45% of franchises face this problem. How to avoid it?

By Naranga
The lack of clear support and teaching from a franchisor triggers 45% of franchises failing. Remember that you are not only the franchise owner – you are also a mentor, and the franchisee is paying for a working business scheme. But even the most thoughtful concept can work poorly if the franchisee doesn't understand how to use it. Therefore, spare no time and resources for training and support. In this article, we'll tell you how franchisees can quickly get to the heart of the matter and what franchisors should do for this. 

 

Franchisees are like your children

Franchises are like your children

The learning phase can be compared to laying the foundation for a house. If the training is carried out correctly, then the house (your franchise business) will last for centuries, supported by a strong foundation. That’s why full support for franchise partners begins with training. 

The partner should immerse themselves in the product and the work process. The franchisor should understand that training must be structured in such a way as to teach partners to: 

  • take management decisions; 
  • personally control the business; 
  • monitor all the processes related to the activities of the franchise point. 

If the franchisee conducts their business thinking through every step and with complete confidence, then success is guaranteed.

The success of a franchise network primarily depends on the actions of the franchisor. That is why the franchisor should pay special attention to partners’ training: 

  1. Business processes. Depending on the field of activity, theoretical provisions, legislative framework, training in equipment handling, etc. may be included. Usually, this stage is divided into several others.
  2. Standards and regulations. These should include a corporate greeting, standards for communicating with clients, processing requests, carrying out work, etc.
  3. Corporate uniform. Dress code instructions that explain the company's standards for employees’ appearance.
  4. Testing and certification. Testing can be carried out after each stage of training. In the end, employees pass the final certification and receive certificates.

It is important to understand that the learning process does not end here. Most questions arise when a partner comes face to face with the job. To support your franchisee 7 days a week, use a convenient CRM system where you can answer all their questions. The answers will be saved in the history of correspondence and the franchisee will always be able to find what they need.
