Create An Immersive Story. Hold Nothing Back
Lead with the franchisee benefits of what you do
A great story is insightful and relevant to a serious lead. A great story draws serious leads in and captures their attention. When you write a great story make sure it appears everywhere.
Tell your story in brochures, sales sheets, videos, direct mail, on the phone, email campaigns, webinars and presentations, and blog posts.
Searching for a great franchise opportunity is just like shopping for any other high-end good or service.
A serious buyer, with intent, will thoroughly research available options. Then develop a short list to dive into. You want them to immerse themselves in your story; and ultimately short-list you.
