FSG: SEASONED TRAVELERS ON THE ROAD
To take the straightest, surest route to franchising
success, you'll want to choose experienced, tried-and-true
guides. The growing popularity of franchising over
the last twenty years has spawned many companies that
try to "fill the need" for franchising assistance.
Some consulting organizations have very impressive
offices and the high fees to go with them. What they
don't have is the hands-on experience of having been
franchisors themselves. The Franchise Strategies Group
would rather impress you with proven "in the trenches" experience
that our staff members bring to your table. With FSG
there will be no wrong turns or bad directions because
we already know the shortest distance to your goal.
The Franchise Strategies Group is made up of individuals
who truly are experts in their respective areas of
business. We are seasoned travelers on the road. Putting
FSG to work means you'll be getting the combined experience
of a knowledgeable, savvy, focused team of professionals
who can map out the road ahead precisely. FSG is committed
to your success, and we'll demonstrate that commitment
by using all the skills and resources available to
achieve it. And because FSG understands the cost of
doing business, we have arranged our fees to be compatible
with your budget, usually, well below the industry
average.
SALES AND MARKETING
We believe we have more "hands-on" experience
in selling franchises than any other consulting group
in the world. If your sales and marketing is not meeting
expectations, we may be able to give you a prescription
for improvement.
AGREEMENTS DISCLOSURES AND REGISTRATIONS
FSG's expertise in this area is vitally important. Legal
documents must be letter-perfect. We prepare complete,
comprehensive franchise or license agreements that
will become the actual framework for your expansion.
We make it our business to be up-to-date on all of
the current state registration requirements and Federal
Trade Commission rules. We'll work closely with attorneys
from both sides, yours and ours, to ensure that all
the regulators' requirements are met. Our services
include providing diskettes of your documents as well
as training your in-house staff person to act as a
compliance officer so that you can continue to meet
all the regulatory requirements at the lowest possible
cost to you.
FRANCHISEE RELATIONS PROGRAMS
A franchise operation works well when "the sum of
the parts is greater than the whole." Its called "SYNERGY".
If everyone works harmoniously this will occur. How do
you create the kind of relationships with franchisees
that will keep this unique dynamic going? "People
issues" can get complicated. FSG makes sure you're
prepared with franchisee relations and mediation programs
to handle the kind of franchisee issues that can destroy
the progress you've made. Our experience at problem solving
means we can head-off disasters before they happen, or
defuse a situation that's beginning to show the early
signs of trouble.
HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES
Where do you find qualified, competent, people to get
the job done in your organization? FSG, through its
industry-wide network of relationships can act as your
human resource department and find quality personnel
to meet most of your needs.
