MATURE FRANCHISORS

You have been operating your franchise system successfully for years and you have probably realized a lot of work goes into marketing your franchise, attracting and selling quality new franchise partners, creating franchise operations materials, franchisee support systems, and training new franchisees. And even when successful, it can be difficult to be an expert at all aspects of franchising. It often takes an outside eye to help navigate the franchise landscape and offer alternate opportunities for franchise success.

For over 20-years Upside Group has helped mature franchisors take their growth to the next level. Through our targeted marketing approaches, proprietary sales techniques, and proactive franchisee support systems we are able to help mature franchisors streamline their systems to save expenses, raise franchise unit volume and increase overall franchisee satisfaction. As a mature franchisor system, defined as a franchisor that has over 45 franchisees, you obviously have developed a system that works. You have experienced significant growth and probably have some name recognition by now. Perhaps you are even looking to expand internationally at this point.

This is an exciting time, but you are also probably realizing there are many challenges involved with managing a great deal of franchisees over a large geographical area. You might be feeling overwhelmed by all your franchise training, marketing, legal, financial, and operational obligations. You may also be navigating non-compliant or troublesome franchisees. Our franchise experts provide a variety of services that begin with evaluating your current systems, franchise success and satisfaction and finessing your operational plans, sales and development systems, real estate procedures, sales compliance, franchisee training, and franchise field support.

Our entire franchising system is guided by our overall philosophy that our franchise systems must be unique to our clients and provide measurable results. To help you grow your business, we will take a holistic approach to evaluating your current business operation and existing systems by providing you with a thorough competitive analysis, comprehensive industry report, and specific recommendations for growth strategy. In addition to evaluating your existing franchise system from the perspective of the franchisor, we will evaluate your existing franchisees’ sales, success, and operations to determine what improvements can be made to ensure better replication of your business.

While your primary interest at this point might be just to add more new franchise units, we take a more holistic approach to evaluating your current systems. We evaluate and make suggestions based on our four tracts, which include the legal, sales and development, operations, and franchisee support. In partnership with our legal experts, we will make sure that you are in compliance with all legal requirements and assist you in expanding both domestically and internationally, as laws vary from state to state and country to country. Our sales and development guidance involves working with our sales and marketing experts to train your franchise development team how to more effectively market and sell the franchise system using a variety of sales outlets and practices.

Our comprehensive operations systems are what truly sets us apart from our competitors. Using information gathered from you, our dedicated team will enhance and improve your training modules and operational deliverables, thus ensuring a more successful replication of your business model. Our support system consists of a secure client intranet portal, an exclusive community center with resources and discussion forums, and ongoing sales and support assistance. As your business continues to grow, this is essential from an organizational and project management perspective.

After performing an initial evaluation of marketing, operations, training, and staffing systems as well as competitive and financial analyses, we will make recommendations for improved components including any or all the following:

  • Improvement of referral and lead programs
  • Crisis management
  • Non-compliant franchisee solutions
  • International expansion planning
  • High-quality franchise information packet
  • Enhanced franchise brochures
  • Improved lead qualification and management
