Situation
We have found that most franchisors are great at teaching franchisees the “How-to” of the business.This usually involves in-depth training so they can master key technical and operational skills (for example, how to run a quick-serve restaurant, print or delivery shop), taught over a period of a week or more at Franchise headquarters.
What happens when your franchisees leave HQ and begin operations? What challenges will they face? And how will you continue to help them be successful- in turn making you more successful?
Franchisor Challenges
- Communicate information about new products, programs and processes
- Refresh and remind franchisees on your business procedures
- Keep company mission and values at top of mind
- Deploy training quickly
- Do it cost-effectively
Franchisee Challenges
- Lack of basic business skills
- 700-page operations manual for reference (which usually sits on a shelf somewhere)
- No time for continuing professional development
