FranConnect Webinar Library

Thanks to 900+ franchise brands and over 300,000 franchise locations using our technology, FranConnect is able to collect more franchise data than any other company in the industry. For the last 10 years, we’ve been publishing our FranConnect Franchise Sales Index Report, and now, we are pleased to share the results of our data insights related to Franchise Operations in this on-demand webinar. Our data insights were blended with the results of a comprehensive operations pulse survey taken earlier this year. During the webinar, we highlighted:

What franchisor wouldn’t want to attract successful multi-unit franchisees into their systems? Considering that there are over 43,000 multi-unit franchise owners/operators in North America who franchise 228,000 locations, it's clear why these franchisees are vital for our future; they represent over half of all franchise units in the United States - 54%. Of those successful multi-unit and multi-branded owner/operators, almost one-fifth control 50 units or more. These skilled operators bring financial resources and acumen, operational expertise, staff, and can operate at scale.

Keith Gerson has spent the better part of his 48 years in franchising focusing on how to drive top performance through coaching for improved franchisee performance. FranConnect’s research and data have found that 41% of franchisors feel that the current structure of the Franchise Business Consultant (FBC) role is failing to positively impact franchisee performance. In fact, 55% of franchisors rate their franchisee's ability to out-execute only equal to - or worse than their direct competitors in the local marketplace.

Introducing the 2022 FranConnect Franchise Sales Index Report

Are you looking for the edge over your competition when it comes to investing in technology? More important now than ever before, franchisors need to rely on new technology platforms to run efficient franchise operations in 2022.

In this recorded webinar, we go over various techniques that can be helpful when dealing with franchisees who just haven't been growing as they should be. Learn how to have your FBCs successfully coach them down the road to success. We were joined by Amy Perkins, Senior Business Consultant, at Ben & Jerry's who gave first-hand experiences on what has worked for their brand to help motivate their franchisees to perform at their peak. Viewers will gain takeaways such as:   Understanding of what motivated your franchisees to get into franchising in the first place Discovery of how you can collaboratively work together to get to the next level Learning of what to do when all else fails  

Watch as internationally recognized expert, author, and keynote speaker, Jeanne Bliss joined Keith Gerson’s on this webinar entitled Creating the Ultimate Franchisee Experience.

Many leading franchisors are realizing just how much sales technology has evolved and how it provides a wealth of options to help them realize their best results yet. To find out what technology tools are being deployed by some of the most successful franchisors in the business, we reached out to highly successful franchisors to learn first-hand what ‘tools of the trade” they are using in 2022 to achieve monumental success. Join us on February 16th, at 12:00 PM EST as our expert panelists share how they optimized performance and overcame their most pervasive sales challenges.

Do your franchisees dread your field visits? Instead of your Franchise Business Consultant going through brand consistency checklist items 1 by 1 – what if each line item could become a coaching moment? In this webinar, Jason Kealey, dissects how to redesign your field visit questionnaire to enhance the visits to your franchisee – leaving them feeling empowered and not policed.

In the words of Catherine Monson, CEO of Propelled Brands and the Chair of the International Franchise Association – “As Globalization has taken hold over the last 20 years, international growth has become a “must” for any company seeking high rates of sustained future growth.” However, as anyone who has tried to expand their brand internationally will attest, it is much easier said than done”.

If you’re part of an emerging franchise business, chances are, you’re familiar with software and other tech solutions that promise to make life easier for franchising. What you may be doing now, might be working for you at this time, but how can you be confident that it’s the right time to invest in technology? Your budget is typically lean, your team is spread thin, and it feels impossible to meet operational demands. 

"If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.” - Yogi Berra. 

  Do you use SMS text messaging as a part of your franchise sales recruitment strategy? On September 30th, 2021, the telecommunications industry initiated a new texting standard referred to as “A2P 10DLC” that will result in nearly all text messages getting caught in or slowed by spam filters, threatening to slow down your communications with prospects. But a new program has been created to help identify “safe senders” and prevent delays. Much like TSA’s Known Traveler Number (KTN) (aka Pre-Check), this new program will allow brands to apply to become “Trusted Texters.” This lets them to send texts out safely under their own company umbrella – and bypass the widespread spam net.   Watch this webinar to learn about the new standard in detail and discover how to create your own “known texter profile” within the program. Viewers of this webinar will learn how to:   Avoid being caught or slowed by spam filters Get their brand listed as a “Trusted Texter” Achieve the flexibility to text from many phone numbers to optimize branding and marketing campaigns Determine whether to register at the “Starter” or “Standard” levels

The FranConnect Franchise Sales Index has been the most trusted and reliable source of data on the state of franchise sales for over eight years. Given the volatility of change, we are offering our first ever mid-year report update.   This report, based on anonymized performance data from over 600 franchise brands, gives franchisors a distinct advantage to generate quality leads and increase sales.

Tracking the metrics through the entire lead funnel can come with its challenges and leave you with bottlenecks and ineffective processes to get the deal closed. These roadblocks can cause opportunities to get stuck in certain stages or fall by the wayside completely. Let’s get your leads moving through your entire pipeline as Kim Steenblock, a Solutions Engineer here at FranConnect, helps you identify the KPIs for effective lead funnel management and shows you how to track them through the early stages of lead engagement. During this webinar you will:

Franchise Scorecards are a simple yet powerful way to keep your franchisees on track. Done right, they are the basis for your coaching conversations. But too many franchises don’t put these tools in the hands of their consultants, and many of those who do fall into the Information Overload trap.

In the world of Franchise Development, leads from Franchise Brokers are proven to have the highest lead-to-deal conversion rate. In fact, according to FranConnect’s Sales Index, Broker leads are 5 times more likely to convert to deals as compared to all other paid sources.   But this doesn’t mean that working with Brokers is like waving a magic wand – you have to choose the right ones and work with them strategically. In this webinar, viewers will learn how best to manage their Broker relationships and stand out amongst the crowd of brands that work with Brokers. 

Streamlining operations is one of the most critical imperatives for franchisors, which is why FranConnect assembled this standout panel of Franchise Operations experts. They share data-driven insights and best practices gleaned from a lifetime of coaching franchisors on driving franchisee performance and satisfaction, ensuring franchisee compliance and creating engagement & alignment.

New research conducted by FranConnect demonstrates that low win rates for franchise development are not the result of poor lead quality, but are actually driven by challenges stemming from “speed to the lead”, low appointment conversion rates (7% on average) and appointment cancellations (40%).  Hear how sales leaders from Tropical Smoothie Cafe, TruBlue House Care, and Buzz Franchise Brands are overcoming these challenges.  

The FranConnect Franchise Sales Index is widely known as the gold-standard for data-driven insights in the field of franchise sales. This report gives franchisors a distinct advantage to both generate quality leads and increase sales, using aggregated and anonymized data from the business results of 800+ franchise brands.

With the economy poised to re-ignite, emerging and mid-sized franchise businesses face an unmatched opportunity to grow.  But without the right approach and investments, the growth will be a lot harder than you might think it will be. 

In February 2021, we conducted a survey of 200+ Franchisors about the current state of their business, including unit-level performance, franchise development, and finance. Participants included franchise businesses of all sizes from a variety of industries, including Personal Services; Quick Service Restaurants; Retail Food, Products & Services; Real Estate; Business Services; and Commercial & Residential Services, among others.

Expert franchise executives from InXpress and Best Life Brands who share case-studies on how they are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to solve long-standing issues in lead conversion from within the funnel and to reduce the number of appointment no shows.

With pent up demand and an economy poised to re-ignite, 2021 is shaping up to be a year like no other for franchise businesses like yours. The new year holds major opportunities for small and emerging brands to expand - But is your business prepared to succeed in this market? 

In terms of Franchise Development, the first half of 2021 is shaping up to be the most critical time period in the history of the Commercial and Residential Services industry. Forward-looking brands will use this time to grow their systems and outpace the competition, but the changing uncertainty makes it more important than ever to build the right sales and marketing playbook.

It has never been more important for franchise leaders to understand how they can most effectively navigate the rapidly changing economic and political landscape to drive results. FranConnect is committed to supporting the Franchise community with useful and timely resources and content, and our Franchise Sales Index is a critical analysis updated quarterly.

Now is the time for all franchisees to turn their attention to the future. How will you promote your budgeting process when forecasting the future seems impossible? This webinar tackled this challenge, starting with best practices in creating effective budgets through a replicable process that helps franchisees prepare for opportunities while dealing with continuing economic turbulence.

Did you know that speed to lead is the most important indicator of success in franchise sales? According to FranConnect’s Annual Franchise Sales Index, leads that get follow-up within minutes are 10x more likely to convert to deals. But unfortunately, only a fraction of prospective franchisees actually hear back from franchisors in the first hour.

We recently shared the results of our first-ever mid-year review of franchise sales performance across all major industries. And now for the first time, we have the performance data of the QSR & Fast Casual Restaurant segment specifically.

The pandemic has created challenges in nearly every facet of the franchise business model, franchises sales and operations, with historic precedent. 

Earlier this month we completed a survey of 200+ Franchisors to gauge the current state of the industry relative to the impact of the pandemic. Participants provided insight into a wide variety of critical topics, ranging from development to unit operations to core financials such as cash flow. The results of the survey can help franchisors understand how they compare to peers across the spectrum and within their industries and make planning decisions accordingly.

Even with the pandemic dominating conversation in the franchising community, it’s important to keep your growth engine running. Which is why we’re analyzing real-time data to help you fine-tune your strategy based on what’s actually happening across the industry. For the first time, we have done a quarter-over-quarter analysis of franchise sales data, with some surprising and critical findings.

We all experienced a massive disruption two months ago with the onset of COVID-19, but the pendulum will swing back (even if we don’t know when or how fast).And as we wait for it to do so, many business leaders are asking “when will we get back to a sense of normalcy?” But to that end, are you WAITING for the quarantine to end, or are you PREPARING for it to end?

FranConnect's Franchise Sales Index Report is the most complete and authoritative source of insight into the current state of Franchise sales. Now in its fifth year, the data reveals critical insights relevant for franchise operators looking to confront the economic reality of the pandemic.

The ultimate goal of every franchise system is to ensure that all your franchisees are successful.
