Our research conducting comprehensive Franchise System Reviews and work with many franchisors, suggests an often-great opportunity to clarify the purpose of a field visitation programme. In turn, this helps create a platform for a more effective field visit programme – for the benefit of franchisors, franchisees, and field managers (themselves). Historically, it used to be …

More than 20 years ago, in my own research, a multi award- winning franchisor commented on the sometimes stark performance differential – even when controlling for other relevant factors: The new owners took it from $660,000 to $1,890,000 in less than three years. We’ve …
A franchisor leader needs to take care to be sufficiently detailed, consistent and specific in their communications and interactions with franchisees, whether by email, face-to-face discussion, presentation, agreements or follow-up. The formal nature of franchising means that detail and precision is needed. After all, franchise systems are governed by a formal framework, with the franchise …

That legitimately means the exact Franchise Support Office structure for one organisation may well differ from that of a direct competitor (of a similar size) – and for good reason. Notwithstanding, we know from our …
Field managers need to wear many hats and fulfil multiple roles. We have for many years been helping franchisors transition their field visit purpose and field manager capability toward adding a ‘Business Consultants’ role, capable of engaging with, and positively influencing, franchisees at a ‘business’ level. It is a generalisation but also a fact, based …
Field visits need to have clear objectives to maximise their potential and drive impactful outcomes. With multiple field managers, clear objectives are also important in order to deliver consistent, coordinated support and harness efficiencies (e.g., in preparation and approach). Because on field visits, like many other aspects of the business, where there are almost infinite …
