Franchise marketing and Franchise Sales are unique processes and should be handled by people with experience in that particular field.  Our team has spent years in the franchise and license industry, we understand how to market franchises.

We have developed and defined a specific marketing model for recruiting qualified franchisees.  The system is designed around first identifying what characteristics are essential for a particular business model in order for a franchisee to be effective and work well within the franchise company.  Selection and disqualifying those that do not fit are part of any good franchise sales model.  An aggressive and consistent franchise marketing program is also critical for a number of reasons.  Our team takes the following points into account when developing a franchise sales and marketing program:

1. Effective marketing generates leads, driving sales and top-line results for the franchisor and franchisees.  Without qualified leads there is no franchise sale.
2. Effective marketing helps maximize bottom-line gains for both franchise and company-owned units by building brand awareness from a consumer standpoint and creating a broader appeal to customers.
3. An established marketing direction provides clear focus and direction for the chain and overall system growth – every solid franchise organization has a clearly defined mission and value proposition to both the franchisees and the customers.
4. New marketing campaigns and initiatives invigorate franchisees, employees, and customers, keeping the concept fresh.  Old concepts go stale, franchisees need the newest and leading edge ideas to keep customers walking in the front door.
5. Marketing is where your trademarks, your most valuable assets, are actively put into play.  Use them correctly, and you build a powerful and valuable brand.  Use them incorrectly, and you can lose them altogether.  Our System in its entirety is dependent upon the protection and integrity of the trademarks and brand.
6. Franchise Marketing is the dialog of your most important business relationship: the dialog between your franchised units and your customers.  The Franchisee’s are the “Front Line” of your company and your brand, they deal with your customers on a regular basis and in most cases have the best understanding for what they want and need.

Our team works closely with clients to develop customized, specific marketing programs that will effectively attract, recruit and retain the right franchisees.

What good is a franchise program without franchisees?  Franchise marketing and franchise sales are the primary drivers of any successful franchise program.  The best franchise models in the world, Ace Hardware, McDonald’s, Jiffy Lube, Holiday Inn, Subway and others had the most efficient and programmed sales efforts, why should’t you?

The question typically is how do all of these franchise organizations manage their franchise sales process?  It is remarkable how many franchise systems out there, in the United States a new franchise is opened every 8 minutes of each business day, that is an amazing rate of growth!  So franchising works, I get it.  How do you find franchisees once you have gone through this process of franchising a business though?

When evaluating franchise sales, it is critical to first identify who the franchise buyer is and who we are working to sell the franchises to.  Franchise sales encompass a large array of different types of franchise offerings.  The traditional franchise is the owner operator model where typically a moderately well capitalized individual buys into the rights to run and manage a single location of the franchise offering.  This franchise sales approach is most effective when using an emotional sales presentation.  Presenting the franchise to the buyer is not about the financial details, the minutia of the business offering or other particulars, it becomes an emotional decision for the buyer to get into business on their own with your help.  Franchise sales is about creating that emotional connection with the buyer, similar to the process of selling a home, the buyer falls in love with the idea and the notion that they will be in that house, neighborhood, they picture their family being raised in that home and envision the future they will have there.  The individual franchise buyer is typically not a former executive or highly educated individual with millions to invest, it typically is just someone who wants to get into business for themselves and they know they need someone’s help doing it.

The franchise sales process is typically a 30-120 day process with a potential candidate, some take much longer.  The evaluation process takes place on both sides, the buyer judging whether the franchisor has the support, training and overall package to truly support them and the franchise sales person gouging whether the franchise buyer has the capital, experience and wherewithal to be a franchisee.

The second type of franchise sales is to sell to a multi-unit franchise owner.  This franchise offering is someone who has much more capital and experience.  In this franchise sale, the buyer purchases the franchise rights to a much larger territory with a larger responsibility.  They then are put on a performance schedule by the franchisor who establishes how many units the multi unit franchisee will be opening.  This franchise sale is a different sale than the individual franchise.  This buyer is highly sophisticated and has most likely been in franchise development before.  They look over the financials and make an investment decision based on the ROI and how quickly they will see a return on the investment.  In order to make this franchise sale the franchise system probably needs to be somewhat mature and have a really professional package to offer the franchisee, they are typically being courted by many franchise systems.  The offering needs to make sense, in many cases the only realistic way to attract this buyer is to present earnings claims and business plans, these people are making an investment when they buy into the franchise, not buying into a lifestyle.

When approaching the process of franchise sales, it is critical to have people, consultants and a system in place.  The first step is planning out the stages and carefully preparing for how to manage the influx of leads and responsibilities that come with franchise sales.  The beauty and excitement of franchising is that with each franchise sale a company is expanded.
