One of the hardest things when it comes to franchise consultants is finding the right fit for you and your business. There’s a couple of vital questions that you need to ask YOURSELF and the franchise consultant before making this important decision! When considering a franchise consultant, consider if they *actually* understand the complexities of launching and scaling a franchise system: ✅ Does the consultant understand what healthy unit economics looks like and systems to drive franchisee profitability, effective franchisee training and support and impactful onboarding that creates consistency, results and happy franchise partners? ✅ Have they grown a successful brand by selling the first franchise all the way to the 100th location, scaling systems through the 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 trap? ✅ Are they intimately aware of managing the relationship between the franchisee and franchisor in a productive and fruitful way, where you have systems in place to reward, recognize and highlight the culture and values of your brand so you, as the founder, are not getting ‘firefighting’ calls all day from franchisees? Is your franchise consultant aware of all of these complexities? If they don't or you're not too sure, get in touch with our Chief Development Officer, Travis Tinning to see if Franchise GrowthLab would be a good fit for you and your franchise 👉 https://lnkd.in/dxYXw27C #FranchiseConsultant #FranchiseConsulting #FranchiseSuccess #CFAGrowingTogether

🤔 Have you ever thought about what your 3 Wildly Important Goals are? Your Top 3 Wildly Important Goals (WIGs), may be one of the most important components of your annual strategic plan. These goals are what drive your team to success with specific and measurable numbers. Your WIGs are detailed and identified with an accountability plan and measurable metrics that can be updated WEEKLY! Progress and updates on the Top 3 WIGs should be communicated throughout your entire organization weekly to keep everyone focused and working as a team. And why choose three? Well, three goals is *just* the right number of goals! The whole purpose of a goal is to actually achieve it - having a Top 3 allows your organization to be accountable and hyper focused on the primary drivers of your business that will grow revenues and continue to differentiate your brand ahead of the competition. That’s what successful strategic planning looks like! If you’re having trouble identifying, articulating, measuring progress and executing your Top 3 Wildly Important Goals, book a call with our Chief Development Officer, Travis Tinning 👉 https://lnkd.in/dxYXw27C #FranchiseConsulting #FranchiseSuccess #CFAGrowingTogether #GoalSetting

If you are considering franchising as a possibility, navigating through the online content to find the right franchise consultant can be challenging. It’s hard to know who has real world experience, who’s been a successful franchisor or even a franchisee? (in the last decade). So how do you separate true expert franchise growth acceleration consultants from all the noise? One of the biggest questions to ask is… What is the consultant’s track record in franchising? Have they built and scaled successful franchise systems from the ground up themselves? Do they only have consulting experience or executive level experience with a big brand where they never had to create and build systems and teams from scratch?  We appreciate and value of experience at all levels, but there is a big difference when a consultant has “been there, done that” from the ground level. Our team at Franchise GrowthLab have all had experience of building franchise systems from scratch. We know exactly what it takes to build a brand from the ground up, and we understand the grit, frustration and tenacity that comes with being an entrepreneur. So when you’re looking for that person to change the route of your brand and provide intentional value to your franchise system, consider if they, themselves, have *actually* done what you’re asking them to do. If you’re looking for experienced franchisors that have *been there done that*, get in touch with our team at https://lnkd.in/g8PE8jkN Julian Deck, MSc.Patrick Wyness, CFE Travis Tinning Laia Z.

In order to have success in ANY business, there is ONE thing that everyone in your organization MUST know and have memorized… Of course, there are many things to know about running a business… 😉 BUT, the ONE THING everyone must have ingrained in their memory, impacting their day to day decisions and actions, is the most important strategic priority that will grow and evolve your brand. We call it the RADICAL FOCUS! Now, what is a Radical Focus? A Radical Focus is the ONE thing in your organization with a Critical Number (metric) that is known by EVERYONE, from the founder to your franchisees and franchisees’ employees. Think of it as a goal, the most important goal, your #1, with a specific number that is established either at your quarterly or annual strategic planning sessions. It is the combination of the singular RADICAL FOCUS and CRITICAL NUMBER that creates a unified effort with everyone consistently working towards the same end goal. This keeps your organization moving and motivated to achieve the most important, strategic outcome. The Focus and the Critical Number go hand in hand. A Radical Focus is doomed and will not energize or deliver results without a Critical Number! Some tips for creating a Radical Focus and Critical Number: ✅ At the end of your annual or quarterly strategic planning session, get alignment and clarity from your team on the ONE, most important Wildly Important Goal and Metric that will have the greatest GROWTH impact and MUST be accomplished; ✅ Take time to clearly explain multiple times the ‘WHY’ and IMPACT behind the Wildly Important Goal and Number so everyone understands its importance; ✅ Choose a goal and metric that energizes large swaths of your business, where everyone feels they can have a part (large or small) in the success; ✅ Create a themed competition to highlight the Radical Focus with a highly visual scoreboard that EVERYONE can access and highlights the status of the Critical Number vs the end GOAL; ✅ Communicate progress on the Radical Focus and the associated Wildly Important Goal and Critical Number DAILY or WEEKLY and have a big, grand PRIZE that everyone can enjoy when the goal is achieved! ✅ Make the journey towards completing the Radical Focus and Critical Number FUN! Celebrate the WINS along the way!
