Company infrastructure
As a would-be franchisor, you must realize that your current management, operating and marketing techniques probably are insufficient in many ways for a successful franchise operation. For instance, a good computer sales employee isn’t necessarily a good computer franchise salesperson. A good field manager isn’t necessarily a good franchise manager, particularly when it comes to supervising multiple, independently operating franchisees. Company managers who have trained company employees informally, one on one, might not be qualified to adequately train a group of potential franchisees who have a significant amount of their savings at stake.
