10 ways to improve your franchise

Is your franchise up to scratch? 


Here’s a checklist of ten must-have improvements I’ve worked on for franchisors over recent years. The list is by no means exhaustive – there’s lots more I could add, but I decided to limit my choice to features that are becoming de rigueur for world-class franchises, and to stop at ten.

FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT
FRANCHISE DOCUMENTS AND TRAINING
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 so many 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”?


I've produced many manuals over the years but now I’ve found a more effective approach—one that enhances franchisee training, streamlines onboarding, boosts engagement and drives performance to new heights. And it could even cost you less than updating your old manual.

FRANCHISE SYSTEMISATION
Systems: The key to more scalable and profitable franchises

These days, systems are more than just a franchise manual detailing a step-by-step guide for running a franchised business. They are the backbone of scalability, consistency and profitability. Systemisation is not just about following a formula—it’s about creating an ecosystem where franchisees have the tools, support and processes to thrive in any environment.


Franchise systems now encompass everything from supply chain automation to customer relationship management. When done right, they allow franchisees to focus on growing their business, knowing that the core operations are running like clockwork.


As a franchise consultant, I help brands build these systems—taking what’s already working in the business and elevating it. Contact me for a free, confidential consultation about better systemisation in your business.

FRANCHISE MARKETING

What’s the best way to predict franchisee performance?

Success in franchising is largely about recruiting and selecting the right franchisees. Arguably, franchisee selection is the most important decision a franchisor can make. 


So how do franchisors go about the selection process and what selection tools are on offer?

YOUR WEBSITE IS PERFECT.
EXCEPT FOR THIS 
ONE THING.

It doesn't work. 
It looks great, but it simply isn’t getting the results you hoped for.
This is the complaint of 9 out of 10 business people who work only with web designers to produce their websites.
Why? Because too many web designers are brilliant at designing websites but not so good at understanding and marketing businesses.  I’m the opposite – not great at designing websites, but good at understanding your business, your products, your customers. 
You need someone to look at the big picture, at your marketing in its entirety. You need a marketing consultant. You need me.
