Identifying the Ideal Franchisee
A strong sales cycle starts with knowing your target audience. FranSource can assist you in identifying the characteristics of your ideal franchisee to ensure you target the right individuals.
Building Awareness
Awareness is the first step in appealing to your prospective franchisees. During this stage, it’s important to familiarize your target audience with your franchise opportunity through various awareness tactics. These strategies can incorporate mass media, social media, organic content marketing, public relations, and much more. Always detailed and dedicated, FranSource can develop an awareness campaign based on your expansion goals, budget, and key characteristics of your ideal franchisee.
Sparking Interest and Engagement
Along with brand awareness, a thorough franchise lead generation strategy will focus on earning engagement from prospective franchisees. FranSource will help you spark deeper interest in your franchise opportunity by detailing direct response advertising with tactics such as digital ads, franchise directories, direct response TV/audio, and much more.
Messaging tied to your franchise’s value position will be essential to earning engagement. By focusing on the advantages of your franchise opportunity, you can give prospects assurance it will be a successful investment. Potential ROI, brand identity, franchisees testimonials, and other details can accentuate messaging to corroborate the value of your franchise opportunity.
As part of your franchise lead generation strategy, FranSource can equip you with materials — such as a franchise opportunity landing page, digital and print brochures, email campaigns, video testimonials, newsletters, and Discovery Day agendas — to draw in qualified leads.
Evaluating Leads
Once you begin generating franchise leads, FranSource can assist in determining their quality in relation to your franchise expansion goals. Part of this step in franchise lead generation involves connecting you with a franchise management software platform. Through such a platform, you can organize the lifecycle and qualifications of leads in one centralized database. FranSource can provide advisement and even demonstrate franchise CRM software systems that compliment your franchise operation.
Making Connections
FranSource can assist you in taking the next steps with your most promising leads. Depending on your industry and the qualification of the lead, your next course of action will include multiple web meetings, franchise presentations, hosting Discovery Days, provision and execution of franchise documents, and much more. As part of its Essentials program, FranSource will provide counsel on your franchise lead generation strategy as you consider how you will create, nurture, and quality potential franchisees.
Sealing the Deal with Franchise Lead Generation
At FranSource, we know a successful franchise lead generation strategy doesn’t just attract leads, but successful franchisees. When it’s time to seal the deal with a prospective franchisee, we can ensure your new franchise location is set up for success. Our training and operations manuals are the key to implementation, but finalizing the deals with prospective franchisees is a process in itself. Many franchisors lose as they come close to the finish line, and FranSource’s goal is to make sure you cross that line with authority and move on to successfully assisting your franchisees with the development of their franchise business.

"With FranSource overseeing the entire development of our franchise operation, we were confident that our franchise would be successful. However, seeing is believing. We just awarded another multi-unit franchise and we want to thank you and your team for the incredible commitment you demonstrated, and continue to demonstrate, to helping make our franchise a success. Our franchisees are extremely impressed with the documents, manuals and other materials you developed, which of course makes a great impression on our company. FranSource has definitely gone above and beyond our expectations."
- Gus's Fried Chicken
"I can’t speak highly enough of the FranSource team. This has continued to be one of our most valuable relationships. FranSource literally retooled our entire franchise development process after we worked with another franchise development company that provided a cookie-cutter approach that was too generic for our needs. FranSource quickly jumped in, became extremely familiar with our industry and business, and developed an extremely robust end-to-end franchise sales process within a couple of months. Due to the in-depth franchise knowledge demonstrated by the FranSource team, it was evident we needed to revisit our Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Operations Manual. FranSource conducted a thorough review of the documents and enhanced those documents as well. Steve and his team are truly franchise development specialists, and we highly recommend FranSource to other businesses that are considering franchising."
- Hudson Valley Swim
“We granted our 150th ALOHA franchise last week and we wanted to say thank you for your team's tremendous assistance and ongoing support. When we began the franchise project, it quickly became apparent that the FranSource team truly cares about our company and the success of our franchise. As we reflect on the growth of our brand, we believe we owe a large part of our success to the assistance and guidance FranSource has provided."
- Aloha
"We chose to work with FranSource because of their deep understanding of franchising and the personal interaction we were confident we would receive. FranSource helped us to quickly build a successful franchise model and were involved in every aspect of our franchise development process, including areas outside of the original development project to ensure we operated according to best practices. Every document and material FranSource developed for us was incredibly detailed and professional. To cite just one example, the 800+ page Operations & Policies Manual FranSource developed for our franchisees captured EVERY aspect of developing and operating a Smokin' Oak Wood-Fired Pizza franchise. Suffice to say that our franchises are extremely impressed. We greatly appreciate the expert assistance FranSource provided and continues to provide to help ensure our success. We strongly recommend FranSource to business owners that are considering franchising their business."

"In addition to fully developing our franchise operation, FranSource assisted with other aspects of our expansion program. We are very pleased with the franchise development services we received and the ongoing support FranSource continues to provide. With Interior Magic franchises now located coast-to-coast, we feel very qualified to recommend FranSource to anyone considering franchising their business."
- Interior Magic
"When we made the decision to expand our business through franchising, we knew that we needed to work with a franchise consulting firm who fit our brand. We interviewed several franchise development companies to get started. It only took a single call with Steve and his team to know that FranSource was the best fit for us. It was clear they fully understand what it takes to successfully franchise a business and they were 100% committed to advising and supporting us every step of the way. When we began the franchise development process, it was hard to imagine selling our first franchise. However, less than a month after launching our franchise opportunity we granted our first franchise! Steve and his team were completely hands on throughout the entire development process and will continue to be a key asset to our company as we grow."
- Global Brew Tap House
"FranSource has impacted our business in ways we never imagined, beyond simply franchising. Rather than taking a cookie-cutter approach during the franchise development process, they examined every aspect of our business and provided valuable input concerning operational procedures that helped us further refine our system. FranSource continues to assist us with many aspects of our growth and their team has always proved extremely competent. We highly recommend FranSource."
- Compuchild
"I interviewed three different franchise companies and picked FranSource to assist us in franchising our business. I have worked with FranSource for a couple years now and we are so sure that selecting FranSource was the right decision. They are experienced, professional and caring. They have gone above and beyond and are a true partner. FranSouce has coached us through our first five locations which is part of their contract and none of the other companies offered this benefit. Truly, I would recommend any prospective client to consider working with FranSource, you will not regret it!!!"
