Plug and Play vs. Cookie Cutter Franchise Systems

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.

Note: This is an excerpt from Rebecca Monet’s Seizing the Opportunity article in FranchiseExpo.com.

Profile-Based Marketing

Profile-Based Franchise Marketing

Success leaves clues. Who wouldn’t want to uncover its secrets – especially when launching a marketing campaign? It’s not surprising that a behavioral scientist with a specialty in neuroscience would be fascinated with success. After all, I’ve spent the past 23 years studying, quantifying, validating and modeling the psychographic markers which create franchisee success. You might however, wonder how psychographics and neuroscience will make you a better marketer.  More importantly, how you can use these sciences to attract franchise candidates with the highest likelihood of success within your franchise system.

How vs. Who
