The 5 Love Languages & Franchising.
Kit Vinson, founder and president of FranMan, joins Rebecca Monet on this episode of The Franchise Woman podcast: Where Passion & Purpose Collide.
FranMan offers two different, but related, services: custom Franchise Operating Manuals, and The Online Manual by FranMan. So yes, we discuss franchising and of course the process of creating Franchise Operating Manuals … however, the conversation takes a twist.
Listen in as Kit and Rebecca discuss the 5 Languages of Appreciation and the role they play in the franchisor-franchisee relationship. Listen in here.
