Franchising is an effective business model. The successes come from a strong relationship between the franchisor and franchisees. Some of the strategies for managing franchise relationships effectively include communication, responsibilities, support, and others.
BNI encourages franchisees to share their ideas, feedback and/or concerns. Regular communication between the franchise and franchisees is an essential part of your success. Constant communication with team members, National Directors, Executive Directors, and Members is an important part of BNI’s business model. Open and honest communication is critical for your business to thrive.
Both the franchisor and franchisees have specific roles and responsibilities that must be clearly defined. This is to ensure that everyone knows what is expected of them and that there is a clear understanding of how decisions will be made and how conflicts will be resolved.
Here at BNI we can’t say it enough: BNI provides franchisees with the tools and resources they need to succeed, such as training programs, marketing materials, and operational support. BNI is with you every step of the way to help guide you through your franchise with our proven business model.
We not only expect but encourage our franchisees to network and build relationships with each other. There are numerous ways franchisees can build a network if they don’t have an established network prior to coming on board as a franchisee. We encourage organizing events, training sessions, social media posts, etc.
It is important that the franchisor maintains control over certain aspects of the franchise, such as branding and quality control. It is also important to appreciate differences and opinions. Therefore, franchisees are encouraged to run their businesses as they see fit, within BNI’s established model.
You may notice early on that at BNI we constantly celebrate the successes of individual franchisees and the company. BNI recognizes achievements and milestones as we communicate the positive impact that the franchise is having on the surrounding communities across the world.
Recognition is one of BNI’s Core Values. It creates a supportive and collaborative environment that benefits everyone involved.
