Robin La Pere, No Ordinary Business and Franchise Consultant

I am a franchise consultant ... er, BEC

My name is Robin La Pere and I’ve been working in the franchising industry now for more than 20 years.
As a franchise consultant, there are two factors that distinguish me from pretty much every other consultant I know:
  1. I have experience as a franchise manager and the owner of my own successful franchise business
  2. I don’t just push franchising as a way of expanding your business because, let’s face it, franchising is just one of the options open to you and there may be another way of expanding that will work better for you and your business
So I might more accurately be called a Business Expansion Consultant, or BEC for short. If you’d like to expand your business, I recommend you take advantage of my free Initial Consultation offer to discuss the options that may be available to you.

MY 5 BIGGEST PREDICTIONS
FOR FRANCHISING 
IN 2017/18

Will 2017/18 be a make-or-break year for franchising? 

Some pundits are predicting the end of the world — the franchising world anyway. Others are forecasting unprecedented growth. Who’s right? I’m leaning toward the second option — and that’s not just because, as a franchise consultant, I would say that.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A FRANCHISOR (EVEN IF YOU ALREADY ARE ONE)? 

There’s been a lot written about leadership. But there hasn’t been a lot written about franchise leadership. Is that because there’s no difference between leading a franchise and leading any other type of business? We believe there are some differences. So what special skills are required for franchise leadership and how can you develop these?

WHY YOUR FRANCHISE 
MANUAL IS

Nobody’s reading paper books any more. Bookshops and libraries are closing down. Everybody’s into ebooks, video and interactive digital technology. 

So why are franchisors still relying on franchise manuals, either paper-based or, nearly as bad, loads of documents plonked into an intranet? Especially when we all know that “success lies in following the system”?
