Strike while the iron is hot!
Anyone who has been in sales for any length of time will tell you that when a buyer is ready to make a decision, you can’t leave them hanging. Remember, your leads are not only researching your franchise – they are researching your competition too!
That’s why it is so important to follow up quickly once you have an interested investor looking at your franchise. Alerts generated by FranchiseSoft let you know instantly about a new lead, so you can respond quickly either through email or via your call centre and increase your chances of making a sale.
Keep the conversation going.
It usually takes several touch points before making a sale, so it’s important to keep the lines of communication open with both your prospects and your franchise brokers. But as your contact list grows, this can become harder and harder to do on your own.
Through the FranchiseSoft CRM system, you can easily set up any number of email templates and campaigns to help keep your business top of mind and to guide franchisee candidates through the selection process.
Finding the right investors to buy into your franchise is an ongoing and often complex process. Trying to do so without the right tools can lead to costly mistakes. But doing so with a CRM program that is tailor designed to work with the franchise industry can not only lighten your load – it can give you a leg up on the competition.
