In the growing franchise community, the needs of the franchisees are numerous.  The franchisor is called upon to develop new products and deliver a wide-spectrum of services — including a knowledgeable field staff, marketing and operational support, and training.

The delivery of all of these services requires that the advisory skills of the field staff be fine-tuned so that they are equipped to give appropriate and knowledgeable advice — including the "dollars and cents" of a franchise owner. We work with an expanding number of franchise networks because our Profit Mastery process is so effective at improving both the profitability and cash flow of an individual business and the network as whole.

Here are just a few of the skills we can help you build:

  • Diagnose and monitor your company's financial performance

  • Use break-even analysis to make better decisions relating to cost, price, and profits

  • Avoid cash crunches and increase cash flow

  • Plan for and manage growth

  • Communicate more effectively with bankers and other financial professionals

  • Structure a loan that's the right fit for your business

We deliver financial know-how in a straightforward approach. For over 40 years our Profit Mastery program has partnered with the International Franchise Association (IFA) — and worked with dozens of individual franchisors.  Our program, “Profit Mastery:  Financial Bootcamp,” is the financial cornerstone of IFA’s CFE program — and we are consistently top-rated presenters for panels, workshops, and round-tables.  In addition, Profit Mastery has been introduced to nearly all seven continents (Antarctica is proving to be a little difficult).

The most common way for us to meet your organization for the first time is to deliver a keynote general session (90 minutes) and related workshop (90 minutes) at your next national/regional conference. Our presentations consist of a combination of information, motivation and humor. We are typically the top-rated presenters at any conference we attend. Our instructors have a tremendous ability to motivate audiences and build excitement around the usually dreaded "numbers" topic.  Contact us and let us show you how to bring "numbers know-how" to life. Your financial success and strength depends on it.
