Increase Revenue Through Customer Happiness

BY KAREN BOOZE, CFE COMPANY BIO

AnswerConnect

provides 24/7 live answering services to ensure your business stays connected when customers need you most. We expertly manage calls, messages, and appointments, so you never miss an opportunity to connect with new & existing clients ever again. Our services seamlessly integrate with your tools and our custom scripts are tailored to meet your business needs. With friendly receptionists on hand to manage calls and inquiries, you can grow your business and provide excellent customer care at every turn.

Every franchise business has their own specific ways of operating, their own unique challenges and an intricate understanding of what success means to them. Throughout all of the granularity and intricacies, however, there remains one common thread. The need to generate revenue. Here’s 5 ways an answering service can help your franchise make more money through increasing customer happiness.

1. Better customer service

Customer service is your best secret weapon when it comes to retaining clients and keeping them coming back for more. With an answering service you can provide 24/7, brand-consistent support when your customers need it. At AnswerConnect, every caller is connected to a friendly, helpful receptionist when they call your business. With better customer service, comes a better reputation. You know what they say, the best form of marketing is word of mouth. These days, testimony is everything.

2. Lead capture and qualification

This might seem like stating the obvious but it's an often overlooked and underappreciated facet of enabling your franchise system growth. When you capture and qualify more leads it’s more than likely that you’re going to start making more money. Answering services play a vital role for franchise system growth, handling tasks like qualifying leads, collecting important information such as contact details, and efficiently scheduling appointments. By managing these tasks effectively, they ensure that franchise businesses don't miss out on valuable opportunities. They streamline the lead management process, helping franchisees promptly engage with prospects, which ultimately boosts conversion rates and enhances customer satisfaction.

3. Appointment scheduling

Scheduling appointments can be a great way for your franchise to secure new business. Making sure that every opportunity is captured can be demanding, especially when franchisees are already spinning so many other plates.

ally, 24/7 availability helps franchises take bookings outside of their usual operating hours, boosting revenue and expanding their customer base.

4. Customer retention

Ever heard of the Pareto principle? Boiled down, it essentially states that 80% of results come from 20% of the causes. This same rule applies to your franchise customer base—a majority of your revenue will be generated by a smaller proportion of loyal customers. That means that repeat customers should play a big part in your revenue growth strategy.

Implementing an answering service for customer retention offers a practical solution for franchises looking to strengthen their client relationships affordably. By providing professional, brandconsistent support, promptly addressing inquiries and delivering exemplary service, you can drastically improve satisfaction and build loyalty. You’re being flexible and adapting your business to the needs of your clients, not the other way around. (With a customer-centric approach, customers are more likely to feel appreciated and supported.)

5: Keeping your business open 24/7

The longer your franchise stays open, the more opportunities will come your way. Simple right? Short answer, no. But it could be. Constantly working and spinning so many plates can leave little time for anything else. According to the University of California, over 50% of business owners face burnout

This doesn’t have to be the case. Customer service can take a large proportion of a franchisee's time. By alleviating this responsibility, franchisees have the freedom to focus on other things where they can make a big impact. By passing on the reins to an answering service, a business can stay open longer, and take inquiries and calls from customers at unsociable hours—helping the franchisee enjoy their free time and generate more revenue. n

Securing Funding with an SBA/ Lender Compliant Business Plan: Essential Insights for Entrepreneurs

BY REG BYRD COMPANY BIO

Benetrends Financial has been a leader in small business and franchise funding for over 40 years. We specialize in helping entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses through innovative funding solutions, including 401(k)/IRA rollovers (ROBS), SBA loans, and unsecured funding. As the preferred funding partner of the International Franchise Association (IFA), we offer expert guidance, fast access to capital, and tailored solutions to fit the unique needs of each client. Benetrends is committed to supporting business success every step of the way.

At Benetrends, we understand that an effective business plan is not just a formal document, but a strategic tool essential for securing funding and driving business growth. When approaching lenders or investors, a well-constructed SBA/Lender Compliant Business Plan sets the foundation for success, providing credibility and a clear roadmap for your business.

The Importance of Business Plans in Securing Funding

Establishing Credibility

A professionally developed business plan signals to lenders that you’re serious, prepared, and knowledgeable. It reduces perceived risks by demonstrating that you have thoroughly researched the industry and competitors. Including detailed market analysis within your plan reassures lenders of your understanding of the business environment, showing that you're equipped to make informed decisions.

Financial Projections and Use of Funds

Lenders heavily rely on the financial projections provided in your business plan to assess the viability of your venture. By including income statements, cash flow projections, and breakeven analysis, you demonstrate that your business is prepared for growth and repayment. Clearly articulating how you plan to use the funds shows lenders that their investment will be managed effectively, building their confidence to proceed.

Aligning Goals and Risk Mitigation

A successful business plan aligns stakeholders around a clear mission and goals. It also includes risk assessments, identifying potential obstacles and strategies to overcome them. This forward-thinking approach reassures lenders that you’re equipped to navigate challenges successfully, further improving your chances of securing financing.

Key Components of a Winning Business Plan

To maximize your chances of securing funding, certain components are critical in a business plan:

• Executive Summary: A clear, concise overview of your business and its objectives.

• Detailed Descriptions: Thorough explanations of products or services.

• Market Analysis: Evidence of an understanding of the competitive landscape.

• Marketing Strategies: Plans for how you will promote and grow your business.

• Financial Models: Projections that include realistic income, cash flow, and repayment strategies.

Additionally, qualifications of the management team, collateral, and a solid repayment plan are essential in establishing creditworthiness.

The Role of Business Plans in Long-Term Success

Beyond securing funding, an SBA/Lender Compliant Business Plan functions as a roadmap, keeping the business aligned with its goals as it grows. It also attracts future investment by illustrating a clear vision for growth and sustainability.

At Benetrends, we craft Executive-Level Business Plans that include comprehensive financial models and market analysis tailored to each client. Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with the strategic tools they need to secure financing, whether through SBA loans, our ROBS funding programs, or other options. A wellprepared business plan can be the key to unlocking the financing you need to bring your business vision to life. n

Streamlining Franchise Marketing for Brand Consistency and Local Impact

BY MATTHEW MONTOYA

Constant Contact’s franchise-specific solution offers the flexibility franchises need to maintain brand consistency while empowering franchisees to market locally. With our comprehensive email and digital marketing platform, franchisors can implement approval workflows and lock crucial branding elements. Set your brand up for success with best-inclass marketing tools, customized onboarding, and hands-on support.

In the competitive world of franchising, success depends on balancing brand consistency with local market engagement. Whether you're a franchisor looking to expand or a franchisee focused on growing locally, the key to simplifying complex marketing efforts lies in a centralized, effective email marketing strategy.

Franchises thrive on relationships—between franchisors, franchisees, and customers. Email marketing builds on these connections, extending the essential "word-of-mouth" reach. It allows franchises to nurture loyalty and drive engagement with timely, relevant messages. However, the challenge is ensuring each location maintains brand consistency while giving franchisees the flexibility to adapt to local needs. This is where a centralized email marketing solution shines.

Why Email Marketing Works for Franchises

Franchisors need to balance two objectives: maintaining a unified brand image while empowering franchisees to create localized campaigns. A centralized email marketing system achieves this balance by delivering branded content that franchisees can personalize for their markets. This ensures brand consistency while addressing the unique needs of each location’s audience. When used effectively, email marketing isn’t just another communication tool—it strengthens relationships. Personalized, consistent messaging helps franchises connect more deeply with their customers, driving loyalty and engagement.

Key Elements of a Strong Franchise Marketing Strategy

Franchises need more than just email to thrive in today’s digital landscape. A robust marketing strategy should include AI-powered content creation, social media engagement, and marketing automation to maximize outreach and efficiency.

1. AI-Powered Content Creation: Modern AI tools save time by automating the creation of high-quality, tailored content for email, SMS, and social media. These tools generate messages aligned with both brand standards and local needs, ensuring

consistency across channels while allowing franchisees to focus on running their business.

2. Social Media Engagement: Local social media management helps franchisees build community relationships. Reusing content from email campaigns allows them to promote local events and share customer stories, driving foot traffic and deepening customer loyalty—all while maintaining consistent messaging across platforms.

3. Marketing Automation: Franchisors can streamline marketing efforts by automating campaigns that can be shared across locations. Automated personalized messages—such as welcome emails or special offers—help franchisees engage customers consistently while maintaining brand alignment.

The Power of Centralized Marketing

A centralized marketing platform enables franchisors to balance brand consistency with local flexibility. Here’s how it supports franchise marketing:

1. Brand Consistency: Centralized templates allow franchisors to control key brand elements while enabling franchisees to personalize messages for their market. This ensures consistent, high-quality communication across all locations.

2. Campaign Management: Franchisors can launch large-scale campaigns from a central platform, ensuring consistent messaging across all locations. This saves time and lets franchisees focus on local engagement.

3. Local Franchise Empowerment: Franchisees benefit from tools that allow them to create localized campaigns while staying aligned with the brand’s overall strategy.

4. Campaign Approval Process: Franchisors can approve franchisee-generated campaigns before they go live, ensuring all messaging complies with brand guidelines while allowing for local customization.

5. Simplified Opt-Out Management: Managing email lists across multiple locations can be challenging. A global unsubscribe feature ensures that customers who opt out are removed from all location lists, helping prevent communication overload and ensuring compliance.

Measuring Success with Data-Driven Insights

The success of any marketing strategy lies in measurable results. Tracking key metrics—like open rates, click-through rates, and conversions—gives both franchisors and franchisees valuable insights. Centralized reporting tools enable franchisors to monitor campaign performance across multiple locations, allowing for continuous optimization. This data-driven approach ensures franchises can refine their strategies for better results over time. n

Demand Generation: How to Reach, Engage, and Convert New Customers with Digital Media

BY JOSHUA ALLEN

Location3 is franchising’s proven leader in driving digital transformation. We are a catalyst for revenue growth, offering strategic consulting and professional services specifically tailored to franchisors. Our expertise in datadriven marketing, technology infrastructure and digital media empowers our partners to thrive in the digital landscape. In addition, our platform (LOCALACT) provides your franchise owners with powerful technology that optimizes their local digital presence and media mix to drive customer acquisition and local revenue growth.

In today’s competitive landscape, demand generation has become a critical strategy for franchisors and franchisees looking to drive revenue growth. Unlike traditional marketing, which often focuses solely on sales, demand generation encompasses a holistic approach to attract, engage, and convert new customers. By leveraging digital media channels, franchisors can cultivate meaningful connections with their target audiences and create opportunities for long-term success. Here are a few tips for developing an effective demand generation program and actionable tactics you can being implementing today.

Building Awareness through Upper-Funnel Media

Effective demand generation begins with creating awareness. For franchisors, this means leveraging top-of-the-funnel (TOFU) digital media channels such as YouTube, Connected TV (CTV), Over-the-Top (OTT) media, and display advertising. These platforms are instrumental in reaching large, targeted audiences and introducing them to your brand’s products or services, and it’s critical to support these tactics with compelling video content that tells the story of your brand. Investing in highquality creative that showcases your unique selling proposition and resonates emotionally with your target audience will produce positive results. Franchisors should also consider using retargeting tactics to keep their brand top-of-mind for potential customers who may not convert immediately but are still interested. Combining upper-funnel awareness campaigns with mid-funnel engagement strategies can help maximize the reach and effectiveness of your marketing.

Engaging Audiences with Multi-Touch Content

With upper-funnel media running in market, the next step is to engage potential customers. Doing so involves delivering content that is personalized, relevant, and addresses the needs or pain points of your target customers. Multi-touch strategies, where potential customers are exposed to your brand across multiple digital experiences, have proven to increase engagement and action. Ensure your content calendar is mapped out with key messages and content formats for each stage of the customer journey, such as educational blogs, how-to videos, email campaigns and social

media posts that move customers from interest and consideration, into acting. Franchisors that lead with a systemwide content strategy should consider customizing content based on specific regional or local market preferences, allowing franchisees to better connect with customers meaningfully in each local market.

Optimizing Demand Gen Performance

Measuring the success of your demand generation marketing and advertising requires an evaluation of KPIs that are different from lead gen programs. Examples of these KPIs include:

• Video View Rate (VVR): The percentage of users who watched a video ad for a certain duration (i.e., 30 seconds or 100% of the ad). High VVR indicates strong engagement and content relevance.

• Cost Per View (CPV): Tracks costs associated with each completed video view, helping evaluate the efficiency of your budget spent on video ads in relation to number of viewers.

• View-Through Rate (VTR): Percentage of viewers who watched your video ad to completion or a significant portion (i.e., 25%, 50%, 100%).

• Brand Lift: YouTube and Google Ads offer brand lift studies to measure the impact of video ads on brand perception. Track metrics like ad recall, brand awareness, and consideration among viewers.

• Ad Recall Lift: Measures how well viewers remember your ad after exposure, typically assessed through surveys.

Converting Leads into Customers with Data-Driven Tactics

When investing in demand generation, it’s critical to ensure best practices for turning that demand into leads, customers and sales are in place. Franchisors can leverage data-driven tactics to optimize conversion rates and drive tangible results for franchisees, and one key tactic is implementing conversion-focused landing pages. These pages should have clear calls to action (CTAs), be mobile-friendly, and be optimized for user experience. You should also routinely run A/B testing on landing pages to identify what messaging, design, or CTAs perform best in terms of conversions, and ensure franchisees have visibility into how these tests translate to business results on the local level. From a franchise owner perspective, it’s incredibly important to also pair demand generation programs with lower-funnel, hyper-local advertising campaigns and retargeting campaigns to capture that hard-earned demand. By investing in incremental campaigns across high-intent channels like paid search (PPC) and paid social that complement upper- and mid-funnel demand generation programs, franchisees can drive customer action and deliver better business results and revenue in every local market served. n

Navigating the New Workforce: Engaging Millennials and Gen Z in the Workplace

Millennials and Gen Z candidates often fit the bill given their career stage, and significant experience with tech compared to other generations. The key to hiring and retaining the emerging workforce, which increasingly comprises Gen Z and Millennials, is understanding how their needs and preferences intersect with modern human resources (HR) practices.

Our recent study examines how to incorporate innovative HR strategies tailored to meet the evolving demands of the new workforce. From skills-based hiring to fostering and supporting the right talent, our results uncover actionable insights for HR professionals to implement when attracting and retaining the new workforce.

Millennial and Gen Z Career Motivations

We asked Millennial and Gen Z workers about their career trajectories, workplace satisfaction, and the factors influencing their decision to stay or leave their current jobs. Nearly 50% of Millennial and Gen Z workers surveyed report being extremely happy with their current workplace. Some Millennials and Gen Z intend to stay at their current jobs long-term; 20% plan to stay for over five years, and 12% for their entire careers.

Millennial and Gen Z workers have held an average of four jobs since entering the workforce. But this level of work experience hasn’t always led to a satisfying career. Nearly 10% express dissatisfaction with their current workplaces. Also, one in five are contemplating looking for a new job. Of those considering a change, 43% wish to remain in a similar role (a lateral move) after leaving their current one, 28% would prefer a new role, and 29% are undecided.

Millennials and Gen Z are looking for careers with benefits that align with their lifestyle. The top factor driving them to explore new job opportunities is better compensation (55%). On average, they feel an $80,000 annual salary would help them live comfortably today. Better work-life balance (44%) and remote work opportunities (42%) are other top factors motivating Millennial and Gen Z workers to look for a new job. Career development opportunities also play a significant role in their job satisfaction and retention. Gen Z and Millennial workers surveyed feel it’s extremely important for their workplace to encourage the following:

• Work-life balance: 85%

• Recognition and respect: 66%

• Autonomy: 64%

• Career growth and development: 64%

• Utilization of individual skills and talents: 63%

• Positive personal and social impact: 50%

In addition, Millennial and Gen Z workers expressed how much they value specific forms of career growth opportunities:

• Opportunities for promotion and advancement within the company: 45%

• Support for professional certification and licensing: 22%

• Support for further education: 20%

This data highlights the need for employers to strategize ways to prioritize meeting the financial and lifestyle expectations of Millennial and Gen Z workers while also fostering an environment that values growth, balance, and appreciation.

To attract and retain Millennial and Gen Z workers, business owners and HR decision-makers could prioritize creating a workplace that offers clear career development opportunities and aligns with their lifestyle expectations. Focusing on structured career pathways with transparent criteria for promotion and advancement could also significantly impact employee retention among these generations.

Supporting professional development through subsidies for certifications, licensing, and further education can also demonstrate a commitment to their employees’ long-term growth. Offering flexible working arrangements, like remote work opportunities and flexible hours, may also address these workers’ desire for better work-life balance. By investing in these areas, businesses can build a more engaged, motivated workforce and foster an environment where newer talent feels valued and understood.To view the entire survey, visit the Paychex Knowledge Center. n

Franchise Development Marketing Has Gone Digital

BY KIRK ALLEN

Reshift Media is an award-winning digital marketing agency that develops strategies, processes, and technology to help franchise companies earn new customers and find new franchisees. Reshift supports more than 200 franchise clients in 22 countries across all aspects of digital media, including social media, influencer marketing, search, and website/ mobile development. Reshift was voted the World’s Best Franchise Marketing Firm at the 2023 & 2024 Global Franchise Awards and ranked #1 in Entrepreneur’s 2024 Top Franchise Suppliers Marketing Category.

Finding qualified franchisees to grow your franchise system is more complex than ever. Prospective franchisees have taken ownership of the process and are informing themselves by conducting their own research using Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and other digital avenues.

As a franchisor, this means you need to ensure franchisees can easily find you online, which makes a well-designed digital marketing strategy a necessity.

Generate qualified leads through search engines

The best thing about search is that people are explicitly telling you what they are interested in. For example, when someone uses Google to search “buy a restaurant franchise,” you can be certain that they are interested in a restaurant franchise. Search also tends to create strong leads, as people actively looking for information are typically closer to making a purchase decision.

The challenge with search is that it is incredibly competitive, both from an organic ranking and paid search perspective. It is critically important that you set up a content-rich franchising section on your website to aid in organic ranking. In addition, every franchisor should have a robust search engine advertising program to ensure you are getting in front of as many qualified candidates as possible.

Increase awareness with outbound marketing

Because search often occurs when people have made up their mind on their preferred industry/company, smart franchise systems also employ outbound digital marketing to reach people before they get to that stage. In this context, “outbound marketing” involves using social media, display, or other forms of advertising to reach people who may be interested in a franchise opportunity but aren’t necessarily at the decisionmaking stage.

Because these people are typically earlier in their process, we find it is best to avoid the “hard sell” at this point. Instead, provide people with useful information to help them make their decision. This can include things such as:

• Whitepapers with industry trends and other information

• Articles or videos that describe why your business opportunity a good fit for them

• Testimonials from franchisees talking about how strong and supportive your franchise brand is

Use retargeting to close the deal

Retargeting involves showing advertising to people who have previously expressed interest in your company. Typical ways of “expressing interest” could include the person visiting your website, clicking an ad, downloading a whitepaper or watching a video.

At some point, the prospect will shift from “passive” reading of information and will become “active” in seeking out an opportunity. This is typically when the person goes on Google and begins conducting searches. At this point, if the outbound marketing has done its job, the person should be conducting searches about your industry (or even better, your company) as they make their purchase decision. With the right setup, you can create an environment where prospective franchisees are seeing your brand online frequently – creating an effect that “this company is everywhere, they must be a big deal!” When in reality, you have micro-targeted a specific audience for a very reasonable budget. n

ROI: Measure Success by What Truly Matters

BY JAMIE ADAMS

Scorpion is the leader in helping franchise businesses drive revenue through digital marketing solutions. With technology focused on maximizing results at every step of the client journey, Scorpion is pushing the industry forward past a focus on leads, and toward a focus on what truly matters: revenue growth. Backed by award-winning AI, unmatched data, and more than 20 years of marketing expertise, Scorpion helps local businesses win more customers and more revenue. With Scorpion, there’s no guesswork, only growth. To learn more, visit Scorpion.co.

For many years, businesses struggled to understand the direct impact of their marketing efforts. Traditionally, one of the best ways to measure success was by understanding the number of people who “may” have seen an ad across different channels. And at the time, that was enough.

Enter the age of digital marketing, and transparency into success (while not perfect) became clearer. For the first time, businesses could see which leads were driven directly from their marketing and know their cost per lead (CPL). It was a huge step forward.

We’ve recently entered into an age where that’s no longer enough. What makes a lead a “good lead”? How should you prioritize the leads your network is getting? What locations can improve their lead quality? Most importantly, how are the leads you’re getting turning into customers and revenue? Those are the questions we are now in position to answer with marketing technology, investments in generative AI, and integrations with CRMs or other data warehouse solutions.

Let’s Start With Artificial Intelligence

Before we get to the lead-to-customer and revenue story, let’s talk about the rise of generative AI. It feels like AI is everywhere you turn these days. And no matter what you think about it, AI is here to stay. This should be a great thing for your brand and franchise network. AI can quickly analyze data and provide actionable insights, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. When it comes to marketing, AI can help optimize strategy, advertising spend, and how to target ideal audiences to improve results.

We’re seeing this firsthand through our collection of digital marketing solutions, RevenueMAX, powered by Scorpion AI. Within RevenueMAX, we have a product we call Leads AI that instantly transcribes every call driven by your digital marketing and assesses the potential customer's level of intent and likelihood of booking an appointment and buying from you. With that information, it scores and prioritizes leads based on your locations’ unique needs. By identifying which leads are most

likely to convert to high-revenue opportunities, it helps us refine your marketing to target your ideal customers— knowing where they are and what they're buying — so you can attract more of them. Lastly, it analyzes each customer interaction to provide suggestions for your team on how to improve their intake and customer experience processes. These are insights that were not possible for most brands at scale until now.

From Leads to Revenue

While understanding the quality of your leads is extremely important, understanding which leads turned into customers and revenue is even more critical. By integrating your marketing with your customer relationship management system (CRM), you can see exactly what is driving customer acquisition and revenue for your brand. Once that information is gathered, you can use AI to optimize your marketing strategy to invest in the channels that are yielding the best ROI / ROAS (return on ad spend). Fortunately, data integration doesn’t have to be a costly endeavor. With technological advancements, brands of all sizes can access cost-effective approaches and solutions to manage customer data and marketing efforts effectively.

Even better? AI and data integration no longer operate in silos, so it’s easier than ever to take advantage. When AI is used together with first-party data, it can facilitate, increase, and elevate a brand’s decision-making.

In Conclusion

The integration of technology has become increasingly vital for brands of all sizes. Yet, many brands overlook the importance of integrating their marketing and operational systems, potentially missing out on valuable opportunities to connect with customers and drive growth.

By knowing exactly how your marketing is performing through the power of integrations and advancements in AI, your brand can take its marketing to the next level. Stop spending valuable time piecing together what’s working and what’s not. Invest confidently in strategies and technologies that drive real growth and improve your marketing ROI. n

The Franchise Business Network (FBN) was started in 1993 by Fred DeLuca, founder of Subway, and was formerly known as the 2nd Tuesday Program. Today, there are more than thirty local chapters throughout the US that meet on a regular basis. The purpose of the network is to create an educational program where franchisors, franchisees and suppliers can meet to discuss current affairs and to create a political grassroots network for key issues that affect the franchise industry and small businesses.

Get involved with your local chapter by attending quarterly meetings to learn and network with the franchise community in your area. You can also volunteer as a speaker, roundtable facilitator, sponsor or meeting host! Being a co-chair for the Ohio chapter has allowed me to meet really inspiring and experienced franchise executives who are passionate about the franchise community!
