Benchmarking your Franchisees for Success Are you ever:


• Frustrated by not being able to identify why some franchisees are successful and others struggle? • worried that you are not seeing growth to the next level in some of your franchisees? • irritated that when you say something, your people don’t hear you? • concerned that you don’t have any tangible assessments to coach from?


We work with franchisors to overcome issues like these through a series of benchmarking assessments. These will help you: • outline specific strengths and weaknesses in your franchisees • understand how they would like to be managed and communicated with • build a plan to maximize their strengths • understand how to minimize their weaknesses • set a benchmark to measure growth
