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.
Screw Henry Ford! We are no longer in the industrial age. Who wants to be yet another cog in the wheel?
Henry, as you know, popularized the assembly line and mass production idea. Sure, he put a lot of cars on the road and in turn got rich.
But this is the 21st century. It’s time to think plug n’ play instead of cookie cutter.
I’m not anti-assembly line but I am anti-minion, especially in business ownership. Isn’t that why you want to go into business to start with – to have more control, to have an opinion, to be unique and to express yourself?!
This is an excerpt of Rebecca Monet’s most recent article on Franchise Expo discussing the difference between a plug and play franchise and cookie cutter franchise.
Growing Pains: Seizing the Opportunity
All franchise systems go through five predictable stages of growth. Growing from one stage to another creates equally predictable changes, crises and challenges. For those that are alert to the signs of a franchise system’s stage of growth there is great opportunity. Opportunity that is – if you fit within that franchise system’s current stage of growth. If not, you can expect lots of frustration and disappointment.
