Franchise Sales Training
Master the Art of Franchise Recruitment
- Change career paths
- Give up job security
- Put large sums of money at risk
- Tie any failure directly to you, from an emotional and psychological standpoint
Similarly, there is no other sale that has a similar risk profile as franchise sales. In franchise sales:
- You have to tell your potential buyer about every other person you have sold your product to, and give them contact information
- The attitude of “of course I sell the best product” is a quick path to failure in franchise sales. There is no such thing as the “right” franchise or franchisee, just the right fit.
- The repercussions of a single closed sale are massive; they can affect an entire organization (yours) an entire family (the franchisee’s), a community (job creation, adding competition to a marketplace, etc.), and a reputation (yours)
