Now What?

Now what? is a common question we get after someone buys a business or franchise?Getting an outside agency to help with launching is sometimes the difference between sleepless nights and a NASA-style launch. Franchisors help with the processes quite a bit, but many lose sight of the real experience you’re going through. We get it. We live it. Franchisors do indeed run their own locations. But have a great deal of support from the royalties they collect. You won’t be on an island.

Are Your Customers and Staff Happy?

This photo was taken by members and posted on our franchise Facebook page. A great deal of success for any business can be found in the happiness of the employees. We get that. This is an art that so many franchisors miss. It’s the culture, silly.

We’ve had clients come to us claiming they can’t keep managers. With a few digging questions, we found out that managers had to attend 4-5 meetings with the owners per week. We’ve found dire inefficiencies like worrying more about an air conditioning bill over the customer’s happiness. Running a business is an art. And you don’t need a masters for it, you sometimes just need a nudge in the right direction.

Ummmm...yah.

Marketing from the franchisor…. but the local buy is up to you. Oops. And don’t pay the open rate!!! Too many times, we’ll see strong franchisor marketing placement messed up locally. We have been doing local marketing since 1995. We’ve made the mistakes for you already. Don’t make the ones we did over the past 22 years. You can have the best message or content but with the wrong placement or no advanced analytics, you’ll waste your money.

And if you want to try a start-up franchise, we’ll be there to help all parties involved.
