationships and needlessly expensive than litigation that could have been avoided? Even disputes that don’t make it to the litigation stage are damaging and time consuming.

But there are simple, practical steps you can take to identify potential areas of conflict and deal with them before they get out of control.

This workshop is not about the law – it is about practical, common sense ways of preventing disagreements and minor grievances escalating in to serious disputes.

How to make sure you both get what you want from a resale

How’s this for an understatement: “A franchisor’s and franchisee’s interests aren’t always aligned when a franchise is resold – especially when it is a forced sale”. But can you manage the resale process so that both parties interests are more aligned and both see it as a mutual opportunity? Put simply, this workshop is about how to help your franchisees sell their business with the result that you are both happy with the outcome. It covers techniques for identifying problems at an early stage, managing the process and working towards a common goal.

Franchisee accounts - a powerful working tool

Working with franchisees is all about the personal relationship and so naturally, a lot of the information you gather about a franchisee’s performance is gleaned during conversations with them.
But a franchisee’s accounts provide a huge amount of valuable data which can reveal how well they are doing, how they compare with their peers and whether they are achieving their business goals.
This workshop is intended to improve your understanding of accounts, the important information they contain and how you can use that information as the basis of constructive and valuable support for your franchisees.
