Frequently Asked Questions

We work with many brands with some form of franchisee support in place that are looking to optimize their framework. We recommend doing our Field Support Assessment to see where the opportunities for improvement are in your existing framework!

I already have franchisee support in place — do I still need this framework?

Any franchise system could see improved profits and happier franchisees with the Strategic Growth Coaching framework. Key indicators that a new framework is needed include: Disengaged franchisees, overwhelmed leadership team, and lower-performing locations. 

How do I know if I need to improve my existing franchisee support?

Yes! We spend the first few weeks of working with any brand diving deep into your concept, culture, and existing training to customize our framework for your franchisees. We then implement the coaching techniques through training, fractional solutions, or executive coaching.

Will the Strategic Growth Coaching framework work in my unique system?
