That trajectory is continuing to grow. While this is terrific news for franchisors and the economy overall, a forecasted growth rate of almost 2% in 2023 poses the question: where will all these new franchisees come from?

When potential franchisees decide to enter into an agreement with a franchisor, they trust their investment will be well protected and supported. Likewise, when franchisors approve new franchisees into the system, they trust that the franchisee will adhere to all the operational brand standards, ensuring customers have a consistent experience wherever they visit the brand. Understanding the interdependent nature of the importance of trust within the franchise system is critical. Transparency and consistency are the most important aspects of trust in a franchisee-franchisor relationship; let’s take a closer look.

Perhaps even more shocking is a study conducted by West Monroe Partners, a U.S. national management consulting firm, which found that most American managers have received no management training. Such a significant gap in leadership training is alarming and paints a bleak picture of the experience for the team members working under these managers and the likelihood that they will stay with the organization.

Unfortunately, I’ve also seen many absentee franchise business operations suffer significantly because the franchisee has become too far removed from their employees, customers, and day-to-day business operations. As a franchise operations executive, this troubled me greatly.

According to FRANdata, it has become the preferred strategy for more than half (54%) of those currently in a franchised system. It’s not difficult to understand why. Not only does it make great economic sense as it’s a quicker path to generating wealth, but it often takes the owner out of the day-to-day management of one business unit and puts them into an oversight role of multiple locations. Additionally, it can help to protect and diversify your assets by splitting your financial interests across multiple sites.

Local marketing can have a huge impact on your business results when done right and does not conflict with national promotions designed by the franchisor with your marketing dollars. The best franchisees understand that less is more regarding their local efforts, and that a consistent approach is required to build customer loyalty. Choosing your programs carefully and then letting them gain traction over time is necessary to succeed at the local marketing level.

Employees are tired of working at companies that make them feel undervalued, underdeveloped, and ultimately uncared for by their managers. COVID-19 and the disruption of work patterns it created allowed people to reevaluate their working conditions and make changes based on what wasn’t working for them. While this is a good thing for employees, better aligning their values and principles with a new company, it has been tremendously disruptive for small businesses across North America. What was good enough for your employees yesterday is simply not cutting it in today’s competitive labour market, especially as industries like hospitality, tourism, and brick-and-mortar retail continue their strong recovery in the post-Covid world.

Add the complexities of trying to woo workers back to these jobs in a post-Covid world, and the situation only worsens. We’ve seen countless stories of ever-climbing starting wages, signing bonuses, and many other benefits to bring back workers. While some businesses may have deep enough pockets to compete in this nature, that isn’t the case for many franchisees who operate in these industries.

It cannot be overstated that strong community relationships lead to enhanced sales results and a more attractive employer value proposition, increasing your talent pools in a very competitive labour market across much of North America. Let’s examine why community connections matter when building sales and how they help you with your recruiting and hiring efforts.
