There was once a franchise company, a very big ship with many years of significant history behind it. Thousands of franchisees were spread across all continents with the potential to make a major impact. But in past few years a deep rift had developed between franchisees on the frontline and the support services at headquarters, creating relational tension and operational sluggishness. The organization had many silos, and both senior executives and franchisees worked in isolation from one another. In some areas there were pockets of collaboration and entrepreneurial dynamism. In too many, however, there was fear, conflict and stagnation. These realities pose tremendous challenges to any Stage 4 Empire franchise causing one to ask: can a culture be transformed? Can a big ship be turned?
This is an excerpt from Rebecca Monet’s September article Can a Big Ship be Turned? found in the resource center on FranchiseExpo.com. […]

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.
