Setting Up the Foundation
For Franchise Development
Build the marketing infrastructure your franchise needs before you sell a single unit.
The Challenge
Most Franchises Start Selling Before They're Ready
The FDD is registered, the broker calls are starting, and the first lead form goes live on a website that was built for consumers, not candidates. Leads get emailed to a personal inbox. There's no nurture sequence. The discovery day deck is a Google Doc. Six months in, the founder is doing every step of the sales process by hand and there's no way to hand it off.
Our Approach
We Build the Infrastructure First
We sequence the build so each piece feeds the next. Nothing goes live until the system behind it is ready to handle the lead, the call, and the follow-up.
What's Included
Deliverables
Brand & Positioning
Candidate-facing positioning, proof points, and messaging hierarchy. Includes investor-ready language for the FDD candidate audience, distinct from your consumer brand voice.
Franchise Development Website
A standalone fran dev site (or subdomain) built around the candidate journey: territory check, investment range, day-in-the-life, FAQ, and a lead form that maps directly into the CRM.
CRM & Lead Routing
HubSpot or your existing CRM configured for franchise sales: lead source tracking, broker attribution, deal stages that match your real sales process, and automated handoff to the right person.
Nurture Sequences
Email cadences for cold leads, broker leads, post-discovery-day candidates, and stalled deals. Written for the candidate buyer, not the consumer.
Sales Collateral
Discovery day deck, candidate one-pager, validation guide, and broker-facing materials. Versioned in one place so the sales team is never presenting last quarter's numbers.
Reporting Baseline
A pipeline dashboard that tracks lead, MQL, discovery day, and signed agreement counts and costs. The number you'll point at in your next board meeting.
Our Process
What Working With Us Looks Like
Audit
Two-week review of current site, CRM, broker workflow, and any existing pipeline data. We surface what's working and what to replace.
Plan
We deliver a sequenced build plan with owners, dates, and the order of operations so nothing launches before the system that supports it.
Build
Site, CRM, sequences, and collateral built in parallel against the plan. Weekly working sessions, not monthly status meetings.
Launch
Soft launch to a small lead source first (broker or organic) to pressure-test the funnel before paid spend turns on.
Handoff
Documentation, training, and a 30-60-90 day plan for either your internal team or our development marketing department to take it over.

Let's TalkExpected Outcomes
What You Can Expect
A franchise development funnel that works end-to-end on day one: site, CRM, follow-up, and reporting all wired together.
Founders and sales leaders stop running the pipeline out of inboxes and spreadsheets, and start running it out of one system anyone on the team can use.
When you're ready to spend on lead gen, the infrastructure is already in place to absorb it without breaking.
