Cover Story

Full steam ahead for Degani expansion Café franchise Degani has cracked the Victorian coffee market and is now an industry leader in Melbourne. Having spread to Queensland already, the brand is soon to have a presence in both NSW and Western Australia.

By Emma Webb

B

orn in the late 1990s, Degani quickly became a leader in Melbourne’s burgeoning café scene, according to the brand’s National Franchise Development Manager Martin Hesse.

“At Degani, we often had enquiry from interested parties that have seen our cafes in Victoria and want to replicate that in their home state,” Martin says.

“We now have a presence in Queensland and are soon to open multiple sites in NSW and also our first in Western Australia.”

Martin says the brand did not directly choose to expand into these two states, rather the decision was made for them.

“Obviously with our success and rapid growth in Victoria, this was always on the cards and part of Degani’s expansion strategy, but the market beat us to it and with many people from all around Australia visiting Melbourne and experiencing the café scene, we were soon taking enquiry from all states,” he says.

“In fact we also get a lot of enquiry from people who have visited from overseas and liked what they saw in one of the many Degani cafes in Melbourne.”

Martin says Degani’s point of difference is what has seen the brand succeed since its establishment, offering

something new to both consumers and franchisees.

“Degani is not a heat and serve franchise offering, which seems to attract those who need assistance and support but also those who want to put their own passion and soul into the business,” he says.

“At Degani every menu is unique and every Degani is tailor-built, so no two are exactly the same. It’s this flexibility that attracts interest. Low entry costs and royalties are an added bonus.

“Competition is when your customers can’t tell you apart from your competitors. When buying a franchise, my customers want a clear point of difference and we definitely deliver that.

“Degani has a more European feel. We actually encourage diversity and the inclusion of the franchisee’s culture into the menu. We aren’t about milkshake-sized coffee cups – we are about quality and the feeling you are eating a dish that someone actually cared about creating.

You won’t get that in a robotic franchise system.”

Training and support is not offered to Degani franchisees, it is insisted, according to Martin, who says he expects to be inundated with interest from potential franchisees once the NSW and WA franchises are up and running.

Cover Story “At Degani we take great care in ensuring that our franchisees are capable of operating a successful café,” he says.

“Our training program is run over five weeks and covers both theory and practical sessions. We also include in-store training, which everyone loves. If you want to learn to ride a bike then the best way is to actually get on a bike.

“We offer different business models to cater for different budgets and locations. Every site is different, every store is different and every franchisee has different requirements. To be successful at what we do we have to be flexible.”

It’s all in the attitude when it comes to selecting the right franchisee, according to Martin, who says service is just as important as the product you are offering.

“We look for passion – that is the key to success,” he says.

“We can train the skills needed but we can’t train attitude. A good support network helps – especially when establishing the business as you will need to put in long hours. Customer focus and service experience is also important.

“People may come into a Degani for the awesome coffee or a lovely meal, but quite often it’s how they were treated and the service they received that keeps them coming back and recommending that café to friends.”

Franchise Council of Australia announces new CEO – Damian Paull

T

he Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) is delighted to announce the appointment of Damian Paull as its new CEO. The FCA Board and growing membership are delighted to welcome Mr Paull as our new Chief Executive and very much look forward to working together to grow, promote and nurture success in the vibrant franchise sector, FCA Executive Chairman, Bruce Billson said today.

“Damian comes to the franchise sector with a sound systemsbased understanding of the shared purpose, collaboration and mutual respect between franchisors and franchisees that is at the heart of successful franchises and their capacity to support $144 billion of annual economic activity and more than 460,000 local jobs,” Mr Billson said.

“Damian is a highly regarded membership organisation executive who bring years of experience, a successful track-record of achievement and reputation for effective stakeholder collaboration and membership engagement.

“His leadership role at the Australian Retail Credit Association (ARCA) shows an ability to work with and embrace the goals of a diverse array of large and small members where views need to be distilled into a clear and coherent agenda and policy-maker engagement that is credible, considered and collegiate,” Mr Billson added.

Mr Paull spoke fondly of his five years at ARCA and excitement about his new role with the FCA as he feels that he can make a valuable contribution in implementing the FCA’s strategic agenda, lifting the profile of franchising and the FCA and helping the sector pursue a sustainable growth trajectory.

Bruce Billson (left) welcomes Damian Paull (right) to the FCA CEO position recently.

“Franchising is a very big deal in the Australian economy and draws its strengths from well-developed business models working in partnership with small and family business investors to enable enterprising people to be in their own business but not be on their own,” Mr Paull said.

“I understand how right-sized regulation and effective regulator engagement, supported by education and professional development, provide the confidence and competence to support growth, investment and job creation in a key sector of our economy.”

“Franchising is where creative ideas and innovation delivers real economic value. Working with our Board and the FCA team, my aim is to capture that spirit of innovation and creativity to deliver real value to our members,” Mr Paull added.

It is anticipated that in the coming weeks Mr Paull will begin familiarising himself with the opportunities and challenges before franchising in Australia, meet with the Board, staff and key stakeholders and be briefed on the organisation’s business plan and budget, before formally commencing full-time with the FCA later in June.

An early priority for Mr Paull will be finalising plans for the National Franchise Convention to be held in Canberra in October, implementing plans for membership growth and supporting the Board in restoring sector confidence and a sustainable FCA budget position in the wake of the impact of the 7-Eleven revelations and regulatory responses. www.franchise.org.au

Franchise Buyer Marketing – Helping match buyers to sellers of franchises

H

aving only recently released a new simplified website platform showing what Franchise Buyer Marketing does, how it does it, and demonstrating just some who have had great success with it, Franchise Buyer Marketing is focusing on refining the way sellers and buyers of franchises find and interact with each other. In the coming weeks and months Franchise Buyer “…will be embarking on the release of several new initiatives making the interaction between those who are interested in buying a franchise, with those who are selling – significantly more efficient.”

According to Founder, Glenn Walford. Stay tuned, as change is again in the wind.

answers franchisor questions on technology and the franchise relationship

A

n interactive Forum enabling franchisor executives to discuss how technology is changing their business models, is being held on June 7 th in Melbourne.

Organised by the Franchise Relationships Institute (FRI), the Forum features a combination of franchisor case studies and leading experts in omni-channel retail, digital marketing, eCommerce and the use of technology to improve franchisee productivity.

FRI’s Founder, Greg Nathan, says franchise companies have an extra layer of complexity in how they address threats and opportunities in the digital and technology space. “Not only do they need to make smart choices in the technology they use, they also have to bring their franchisees on the journey with them.

Franchisees tend to be skeptical whenever they are asked to take on initiatives involving extra cost, inconvenience or risk, and when it comes to introducing new technology, you have all three in spades” he says. “This can leave franchisors scratching their heads on how to proceed, as we all know the best strategy in the work will fail if it doesn’t have the support of the people who have the implement it.

This issue is touching all industries – not just retail.”

The Bricks and Clicks Forum includes case studies of how franchisors have introduced omnichannel marketing strategies which enables customers to interact with the brand at several touch points – some managed by the franchisor and some managed by franchisees. For instance : Glyn Parry, Head of Marketing for JAX Tyres, will explain how the JAX “Click and Fit” strategy has revolutionised the way

customers buy tyres from its franchisees, using a franchisor controlled eCommerce site.

Dominic Panetta, Head of Marketing at Howards Storage World, will discuss how a new generation customer loyalty program that integrates franchisor and franchisee delivered content, is delivering huge benefits for franchisees and customers.

David Bell, Managing Director of Kwik Kopy, and Steve Keil, Managing Director of Laser Electrical, will share their lessons introducing cutting edge technology to improve franchisee productivity – one using licensed platforms and the other built internally.

The Forum also features a range of leading Australian subject matter experts. Michael Schaper, Deputy Chair of the ACCC will talk about the implications of how franchisors are using new technology might impact on enforcement of the Franchising Code of Conduct.

Experts in digital marketing, eCommerce, omni-channel retailing, app development and logistics will also conduct break out workshops to share new trends in their areas and answer participant questions.

Greg Nathan says the big questions to be explored at the Forum include “How can franchisors ensure their brand is delivering the customer experience in fresh and relevant ways?” “What technology should franchisors be thinking of introducing?” “Who should pay for it?” and “How do franchisors ensure franchisees are using the technology effectively?” Details of the Bricks; Clicks Forum can be found at www.franchiserelationships.com www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au • May 2016 •

How I got Ray Martin to sell my home

By John Dwyer

A

bout 10 years ago, the pleasure in gaining free “publicity” was still as relevant as it is today.

If you sold a home or two, you’ll know that when a real estate agent lists ones property, it’s highly likely that the home will get the same attention from real estate agent as 100 others in his inventory.

In other words, unless the real estate agent is your brother-in-law, your home will get as much attention as all the others.

When my wife and the family moved from a New South Wales country town, Gloucester, to the Gold Coast, we gave the listing of our home to a local real estate agent.

The property was a beautiful 11.5 acre “rural oasis” with a four-bedroom ranch style, western red cedar home, together with a fourbedroom, two-story log cabin, tennis court, golf greens, a perched field den, winding creek and a multitude of surround picnic spots.

In other words it was blessed with “wow factor after wow factor!” I thought this would be any real estate agent’s “dream listing” because of its “uniqueness and picture frame attractiveness.”

However, the real estate agent treated it the same as every other of his listing and after a month also of “silence” from his end and not one inspection, I decided to pull up stamps and market the home myself. After all, I’m in the business of “marketing,” so I thought I have a better chance of doing a better job than the agent!

The agent had not even considered an aerial photography shoot, nor had he featured the “target audience” in any of his photograph. One of my pet-hates with real estate agents is the fact that they sell “ghost houses.”

Have you ever seen a home on www.realestate.com. au that has a human in any of the photographs?

Have you ever seen a home in the front window of a real estate agency that features any humans?

Probably not as for some reasons, real estate agents ignore the fact that people are attracted to people who look like 10

them – hence why it’s always important to always feature your target audience in any of your advertising…… no matter what the product or service is.

The Panadol and Nurofen headache companies know that a large portion of their target audience are mums with young children and that’s why you see mothers with little rascals giving them a headache in all of their TV advertising.

I created marketing material that was “message to market match.”

It was pretty obvious to me that the likely buyer for this idyllic “tree change” property would come from the

Marketing

Out went a media release with a difference!

“big smoke,” probably Sydney, given that it was only two and a half hours drive away (Gloucester is a gorgeous country town in the upper Hunter Valley, with the population of around 5,000). I therefore concentrated my marketing effort on Sydney, with a particular emphasis on the north shore, as the properties price tag was over $1 Million. I arranged aerial photography and video footage via a helicopter photographer and setup a website for people to get more information from. The “breakingpoint” for my relationship with the real estate agent was when after 5 to 6 weeks of no response from his marketing efforts, he suggested we drop the price to “a more realistic $650,000.”

In other words, they told us that it’s all we could get and we should be happy with that…….pretty much a “give up” attitude!

Appreciating that if I am going to steer up a “free publicity” for my unique property, I have to be “provocative,” I decided to send out a media release to the editors of the property sections of major newspapers and online publications. And yes, I was “provocative,” being critical of the real estate agency industry for not understanding marketing and treating every property in exactly the same way.

I post the question “if a real estate agent claims to market homes for a living, then why do 99% of them not have any marketing qualification?” There’s no other industry on earth where so-called professionals can claim expertise at something and not have proper qualifications!

Can you imagine a doctor without medical qualifications or a car mechanic fixing your breaks if he doesn’t have the appropriate tertiary education certificate?

And yet a real estate agent can boast about being a “property marketing guru” and yet not have any qualification whatsoever in marketing and advertising.

Wow, did my media release ruffled some feathers in the real estate industry? You betcha. At the same, it also stimulated an incredible reaction from the media, the most notable is from Ray Martin’s office at A Current Affair on the Nine Television Network! (For international readers, Ray Martin is a TV personality which is a household name in Australia.)

The day A Current Affair rang and asked if I could appear in the program!

Large editorial appeared in the Sydney Sunday paper, on the morning the newspaper hit the streets, I received a call from Channel 9 journalist, who explained he was phoning on behalf of Ray Martin. He said that Ray had read my story in that morning’s newspaper and thought

it would be a good idea to feature the “Do it yourself real estate segment” on Channel 9 A Current Affair Program.

He asked if they could bring a helicopter with a camera crew to my property and if I would be willing to provide my critique of the real estate industry on National TV? What do you think my answer was? Yep, a big “yes” in a heartbeat of course – as who gets the opportunity to have their own 4 minute “advertorial” on national TV??

They came, they interviewed and the story hit screens throughout Australia!

I remembered my wife, Gael, made sure we had the best luncheon platter you could ever dreamed of, so that we kept the camera crew and the journalist “happy and contented” during their stay! The Channel 9 helicopter arrived on our property on about 10 am and I was interviewed about my “reasons” for marketing my home myself. Keep in mind the program story was about “do–it– yourself ” real estate.

You’ll see in the TV segment below that I was asked for my “Top Tips” for selling your own home and of course I gladly oblige. And you’ll also see below the various samples of collateral that I put together to give interested parties.

The story aired nationally and wait till you hear the results!

Our website was promoted by Ray Martin at the end of the segment and it was smashed with enquiries from potential buyers all over Australia.

The result was that we were inundated with offers.

Now keep in mind that the real estate agent had told us to drop the price to what he believe was the “top dollar” we 12

FRANCHISE BUYER

• May 2016 • www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

can get for the property – $650,000. A few days after the Channel 9 exposure, we accepted an offer of $1.2 Million!

I’m not suggesting that everyone can get national television exposure for the sale of their home. However, I am providing you with this story to demonstrate the importance of: a) “Message to market match” in your marketing (Note our photographs feature my family in various locations around the property). b) To gain the attention of any media journalist, you need to be “provocative.”

So whatever you’re selling, if you’re looking for “free publicity,” remember that journalists (both offline and online) receive hundreds of media releases a day.

So if you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to either be the inventor of something new (highly unlikely) or you need to “stir up a hornet’s nest.”

In other words, don’t distribute a lame media release, but rather “wow!”

Don’t Dare Waste My Time!

With time the most precious of all resources, DO NOT let people effectively steal yours for no good reason at all!

By Trent Leyshan

“G

ood morning Eddie,” with a broad smile I enthusiastically shook hands with the potential new client, conscious of positively transferring my energy and providing him with a strong sense of importance. #YouAreImportant However, in the back of my mind dwelled a purposeful and self-serving intent….Don’t dare waste my time!

These words pierced from my eyes, not with a malicious intent, but from a calm place and deep understanding of just how valuable my time in business and on this earth really is. I have no time for time wasters!

Every time waster you meet — takes time you will never see again. It’s also time that could have been spent with people who genuinely value you and your offering.

16

FRANCHISE BUYER

• May 2016 • www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

Here’s the thing, time wasters also steal time you could be sharing with family, your friends or those causes you care about, that makes them deadly creatures!

When you meet with a new potential client be there for a reason, show up with purpose. If it is clear this intent is not reciprocated, filter them quickly and move them on swiftly, respectfully of course.

When navigating stakeholders, it’s important you are having the right conversation with the right person. This will, again, mean circumventing time wasters to quickly get to those people who can influence the positive outcome.

To get to the point and cut through quickly you’ll need to activate your silent sales weapon (your ears) and listen for what’s really being said.

Sales

Sales people often miss or overlook critical information because they aren’t paying attention to the intent. This could mean they miss clear signals because they are too focused on “selling” and what they think they need to say to impress — so the client’s true intent washes straight past them.

Here are some of many examples: Can you provide me with a proposal(without consultation) =

Time waster

My manager has asked me to gather some quotes =

Time waster

We don’t want to meet until we know your prices =

Time waster

Can you respond to this tender in two days =

Time waster

Thanks for proposal, I’ll present at next committee meeting =

Time waster

Price is not an issue for us =

Time waster!

These seemingly innocuous statements appear harmless, but they are laced with time waste. If you respond with a ‘yes’ to most of the above requests regularly, chances are you’re wasting your time — most of the time.

Less successful people float from one time-waster to the next, with no structured engagement method or genuine understanding of how valuable their time is. Ultimately this makes them the ‘time waster,’ because they are investing their own time into activities or people that offer no value or positive outcome.

Remember, the clock is ticking! Like most things in life we receive for free, they are not often valued. Time is a precious and finite resource many of us take for granted, until it’s too late.

As for Eddie, yes, he was a time waster, but this was identified after a five minute conversation, instead of five months worth of follow up.

In your next meeting remember, You Are Important, (but don’t dare waste my time!)

Store Location

The five signs of a good location With so much data now available to aid location selection, the question becomes, what do I focus on, and where do I get it from? Location expert, Peter Buckingham CFE, will zero you in on the key data.If you are buying a retail franchise it is crucial that you understand the basics of what makes a good location or otherwise. By Peter Buckingham CFE

W

hile we can list 10 or 20 drivers or factors that lead to the success of a retail business, they have different levels of importance depending on what you are selling, and how.

For example if you are selling petrol and convenience goods – ie 7-Eleven, Shell or Caltex, your first driver is probably the numbers of cars passing the site. If you are a restaurant owner, and have a drive through as a major part of your business, this still may be your number one driver. If you have a local restaurant – sit down and wine and dine – then the area, demographics, competition and other factors will probably be more important than traffic driving past.

So here is my list of drivers, and some view on their level of importance for some common types of businesses:

Traffic Going Past the Site (vehicle & foot)

If we are selling something that relies on a vehicle driver to spot the location and pull in, then traffic is probably the number one driver. If it is a service station and convenience store, a fast food outlet or a tyre shop, then the more traffic going past normally relates to better sales.

If the franchise itself is the destination, then maybe it is acceptable to have a low volume of traffic or be in a deadend street – swimming centres for instance, where parking is a priority.

Suitable Demographics

Think of who the customer is likely to be and market

Store Location Other Generators

Why do bed shops and electrical stores group together in Homemaker centres? Because the retailers have found it works. Many business owners think that if a competitor is nearby, that will halve the market (and their business).

But data has repeatedly shown us that competitors take a smaller percentage of the business than is normally expected, and in many cases, actually work to build the business, as the area or centre becomes the focus for those specific sales, and the pie is greatly increased.

Why also do food outlets collect together? One answer may be because it is a food court in a shopping centre, but other areas in shopping strips like Surf Avenue, Mermaid Beach, Chapel Street, South Yarra and Alexandra Street, Crows Nest exist because they act as such a strong generator, all restaurants enjoy the benefits.

the product towards them. If you are merchandising a high value product then high socio economic areas such as Toorak and Double Bay will be suitable locations. You can look up the ABS website www.abs.gov.au and Quikstats to evaluate any area in Australia. Make sure the area is suitable to the products you want to sell.

Shopping Centres

Property Guideline

Why do large shopping centres ask for more rent than small ones? Quite simple: they attract more people to shop there. Shopping centres exist because of the adage ‘build it and they will come’.Think of a shopping centre in two measurements:

GLAR: Gross Leasable Area Retail – the size of the centre (sqm) MAT: Moving Annual Turnover – how many dollars pass through If you divide MAT by GLAR, ($/sqm), then you start to see how strong that shopping centre is.

Big shopping centres like Chadstone (VIC) expect about $10,000+/sqm, and that means higher rents.

Shopping Strips

Shopping strips can vary from 800 plus shops, Chapel St, South Yarra for instance, to a few small outlets at the back of Windsor or Kellyville (all VIC examples).

We use a measure called StripLocator to put some data around the shopping strips and compare them. Big shopping strips attract customers, and those with two or more supermarkets, will be the most desirable. Small shopping centres may look good, but if they are not attracting people to them, there just won’t be the trade.

We recommend to all Franchisors that they have a Property Guideline, a 2 page document describing what they are seeking as far as sites is concerned, that can be generally passed around real estate agents and others of interest to narrow down and describe the stores you are seeking. A document like this helps everyone remain focused on what best suits that type of business.

Summary

If I was looking at a location for a franchise outlet I would be asking how the location shapes up in terms of traffic, demographics, the shopping centre or shopping strip, and other generators (neighbours). I would also be asking my Franchisor what they recommend, and if they have a Property Guideline I can use.

The Success of Stellarossa, One Bean at a Time.

Providing coffee drinkers with a premium experience, is fast becoming Australian café franchises caffeine du jour. It’s a competitive marketplace, filled with various ways to satiate our need for a fine brew. From hole-inthe-wall coffee shops, to mobile vans, and gourmet purveyors down hipster laneways, the coffee experience is waiting around every corner. So, how do you decide which one is for you? By Leona Devaz Stellarossa focus on four key areas they believe influence the consumer experience: n Coffee Beans – blended exclusively from the highest grades of Arabica beans. n Skilled Baristas – all baristas are put through extensive training. n The Espresso Bar – sites are set up to provide a warm, modern slant. n Food – Ingredients are sourced locally from suppliers.

With all this in mind, we caught up with Stellarossa Director, Darren Schultz to get to know the inside workings of a Stellarossa franchise.

What are the main advantages of owning a Stellarossa franchise?

“Lower entry costs is our number one advantage.”

Stellarossa run a, “very transparent system – what I negotiate with landlords in savings, I pass onto the franchisee.” This is a core function of Mr Schultz’s role in sales and leasing and helps to reduce entry costs for prospective franchisees; as “landlords are wanting brands like ours”. He explains it as follows: “Basically, when I negotiate a lease, landlords are willing to pay us as well as an incentive. I’m doing many leases on the go, and they average between $120-200K – that is by the way of cash or works the landlord performs prior to going in. For example, if there was a bare shell (premises) and it was going to cost you $450K to get into the site – that would include absolutely everything franchise fees, air conditioning, floor coverings, fit out … ready to go – the landlords $200K contribution would be passed onto the franchisee”. This means, the franchise will cost the franchisee $250K (NB - total cost minus what you get in incentives).

Mr Schultz says, “also, we have low ongoing franchise fees. Whereby most franchise systems will work on a 7% and 3%, 8% and 2%, or 9% and 2% franchise royalty system – where 9% of what a franchisee makes goes back to head office and the other 2% goes back as marketing fee – Stellarossa works on 4.75% of royalties (on average) with no ongoing marketing levies”.

What does an average day look like for existing franchisees?

“It does vary depending on location. The city based franchisees start at 6-6.30am and shut the store around 4pm, Monday-Friday. Other sites are a seven-days-a-week trader. Breakfast, lunch and dinner might be WednesdaySaturday with a fully licensed model and a lot of staff.

Those models will vary, as we are not a system that demands the franchisee has to work in site, several multistore owner’s businesses run under management”.

Hands on vs. running a store under management – both winning formulas.

“Some systems say that is what you have to do (be hands on in the store). If you have several stores and employ good staff, your net profit will be reduced – especially if you are paying good management. It might mean on average, a hands-on franchisee maybe earning 1722% profit, which is reduced to 12-15% under management. But the trade off is, you can be in Fiji on holiday and seeing what the numbers are doing! It’s a model that if you get right from our end, you can prosper running that way”.

Kleenit clears the path to franchisee flexibility.

With a full range of services on offer, ranging from gutter cleaning to pressure cleaning, factory floors and graffiti removal, Kleenit is helping franchisees build personal confidence, find their feet and a niche. Knowing their customer base and the market is proving to be their specialty.

By Leona Devaz

F

rom reducing costs to taking advantage of more efficient procedures, businesses are increasingly outsourcing cleaning services. Leading the charge for residential and commercial cleaning franchises, Kleenit is helping to illustrate this movement.

Head officed and located in WA, Kleenit have almost 40 franchisees nationally and the niche of graffiti removal is still among the fast-growing segments of their business for the industrial, commercial and government markets.

While Kleenit ranks its turnover as $1.2million, Directors Peter Robinson and Mark Wood know they are among some of the fastest-growing franchise businesses in Australia. Mr. Wood says this is particularly the case in the NSW and VIC market place. “We still predominantly have a real need for franchise recruitment to meet the demands across NSW, we have one franchisee driving all over NSW and it’s not efficient!”

With a “$75K minimum income guarantee” Mr Wood explains this instils “confidence in the Kleenit model and takes away the fear and trepidation of buying a new

business”. The “absolute guarantee” is a “no strings, no rubbish” proviso written into the franchise agreement. “It is purely to give confidence to prospective franchise owners, to take that leap of faith”. The directors created this as, “how much will I earn?” tends to be one of the major questions people ask.

Potential earnings, lifestyle and flexibility are among some of the top reasons people move into a franchise system and Mr Wood said the Kleenit franchise is designed to fulfil five different, but key areas.

1. Multiple income streams.

2. Not affected by seasonality.

3. Support.

4. Lifestyle.

5. Longevity.

“It is critical to our business to have a whole bunch of happy franchisees in order to grow”.

Business Success or Failure – What is the Primary Cause?

After selling literally hundreds of franchise businesses, top broker Len Ferguson delivers some home truths on the key difference between business success and failure. By Len Ferguson

I

n my business I deal with a lot of small business owners and I guess I have seen my fair share or good and poor performing businesses. I find that buyers are curious and often ask me why some business owners do well, while other struggle and in the end fail.

Overall the general perception is that external factors are the primary cause of success or failure for a small business. Things like having a great location, top brand or products, and while this is helpful, this is not the primary reason for a businesses success or failure in my experience.

What I find far more influential to a business’ success or failure is how the business owner manages their business. And I am not talking about management skill here, although again, that is also helpful, I am talking about their attitude and more to the point a positive attitude.

“Yeah, yeah”, I hear you say, as we’ve all heard this before!

But do you really understand how important this is?

26

FRANCHISE BUYER

• May 2016 • www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

Think about it for a second, what have been your bad experiences with businesses as a customer? I’d bet most bad experiences have been due to a poor attitude or worse, a negative attitude from a staff member or even the owner themselves.

I want to expand on this a little for you with a view to helping you avoid making what I believe is the most influential blunders failing business owners make.

Your attitude sets your results.

A positive attitude leads to a positive business. I have experienced business owners talking their business down, talking their customers down and even talking their staff down. Generally, they have a negative attitude towards their business, so guess what their business results looked like?

You may recognise some of these comments if heard; “Customers are just tyre kickers”, “Staff are lazy and don’t want to learn”, “Business is really bad at the moment”,

n “The franchisor is not doing anything to help us” etc, etc.

Once this language and attitude permeates through your business, your results will start to decline. You have given yourself, your business and your staff the excuse needed to not try as hard, if at all. Your attitude is negative, this is toxic to your businesses growth prospects.

Above and below the line thinking.

This strategy has been around for a while now in business and I would suggest printing this out and putting it up in your office. Above the line thinking is where you need to be, and it in an extension to having a positive attitude. Below the line thinking is the reverse and where businesses start to fail. Have a look at the list below and think if any of these behaviours ring true for you or your team members.

Ownership Accountable Responsible --------------------------------Blame Excuses

behaviours to set the correct course for you and your business in any scenario.

Denial Don’t get bogged down.

You get what you deserve.

I see a lot of business owners worrying about things that are just outside of their control. It is just such a waste of time. Worse still is when they go ahead and disrupt their whole team with it. Don’t get bogged down with things that you can’t change and refocus on things that you can change and improve.

Rally when the going gets tough.

It is easy to get down in the dumps when things are just no going your way. Below the line thinking starts to kick in and as humans we start to look at external factors and blame others. My advice here is to rally when things are not going your way. Refocus on above the line behaviours and work on things that are within your control. Change will take longer than you think it should, so stay on track and rally your business and team.

Stay unemotional.

Above all it is best to stay pragmatic about your business and its performance. This can be hard, but it is vital for you to employ the strategies I have highlighted above. Review pros and cons of a situation unemotionally and set out a plan with above the line thinking and

At the end of the day your business will be a product of how you manage it. Are you positive, focused and put your energy into things that you can control and affect positively? The strategies I have highlighted above can be the strategies that will have the greatest affect on your businesses performance. They can be learned, practised and mastered. Business owners that have mastered them have strong businesses that are well run and profitable. I would strongly encourage you to work on implementing these into your business today and start build a business that you deserve…!

Good luck with it all and I hope this has helped.

First Class Capital Bank on a Non-Bank for your Business Finance CEO of First Class Capital, Brad Prout gives his take on the current landscape of SME lending and the role his business is playing in helping keep SME’s of all shapes and sizes funded and growing. By Brad Prout

A

ustralian Banks are facing interesting times.

Core revenue streams are threatened by the slowing housing market and increased competition from overseas, mainly Asian, banks pursing Australian corporate lending.

Rapid advancement in payments technology has the potential to undermine merchant revenues from cards and the emergence of alternative SME lenders threatens traditional business banking relationships.

While SME lenders only have a tiny percentage of the $800 + billion business credit market in Australia, the emerging trends have caught the banks attention.

Positively, the increased number of non-bank lenders and the growing awareness amongst business owners that there are alternative forms of finance available is making the banks stop and think.

Online SME lenders typically provide unsecured loans.

Banks generally do not provide unsecured business loans to micro and SME businesses. What banks are concerned about is the loss of client relationship. That has led several banks to establish referral partner relationships with nonbank lenders.

Legacy IT platforms and adverse regulatory capital requirements make it difficult for banks to compete with the new, nimble participants in the unsecured business loan market. The bank branch networks don’t provide as much of an advantage in business lending as they do with consumer lending.

Interestingly, while SMEs play a crucial role in the Australian economy, business owners are fairly conservative when it comes to their use of business finance. Only a small percentage of businesses seek external finance and an even smaller percentage chose not to deal with, or are declined by, their banks.

What business owners do need is convenience, transparency and credit solutions that can assist them trade and grow their business. Some but not all lenders deliver on these points.

Increasing the awareness of alternative business finance is very good for the economy and has underpinned the opportunity First Class Capital to rapidly expand.

At First Class Capital, we use a combination of leading technology to efficiently deliver the funding and real people, through our Franchise Partner network, to provide services and support to our clients.

We are all about forming relationships with business owners, educating them around the benefits of using funding in their business and then delivering a solution that facilitates trade and profit growth.

The landscape for small business finance has changed forever. More choice and alternative finance solutions means business owners are the ultimate winners.

Upgrading Consumers Lifestyles and Renting with Style The finance industry is high-growth with compliance requirements to government regulations, for both commercial and residential. With strong training and support for new franchisees, micro-finance company, Rent with Style handles all the administrative work on behalf of its franchisees.

By Leona Devaz

W

e all know that buying a home involves a big financial outlay, but few people are aware of how to prepare for the costs ahead.

Appliances, furniture and renovations can all eat away at your savings, and so, it pays to be prepared with a budget or, seek alternatives – like renting to buy.

Enter Rent with Style, an Australian owned company specialising in affordable appliances, furniture and electronics for household, commercial and industrial use.

Operating through a hire purchase system for customers, goods are paid through weekly payments, with customers owning the goods at the end of the term.

Rent with Style’s Manish Verma says, “people always want to have new technology. Consumers like to update their lifestyle with the latest TV, couch, furniture, mattress, tablet or DVD and technology and if they can’t afford $1K upfront, they can afford $20 a week”.

With consumers “updating their lifestyles regularly”, Mr Verma explains Rent with Style supports a work-fromhome model, that is low cost, with flexible hours. “From starting out part-time, it can become a passive income business. Franchise owners can secure exclusive territories which are large and own the customer for life. There is a lot of repetition in the business, as consumers buy one item after the other. You get a lot of referrals from word-ofmouth”.

Rent with Style currently operate through 10 territories Australia-wide and are recruiting both nationally and in

New Zealand. “The business hours are 9-5 and once you get up to around 200 customers, your passive income starts to flow in. Customers pay on a weekly or fortnightly basis and there is a great software system, it is uniquely customised. Rent with Style isn’t affected by the weather or public holidays – so you can generate a passive income 365 days of the year,” says Mr Verma.

Training takes place in Victoria, but as many new franchise owners have multiple businesses or other commitments Mr Verma will, “fly there (where the franchisee lives) and help them sign up a business. I give them live training for 14 days and if I can’t go for the whole time, one of my staff will go for three-four days. My idea is, I will hold their hand and not just give them office training – it’s live training in the field, step by step, so they can see how we do it”.

Customer retention: “People recommend you if you can provide high quality customer service. We work in the same area customers live, so when they see our car with the signage – once we start with them, customers stay with us for a long time.

If you look after customers, they come back to you”.

Social Media Simplified

Never assume that just because a person or business’ follower numbers are high or low on social media, that this will dictate the success of leveraging that follower group. The opposite can be just as true…

H

By Remote Workmate

ow many clicks do you think a Twitter user that has over 114K followers gets for a link he is sharing? You are thinking about a few hundred at least, right? Well, we are sorry to break it to you, but even though he is on the Forbes Top 50 Social Media Influencers list, this guy gets an average of 7 clicks per shared link.

So, what is happening? Why are the social media gurus failing at social media and how can you protect your company from going on the same path?

The most prevalent reason for having no results in social media, no matter if those results are clicks, newsletter subscriptions or sales, are related to buying followers and using poorly built automation software for publishing content on social media networks.

The people who are focusing on growing an audience on social media by following thousands of other users and posting a tweet at every 5 minutes are chasing success forgetting that it is social, not anti-social media. When someone is paying for new social media followers (Twitter users or Facebook fans), the bought accounts are fake ones, no real people are using them. If there is no one to see what you are posting, how could you possibly generate conversions?

The key to protecting your company from social media failure is getting back to the basics. According to a study conducted by the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council and Lithium, 80% of consumers tried out new things based on friends’ suggestions. Over 70% of them encouraged their friends to try a product or service. To really be successful in social media it means to be able to

32

FRANCHISE BUYER

• May 2016 • www.FranchiseBuyer.com.au

create meaningful relations, like the ones between friends.

If you’re using an automated service to post content to your social media channels, without listening to what your customers are saying, what they joke about and how they feel, you shouldn’t be in social media at all, because you’re doing it wrong.

When you start a business, every small investment counts. And so does every single effort you’re making.

Social media allows you to trade a part of your time to helping and understanding others and transforming them into your loyal clients and promoters. And you’ll say that you don’t have time for that, and you’re right.

Luckily you can get a social media manager to help, one who helped businesses before by building strong and loyal communities around the products or services they sold.

What this social media manager you should be looking for does is to plan, implement and support social media marketing initiatives towards meeting your business and commercialization goals. This person should work closely with your entire team in handling daily requests, and complaints from customers, while managing the overall activity of your social media assets and be responsible for the reach, engagement and sentiment output of those channels.

What is truly great about this hyper-connected World we’re living in is that you can now afford to hire one of the best social media managers available on the market. And it will cost you only 30% of what you’re thinking it will cost you via outsourcing.

If it’s not expensive to do it right, why do it wrong? .

ver dreamed of owning your own business, but not sure how? Or expanding the one you already have?

Head to the Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo in Brisbane in July or Melbourne this August, to meet the people who can tell you more.

“Attending the Expo in Brisbane or Melbourne is a great way to investigate franchising options and learn more about this exciting and dynamic sector,” says Exhibition Manager Fiona Stacey. “Researching online is always a good start, but nothing can replace asking questions faceto-face, or hearing from the experts first-hand.”

Meanwhile there will be plenty of buzz in Brisbane, with new concepts to see plus motivating presentations in the seminar theatre, including keynote speaker John O’Brien.

As Poolwerx’s high profile CEO, O’Brien will share what he has learned as he built Australasia’s largest pool and spa network with over 300 active franchise territories, 330 mobile vans and more than 70 retail stores. O’Brien has been highly involved in the Australian franchise industry for over 20 years as a member of the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) and World Franchise Council, and is a regular contributor at high profile franchise events such as the National Franchise Convention.

An engaging and informative speaker who wowed Expo audiences in Sydney and Perth, O’Brien will give crucial advice to visitors, particularly around the best questions to ask prospective franchisors.

Joining O’Brien as a keynote speaker in Melbourne will be Chris Malcolm, owner and Managing Director of Clark Rubber. Malcolm took the brand from an ailing

chain of stores to a thriving franchise business, when he became a licensee in 1995, then in 2000 he bought the Clark Rubber brand from Pacific Dunlop.

He went on to win Franchisor of the Year in the FCA awards, and today Clark Rubber has over 75 stores nationally and is continuing to grow. Now his focus is on helping franchisees build their own successful Clark Rubber retail business.

Poolwerx and Clark Rubber are exhibiting at both shows, along with other renowned companies VIP Home Services, The Coffee Club, Lenard’s and New York Slice, as well as new players Refresh Renovations and National Drones.

Stacey adds that the recent Perth Franchising & Business Opportunities Expo, held for the first time in some years, was a huge success and demonstrated the vitality and strength of the franchising sector.

“This was a one-day show, and it was pumping from the get-go,” she says. “Our exhibitors commented that the visitors were serious about investing and keen to find out more from franchisors and industry experts. We’ll definitely schedule another Expo in Perth next year.”
