Don’t Sell. Bond.

Don’t Sell. Bond. by Steve Olson

Times have changed. 

When looking at the past in our rear view mirror, we can see that franchise recruiters could more easily capture a prospect’s attention, build camaraderie, and foster a personable connection with prospective buyers. Our sales prescription called for a dose of likeability, stir in some engaging conversations, and present a nice, pleasant personality.

The Empire Rules

Franchise Size Does Matter

I know you’ve likely heard otherwise, but trust me size does matter. If some politically correct Ms. Know It All franchise broker has told you otherwise she’s pulling your chain. Sure, there are a few David and Goliath stories out there in franchising, and like most Americans I like to root for the underdog. But bottom-line, it’s tough to go up against a behemoth franchise brand. Besides, David had God (a pretty big dude) on his side providing a serious competitive advantage.

This is an excerpt from Rebecca Monet’s most recent article The Empire Rules Unchallenged in Franchise Expo’s online resource center for prospective franchisees where she discusses the pros and cons of Stage 4 Empire franchise systems.

If you’re curious about your franchise system’s stage of growth, or what impact your stage of growth has on your franchisee recruitment we would be happy to discuss.
