busy time of year for many in business and franchising!

With around 100 franchises on display at the end of March at the Sydney Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo, no doubt the first half of April has been a very busy time following up and talking with many people who expressed interest in a franchise.

Same goes if you were there and expressed interest in some brands, you will have been busy fielding calls and contacts no doubt!

There aren’t many instances where you can approach a smorgasbord of opportunities and talk in detail — so I love the expo concept.

And then there is the recent Federal Budget and all the noise that goes with that.

If you’re in business, or about to be, maybe that $20K immediate tax write-off will give you the ability to invest in some much needed equipment to help you do what you do better.

Wherever you are at, and whatever you are doing, we hope you enjoy this edition!

Cover Story

How to Make Sure Your Marketing Works in ANY Business

We thought it is time to check in again with one of Australia’s leading marketing experts, John Dwyer (JD), the founder of The Institute of Wow, and especially prominent for his genius in securing Jerry Seinfeld for his client, The Greater Building Society. The state of marketing in business was our focus.

hen prompted on the marketing he sees daily in his travels, JD isn’t backward in his views.

“Retailing, in general, is still living in a sea of sameness. Like living in a time warp. Very few are changing tack or rebranding to take advantage of the new world in business.”

He continued to elaborate, “The old ways of marketing are ineffective. Given that the ways we communicate have changed dramatically over recent years, with online and offline marketing messages flashing at us all daily, we are bombarded with an excess of 3,000 of these a day. Yet, we ignore 99% of them! They are invisible to us because they 4

are lame and boring and lack the necessary ingredients to capture our attention.”

A Franchise Example

In his recent travels, JD detailed a prominent franchise brand that has taken a strong, effective action recently.

“I’m a big fan of what Michel’s Patisserie has done recently. They recognised the need to exaggerate their brand culture and made it an actual patisserie. They recognised that ‘theming’ is important to a brand just as Disney does, for example, with all of its properties. This theming allows them to differentiate their offer from competitors and stand out clearly in their marketplace.

www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

Cover Story I would barely have noticed a Michel’s Patisserie amongst all the other similar-type businesses in a shopping centre previously, but now with a well-constructed, themed approach that is consistent with their brand position and culture, they have clearly separated themselves from the ‘sameness’ competitors.”

One-Size-Fits-All Approach to Marketing

JD explains that, when broken down, the ideal marketing model is essentially the same for any business regardless of size. He calls this framework his ‘Wheel of Wow’.

“You can take my ‘Wheel of Wow’ and apply it to your business today — no matter the size of it. However, be certain to be really honest with yourself about it. You may well have a loyalty program, for example, BUT do you and your staff fanatically drive it with your customers?

My point is, you cannot just tick off a ‘yes’ to having a loyalty program to drive repetitive trade (one of the parts of the ‘Wheel of Wow’) if you do not drive it hard at the transaction/service level consistently.”

The ‘Wheel of Wow’

l WHO Who is your target audience? l CREATE A WOW Take their eyes off the price.

l USE PROBLEM/SOLUTIONS ID their problem and provide the solution (your product). l BE DIFFERENT ONLINE Create (have) a direct response website.

l BUILD REPETITIVE TRADE Keep them coming back again and again.

In explaining these in more detail, JD gives us further insight into his unique yet formulaic approach.

“Extensive research in your audience should always be the trigger for the changes you make. Thus, the first step in the ‘Wheel of Wow’ is to find out who your most profitable customer is (and then look for more of them).

Then create a wow, which could be new look (such as Michel’s Patisserie have done), a new offer, a new product or even just a new way to present an existing product in a much better way.

Then adopt the problem/solution mentality to all of your marketing. In Michel’s Patisserie case, it is a nice environment to enjoy your coffee and cake.

The fourth part of the ‘Wheel of Wow’ is to ensure that your online presence reflects this new ‘wow’ you have and does what it is supposed to do in benefit-based headlines and testimonials encouraging customer patronage/ purchase as well as, crucially, a data collection process to be able to contact customers with offers.

The fifth part of the ‘Wheel of Wow’ is to generate repetitive trade. The most efficient way to do this by far is to get customer contact details, so you can send them offers. I’m simply stunned at how poorly this final piece of the wheel is done by the smallest to the largest retailers.”

This final point from JD is probably the one that shocks him the most. When pressed further on the significance of this lack of data collection, he says very confidently “...that over 95% of all retail businesses fail to collect data — absolute madness.”

Are Your Customers Crazy?

For far too many salespeople, customers can be and are experienced as crazy, mysterious creatures, according to Trent Leyshan. He tells us that only through a well thought-out and structured engagement process will you be able to eliminate ‘the crazies’ and achieve enhanced performance and greater results.

o your salespeople sit back at drink o’clock on a Friday afternoon and share war stories of the ones that got away?

FRANCHISE BUYER

April-May 2015

Are your salespeople, more often than the sales manager probably cares to admit, left scratching their head, as customers appear to operate by their own rules and have complete disregard for the salesperson’s best interests and good intentions?

To some, this question, ‘Are your customers crazy?’, may seem a little perplexing, perhaps crazy itself at first glance.

However, I’ve drawn the conclusion that, for far too many salespeople, customers can be and are experienced as crazy, mysterious creatures.

I’ve lost count of the number of stories spat from the lips of frustrated sales professionals. Some stories include clients fabricating obscure stories in attempts to wriggle out of contracts after agreements have been made, deposit cheques bouncing and prospects defying physics and

www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

vanishing into vapour after months of cajoling, pre-sales and proposal development. Sound familiar?

Well, let’s explore these apparently strange happenings further shall we?

With a stiff drink and further analysis with your colleagues at Friday drink o’clock, you realise that the same scenario is playing out with all the other salespeople as well.

‘Thank God!’ you proclaim. ‘It’s not me, it’s them! The customers are bloody crazy!’

Most Sales Pipelines Are Full Of Crazy Customers When I exclaim ‘crazy’, I mean those potential buyers that have no intention of ever buying from you or your company. They may buy something similar, even identical to your product or service offering, and pay more for it elsewhere, but they will never buy it from you, ever. Why? Because they’re bloody crazy, of course! Or at least that’s what you scoff.

Think about it for a minute, what sort of lunatic would allow you to muscle your way in cold calling and following-up relentlessly until they agreed to meet you?

What madman would then allow you to concoct a problem and then agree to you preparing an elaborate proposal outlining key points, benefits, terms and investment — at your company’s expense? And what maniac would then agree to you coming back and presenting to all the key stakeholders only to leave you hanging for months with no intention of ever buying from you? This type of behaviour is just pure madness! Madness I say!

Of course, let’s not forget, it is especially rare for a prospect to ever give you a cold, dead ‘no’. More common in sales is the warm but insidious ‘maybe’, which transforms you into nothing short of a salivating car-park stalker, ringing, leaving messages and emailing relentlessly with the hope of getting a ‘yes’.

Alas, until finally, with a despondent sigh, your hope of making the sale dissipates. You realise in your anxious state, and countless promises to your manager that it’s a ‘done deal’, that it’s been six months since the prospect returned even one phone call. ‘Hmmm … perhaps they’re not interested?’ you ponder. ‘But how could that be? Look at all the work they asked me to do. This doesn’t make sense!

Why does this keep happening to me? I could have been putting my energy and resources towards real customers, not these lunatics that keep wasting my time!’

To the uninitiated, customers can often appear random and unpredictable creatures. In old-school traditional selling vernacular, it was commonly suggested that ‘all buyers are liars’. This philosophy can at times resemble truth, but only when the salesperson fails to acknowledge who the right customer really is and what they need and really want.

If the customer tells you one thing then does another, this is usually to alert you that you have not identified the appropriate motivational factors and not leading the customer through the right process. In the right process, the buyer is a person who has a genuine problem you can solve or desire you can help fulfil and feels very comfortable at each stage because your communication styles are aligned and you’re supporting and guiding the customer as you move through each logical phase.

We have all heard the saying a thousand times, people buy from friends, not salespeople. Customers buy friends first. This maxim underscores the need to invest time and energy into understanding their customers better and developing the relationship first. You then fiercely guard your time, invest wisely, as its limited.

This is best achieved via a well thought-out and structured engagement process for greater clarity and efficiency that eliminates ‘the crazies’ along the way. This will lead to enhanced performance and greater results.

This is an excerpt from Trent’s first book ‘The Naked Salesman’.

Business 101

Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Franchise

Buying a franchise can be an exciting time, even for the seasoned businessman, but don’t get caught up in the excitement and go into the purchase with your eyes closed. Brokers will pitch a franchise to you and sell it on its positives. Here are five things you should consider before buying a franchise.

By Emma Webb

1

It will be hard work.

When deciding to buy a franchise, it can be easy to believe the misconception that it will be easy. After all, the system has been set up; all you need to do is follow it.

Owning a franchise can take just as much work as a stand-alone business. You will still be responsible for the majority of issues that occur in the business, including staffing, cashflow and disputes, and you will be responsible for the overall success of the business. Just because the system has been set up does not mean the business will automatically be successful.

2

You will not be your own boss.

You will still have a boss, the franchisor, and they will outrank you when it comes to decision-making about your franchise. While the training and support can be beneficial to your business, a franchise can also be restricting, and many believe that, because they have bought the business, they should be able to run it their own way. If this sounds like you, perhaps franchising is not for you.

3

There are hidden costs.

When buying a franchise, you are not just buying a business and signing a lease. Ensure that you are aware of all ongoing costs before you sign a franchise agreement and account for those throughout the term of your lease. Along with the usual costs of running a business, you will also have to pay franchise fees, which can be different for each franchise system.

4

It can still be risky business.

You may feel as though buying a franchise is not as big a risk as starting your own business. Yes, you may have ongoing support throughout the term of your franchise, but you are also reliant on other franchisees’ and your franchisor’s reputation. If they fail, chances are

you will fail as well, so it is important to choose a strong brand with a good reputation and with staff that will work with you to help you succeed.

5

What do others think?

You may love a franchise brand and believe you have chosen the right franchise and territory, but do others feel the same? Speak to your friends and family and, if possible, past and present franchisees to gauge whether or not your brand will succeed. It can be easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of buying a franchise, but it is important to listen to outsiders to see whether your franchise would succeed. Don’t limit it to your close friends, and they may tell you what you want to hear.

Attend as many networking events as you can to truly understand what the public wants and whether your franchise can deliver it.

Finance

Funding a Franchise Facelift At the end of a franchise term or lease, it is common for a business to undergo a refurbishment. This is to ensure the franchise brand is represented in the best way and keeps shopping centre managers happy as well. Franchise Buyer speaks to CashFlow It® director James Scurr about finance options when it comes to refurbishing your franchise.

F

ranchises typically undergo a refurbishment when a lease or franchise term expires, which is usually between 5 and 7 years. This can be anything from a coat of paint to a complete fitout, as franchisors continually upgrade their image.

While this can be beneficial for a franchisee, it can also be costly, and according to CashFlow It® director James Scurr, it is important to do your research before signing up for finance.

“When a refurbishment is approaching, franchisees need to consider how they are going to fund the cost,” James says.

“The most obvious ways to do this would be using the business’s cash reserves or cashflow, applying for a bank loan

16

FRANCHISE BUYER

April-May 2015

or using other funders who specialise in franchise equipment and fitout finance. Or, it may be a mix or variation of all of these options.”

Franchisees need to account for the cost refurbishments throughout the term of the lease, according to James, who says it is unusual for franchisors to fund the refurbishment themselves.

“Nearly every franchise agreement I have ever seen has a provision for the franchisee to undertake a refurbishment at some point in time,” he says.

“This is a cost that the franchisee needs to budget for, as it would be very unusual for a franchisor or landlord to contribute to the refurbishment cost. Although I have

www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

Finance

worked with a client before, where a small sum was being contributed to the refurbishment by the franchisor, this is definitely not the norm.”

James says that while turning to a bank to finance, a refurbishment may be common; it has positives and negatives.

“In a lot of instances, a bank may be able to offer the best interest rate, but the rate is just one consideration you should assess when looking at your options,” he says.

“It’s no good getting a loan for the lowest possible rate on a product that doesn’t suit your business’s circumstances.”

“Like any application for finance with a bank, be ready to provide a lot of supporting information for your loan to be assessed. I see many clients coming through my business for the simple reason that they see the requirements of their bank as too onerous, and they just want a fast, simple solution.”

“If you are looking for funding for a franchise refurbishment, then chances are you previously had a bank loan to fund the initial purchase. If this is the case, then it is probably paid out or close to being paid out in line with your lease or franchise agreement renewal.”

Like any application for finance with a bank, be ready to provide a lot of supporting information for your loan to be assessed.

“Franchisees need to choose a funding solution that best suits their needs. They need to take a number of factors into consideration like if and when they plan to sell the business, tax advantages of the different types of funding products, profitability of their business and flexibility of the various funding products, to name a few,” he says.

“For example, an instalment loan from your bank may offer the lowest repayment, but its tax advantages are limited when compared to, say, a rental or operating lease where typically the entire repayment is a 100% tax deductible expense of the business.”

“Similarly, if you are considering selling your business in the near future, then you may want a more flexible product that can easily be assigned to your prospective buyer. This can even assist in selling the business by offering the prospective franchise an avenue for taking over the contract, hence reducing the amount of capital they may need to come up to purchase the business.”

“There are lots of scenarios to consider, so my suggestion would be to call a few funders to get quotes and information on the products offered, and then if you feel you need a better understanding of the options, then speak with your accountant.”

“Some franchisees may feel a little relief that their home is no longer on the line as security for the bank. Other specialist equipment and fitout funders may not require you to put your home up as collateral, so this may be a more appealing option for franchisees.”

However, interest rates and security are not the only two factors to consider when researching finance options, says James.

The site has been developed to make the process easier for aspiring business owners by helping them to identify the key factors and attributes required for success in franchising as well as pointing out potential traps and hazards franchisees might encounter along the journey.

“We are very excited to be one of the first franchising sites in the country to have this level of functionality and knowledge on our own website,” says Peter Fiasco, Franchise Development Manager at Hairhouse Warehouse.

Peter adds, “The new website now gives potential business owners the edge they have been seeking in making the right decision and achieving their dream of owning their business sooner.

Legal

Settling a Franchise Dispute Franchise disputes can be common and franchisees can often feel trapped in a system that is not working for them. While it can be difficult to have a franchise system changed, franchisees should not feel as though their complaints will go unheard. There are three main options for resolving franchise disputes, from a simple conversation to a lengthy court hearing.

By Emma Webb

Communication is Key

Mediate

To the Courtroom

The first thing a franchisee should do if they feel they are being hard done by is tell the franchisor. The Franchising Code of Conduct states that, when a franchise dispute is occurring, the party with the dispute must write to the subject outlining the complaint. Be clear in what you feel the outcome should be and how you feel a resolution can be obtained. Offer to meet with the franchisor to discuss any disputes and make sure you views are heard. It can often be beneficial to obtain an outsider’s point of view before contacting the franchisor to ensure you are not overreacting or being unfair. Listen to the franchisor’s views as well and try to come to an agreement before the dispute escalates.

While a mediator’s recommendation is not legally binding, mediation can be a great way of reaching an agreement with your franchisor. If one party requests mediation, it becomes mandatory that the other party attends. Mediators are a third party that are completely unknown and removed from both the franchisor and the franchisee and can provide a fresh point of view and give helpful suggestions on how a resolution can be reached.

If mediation is unsuccessful and you feel strongly enough about your claims, you can take the franchisor to court.

This can be a costly exercise, and if you fail, you may have damaged your relationship with the franchisor beyond repair. This may also limit your success in buying another franchise and can damage your reputation. Do your research first and obtain legal advice before heading to the courtroom.

Why the Answer is ‘Cafe2U’ in Mobile Coffee Cafe2U has established itself as a leading mobile café brand, its General Manager, John Stanton, tells us how they have achieved that status.

A

100% Australian-owned company, Cafe2U is a pioneer in the mobile cafe industry, with its first van launching in Sydney in 2000. As the world’s largest mobile coffee franchise, with 160 franchises in Australia and a further 85 worldwide, Cafe2U provides opportunity and support for entrepreneurs who deliver fresh espresso coffee and a full range of cafe-style drinks (including smoothies and frappes) and an extensive food assortment (such as cookies, muffins, breads, sandwiches, wraps, pies, rolls, yogurts and salads).

Franchise Buyer recently asked John Stanton, General Manager of Cafe2U, three big questions regarding the secrets of the company’s success. John is more than happy to share what they have been doing in the last 15 years to achieve and maintain their position, as he is firm in his undertaking of Cafe2U as ‘the world’s number 1 mobile coffee franchise’.

Why do you think Cafe2U has been so successful?

Above all else, it is our ‘no compromise’ commitment to quality. The focus was always to be the best rather than the biggest in mobile cafe. Having the standout offering and then backing it up with ongoing support has seen Cafe2U become the clear leader in the sector. The Mercedes vehicle, Cafe2U branding and commercial equipment and fitout are just the start. Combined with our multi-award-winning coffee blend, our highest-quality training and operational support staff and our marketing focus, we attempt to leave no stone unturned and ensure our franchisees have every possible chance of success.

What sets you apart from other mobile coffee franchises?

Our quality focus has led to us becoming far larger than any other mobile cafe franchise. The system has now been proven over 160 times across Australia and more than 250 times globally. Our size gives our franchisees a huge competitive edge when it comes to purchasing agreements, marketing, backup support and event sourcing. The Cafe2U head office is full of long-term employees that have now gained many years of experience in the industry. There is no 20

scenario that our team has not seen before. We use this collective experience to provide solutions to any issues our franchisees may come across.

Why do you think a Cafe2U franchise provides value for money in terms of buying a franchise?

In terms of a business investment, the Cafe2U startup cost of $129,990 + GST is relatively low. When you consider the bulk of this is made up of vehicle and equipment, it also becomes a very easy business to finance into — you are not throwing huge amounts of money at intangibles. The business model allows you to run everything from home. You will not be faced with the cost or complexity of staff, rent or landlords if you choose to run as an owner/operator. This in turn leads to very low running costs. Finally, there is the flexibility that the business provides. We have some franchisees that work Monday to Friday and complete their run by midday each day. Others choose to chase lucrative weekend event work, which can significantly boost earnings. It is entirely up to the franchisee and what they are looking to achieve from both a financial perspective and a lifestyle perspective.

he stars and celebrities of the franchising world were out in force at the Sydney Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo, sharing expertise, knowledge and, of course, the chance to be a part of their success story.

Pippa Hallas from Ella Baché, Sara Pantaleo from La Porchetta, Elaine Jobson from Jetts Fitness, Lee Moore from Poolwerx, Dr. Sam Prince from Zambrero and even twotime gold medal Olympian Michael Diamond representing See Thru Cleaning all were on hand to meet visitors and discuss the ins and outs of being your own boss with the backing of a tried and tested brand.

Held at the Royal Hall of Industries at Moore Park last 27–29 March 2015, the Expo featured a wide range of franchising and other business opportunities, from G-Force’s virtual racing car or Monkey Mania’s children’s play centres to customised mobile phone covers at The Kase or cafés like Degani, The Coffee Club and Coffee Emporium. The Malaysian Government also brought a dozen companies to Sydney with an exciting range of business ideas.

The Sydney Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo is the first in a series of three expos held annually around 22

Australia. The next show is in Brisbane 18–19 July followed

by Melbourne 21–23 August.

As in previous years, the free daily seminar sessions were a popular feature, with many visitors taking advantage of the chance to hear presentations from franchisees, franchisors, consultants and other business experts. This year, there was also the Business Soapbox, giving leading as well as upcoming brands the opportunity to explain their concepts and business structure.

High-profile women such as Ella Baché CEO Pippa Hallas, La Porchetta CEO Sara Pantaleo and Jetts Fitness General Manager Elaine Jobson gave motivating and inspiring presentations at the seminar sessions, proving just how far women can go as entrepreneurs. “I believe women really can have it all — work, family and personal life — but they just have to let go of the idea of doing it all, and delegate wherever possible,” Hallas told seminar attendees.

DC Strategy’s CEO Suzanne Jarzabkowska also gave a powerful presentation titled ‘What it takes to build a $50 million franchise business — a holistic approach’, while Darryn McAuliffe advised visitors on how to obtain finance for franchise businesses.

Show

Exhibition Manager Fiona Stacey says the historic venue provided a great ambience, but what really made the show stand out was the quality of the exhibitor’s stands. “There were some very impressive stands this year,” she says.

“Visitors enjoyed checking out the various vehicles — from New York Slice’s authentic New York Taxi and G-Force’s racing car to a range of mobile businesses like HydroKleen, Xpresso Mobile Café, Dream Doors, VIP Home Services, Jim’s Test & Tag and Wheel Change U.” “Overall, the stands were colourful, dynamic and professional; you could see how much effort and energy went into their design.” The preparation and effort paid off for exhibitors, with most reporting a very successful show.

“It was our first show in some years and we weren’t sure what to expect,” says Danny Messenger from Lenard’s Chicken. “We were

hoping for five strong leads from the show, but we’ve ended up with more than 40 goodquality people to follow up. Some were very keen and wanted to pack up our stand and take it with them!”

First-time exhibitor Fadi Barsoum from Zambrero says nobody expected to have so many enquiries, with the team taking home more than 90 strong leads. “We were impressed by the quality of people, they were very serious and ready to invest,” he says.

John Bozuwa first exhibited 30 years ago, franchising a business he bought for $1000 called Mobile Plastic and Vinyl Repairs.

“I sold three franchises that weekend, and within 18 months, I had 26 franchisees,” he reflects. “After five years, I sold the business for $1.3 million.”

This year, Bozuwa was representing his son’s business Bozzy Shade Blinds and enjoyed sharing his passion for franchising with show visitors. “I just love talking to www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

Derek Lilley and Cam Hadlow from Dream Doors celebrated their first anniversary at the show — the New Zealand-based company premiered at the Sydney Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo in 2014. Since then, they have grown the business with 12 franchisees in 12 months.

“It simply would not have happened without the Expos,” says Lilley. “We found two franchisees in Sydney, one in Melbourne and three in Brisbane, with a few more strong leads we are still talking to. The shows really gave us the momentum to be established in Australia.

Fiona Stacey says organisers are gearing up for an exciting two-day show in Brisbane this July. It will feature a mix 24

Franchising

The ‘No Brainer’ to Franchise Success

You conducted your due diligence on your franchise system, you went through a lengthy assessment process, you went through the training and you probably paid what amounts to a whole lot of money for you. You finally get in your business and, of course, you want it to all start coming together and the profits to start rolling in.

By Glenn Walford The ‘No Brainer’

Before you go any further, there is one thing you must be certain of if you are to reach the maximum potential of your franchise. Are you an owner that is prepared to connect and engage in deep collaboration with your franchisor?

In the pursuit of franchise success, this is the most important of all questions. It is a question that only you can answer, but it must be answered with all honesty, as the proof will be in your actions that follow.

So Simple That It Most Often Becomes Complicated

It is true that this critical factor in success is so simple that it often becomes complicated. You see that the more people look for solutions and principles to grow a franchise business they begin with an approach that “surely the answers to the stronger performance of my business must be more sophisticated than that”. No, they do not need to be, and mostly they are not.

To be honest, often the problem is that the performance solution of ‘connect and engage in deep collaboration’ places the onus firmly onto you, the franchise owner, to drive this process and relationship. Thus, it can often be a difficult solution to accept.

You as the Franchise Owner Must Drive the Process

As a franchise owner, as a minimum, you will always get the level of support that is stipulated in the respective agreements they were entered into when you bought into 26

FRANCHISE BUYER

April-May 2015

the franchise. However, in order to realize the absolute maximum potential of your business, you need more involvement and support from your franchisor than just the minimum.

Franchisors have to prioritize resources and you put yourself at the top of the priority list if you are driving a deeply collaborative relationship with your franchisor.

Essentially, you increase your chances of support over and above the standard. Besides, it is also consistent with human nature. We all like to work with engaging people.

How Do I Do This?

Connect — The first step is to announce your intentions and draw a line in the sand with anyone you have direct contact with about your plans and how you have appreciated and will continue to appreciate their support.

Engage — The second step is to bring those same people in on your plans for your business and request their input into your strategies. You are turning the tables, as you are getting ‘buy in’ from your franchisor and not the usual other way around that they would be used to. You are changing the psychology here.

Deep Collaboration — The result of the first two steps is being in a committed ongoing relationship where you involve them heavily and continually in your plans. You are responsive, appreciative, respectful and supportive of them in their efforts.

Adopt this as a culture and attitude within your business and you will reap the rewards.

10 Profit Prodders

for You in Your Franchise

S

ometimes it can take just one statement or observation about ourselves or our business to make all the difference. It may be something that is said that for some reason just really resonates with you by fitting right into your thinking at that particular time.

A saying I like and have heard often is “It takes the right message from the right person at the right time for you”. If all these factors come together, then a significant change for the better can occur for you in your business. I hope that at least one of the thought provokers below can do just that for you.

By Glenn Walford

1

5

Thrive, Not Survive. Forget about all the talk of survival.

Settling for anything less than thriving is not worth the risk of going into business for.

2

Invented and Intended to Get. Keep focused on attracting more of the customers that your franchise system and business was invented and intended (I&I) to get — your niche target market. Wishing and chasing for more outside of this is an advanced strategy only for once you have all available I&I.

3

Prosper, Not Perspire. You bought into a franchise system.

Now use every bit of it to help you prosper in it. Don’t perspire in it instead by making it all revolve around you.

4

Perspire Equals Expire.

With you carrying your business everyday by doing most of the work, you have a limited lifespan in it before resentment and frustration push you to want to rid yourself of it. A resentful, frustrated seller is destined to lose one way or another.

Franchise Fence. To the franchisor, success = the franchisee taking hold of and driving their business. To the franchisee, success = the franchisor providing exceptional support and activities that drive customers to their business. It just depends on which side of the fence you are on. Who is right and who is wrong — it doesn’t matter, just make sure you are exhausting every opportunity to thrive.

6

Built by You to Replace You. Choose the right people to run the system of your business and build their skills and abilities to exactly match yours in the business so they can replace you. Don’t hold skills back, as they will either lack what you need them to have to run your business system or they’ll go elsewhere for that opportunity.

7

When You Can’t Control, Confront. Don’t ever become a victim of circumstance. Some things you can’t control, but you can control how you react. Confront them head on by maneuvering your business and strategies any way you can to minimize impact and gain advantage.

Glenn Walford is the founder and editor of Franchise Buyer. www.franchisebuyer.com.au

www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

8

Your ‘What If’ Sights. Find and start training another person in your team in the event a ‘what if ’ situation occurs. Create backups for your backups so it doesn’t ever all fall back on you.

9

Franchise Drift. Comfortable is dangerous, and being within a franchise system often makes people comfortable. A false sense of security is felt when you are comfortable, and before you know it, your comfort becomes chaos, as escalating costs that you didn’t notice erode that cushion of comfort.

10

Pride Prevents Profit.

Pride is the great danger in franchising driven by emotion. Eliminate emotion out of the equation and do only what is right for your business. You must clearly distinguish between what is good for your business against the pride of your ego. Identified by statements that end with “It’s the principle of it”, so if you hear yourself mutter those words, be prepared to cost your business in some way.

If you give some thoughts to how each may apply to you in your business, you may well find that one or more will hit a particular spot with you.

New Initiatives in Franchising: Speakers Announced for June Franchise Forum

By Kate Groom, Co-founder, Franchise Accountants Network

I

f you are involved in the business and financial aspects of franchising, the Franchise Accountants Forum is for you. This unique event will focus on the financial aspects of Australian franchising.

The Franchise Accountants Forum came about as a result of the work Peter Knight and I do in the franchise sector. We hear so often that financial matters are at the heart of franchising, and people with financial responsibility play a key role in the success of franchises. We agree!

So, in 2014, we established the Franchise Accountants Network (FAN), a group of independent accounting firms who share a common interest in franchising.

Although there are many franchise events, so far, there has not been one that is focused on the financial aspects, with attendees who have a common interest in that area. We have fixed that!

In February this year, some franchisors came along to one of FAN training sessions. They said they would like more like it, specifically for them.

Kate Groom is the cofounder of Franchise Accountants Network and Smart Franchise, where she designs and delivers business and financial education and practical business tools for franchises.

She has worked with franchise businesses for almost 20 years, focusing on strategy, planning and

business improvement. www.franchiseaccountants.net.au www.smartfranchise.com.au
