Franchisors typically provide lots of aid to their franchisees, including the following:

Training/Operations manual:

Franchisors provide their franchisees with a detailed operations manual that contains instructions for carrying out their operating system. The operations manual lists the rules, standards and specifications of the franchise as well as the specific responsibilities and tasks of the franchisor. Information such as performance/management standards, processes and protocol and employee roles is also contained in the manual. In addition to an operations manual, franchisors provide operating system and business training for franchisees. Training can take place at any location designated by the franchisor, including corporate headquarters.

After being profiled in the March issue of Franchise Times, it’s now my boss, Rob Bond, who is the franchise executive of the month in the current issue of this highly regarded magazine. As far as I can remember, it is the first time 2 people from the same company are profiled. Franchise Times surely loves us… Who doesn’t :-)

I just called a franchise company (I’ll keep the name for me) to ask them if they wanted to be listed in the upcoming edition of our top seller publication, the Bond’s Franchise Guide.

I knew I was gonna be a hard sale. I met the franchisor at the International Franchise Expo in DC a couple weeks ago and he’s one of these guys who wants the world for free.

I hadn’t had the time to tell him about the price that he went “listen, I have a great deal for you. You give me a free listing in your Guide and I’ll give you a free franchise!”.

After over 3 years in the franchising industry, my good work has finally been recognized with a special franchise executive profile in Franchise Times magazine, the most regarded franchise publication.

While this article didn’t change my life, it certainly fed my ego… haha
