https://www.linkedin.com/in/johncarpenter/ (John Carpenter) of https://us.expensereduction.com/find-a-consultant/john-carpenter/ (Expense Reduction Analysts) observes that topline sales is a powerful growth engine for business, but controlling expense is an often neglected but highly effective way to grow.  Nothing is more efficient at increasing profit, EBITDA, and valuation than a dollar of savings on expenses.  A dollar in savings will increase EBITDA and profit by one dollar.  On the other hand, only 20 cents of a dollar in sales will make it to EBITDA and profit.  Likewise, when it comes to valuation, a dollar in savings is over five times more efficient than a dollar in sales.   John provides a 4 step process for wringing every extra dollar out of your expenses without hurting your capability to deliver your service.  Listen to the end to get the details of his gift to our listeners.

It can be easy to get lost amidst all of the noise when you're at the top, but the best franchise leaders don't ignore the details. For Steve White, president and COO of PuroClean, this means speaking personally with each and every new member of his team; from franchise owners, to support staff.   Having been in the industry for 35 years, Steve knows a thing or two about franchising. He initially made the transition back in 1986 after serving with the United States Army, and soon learned that much of what he picked up in his military career could be useful elsewhere. On this platform, he's managed to build a strong set of leadership principles that guide him today.   If you're looking for a masterclass in how to serve your franchisees and customers with integrity, then look no further.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

Like many of its competitors in the restaurant franchising space, P.F. Chang's has had something of a shift this year with a push for its brand-new To Go locations, alongside self-delivery across its North American portfolio. This is somewhat at odds with the brand's flagship Las Vegas site that promises “theatre on a plate”, but regardless, the off-premise pivot has led to increased growth across its domestic and international sites.   To get more of an idea of what the future holds for P.F. Chang's, we wanted to catch up with Kristen Briede, vice president of international & global brands. Kristen has been with the organization for over 16 years, which makes her the perfect person to speak to about P.F. Chang's development over the past few years, and its ambitious plans for the future.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

The fitness industry has had a rollercoaster for 18 months, with many operations having to close their doors during the pandemic. But now that things are gradually returning to normal, the in-person workout experience is gaining traction more so than ever before.   That being said, it's reported that 80 per cent of North Americans still don't belong to a gym. Well, Snap Fitness, the premium fitness franchisor under the Lift Brands banner, is looking to change that. Earlier this year, the brand announced a complete remodeling of its existing locations, and something of an identity change. This included a new website, logo, and pivot that put the focus on how people feel, as opposed to their physical appearance.   But has this rebrand panned out? To find out more, we caught up with two of Lift Brands' heavy hitters: Andy Peat, chief product officer, and Rose Minar, chief marketing officer. Join us as we run down the past few months of Snap Fitness' evolution, and what the brand could look like as we move into 2022.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

Marshall Chapman with Expense Reduction Analysts talks with Host Paul Hittner about his brand development journey here in DFW.  His past in outside sales taught him how valuable it is to listen to people with empathy.  When you can repeat back what your client has spoken to you, in your own words, communication goes to a whole new level. That's super important in sales, and that's super important in branding. Marshall attributes networking in DFW as a major success factor. The variety of people we can talk to at networking events is wide and limitless, which makes his ability to resource great services and great rates for his clients a valuable edge.Ready to take a closer look at your expenses, and find money inside your own business to fund operational costs you've been wanting to implement?

The world of franchising often attracts experts and leaders from industries outside of its close-knit communities, such as NBA All-Star James Worthy and his recent partnership with business collaboration franchise, M3Linked.   Following a wildly successful career in the NBA, James is now primarily known for his work as a sports commentator and analyst at Spectrum SportsNet – but he's not finished with learning. By engaging with M3Linked's Los Angeles community, he's able to collaborate and learn from business leaders that bring alternative perspectives.   It's this sense of community and teamwork that really defines the franchise model, which is why we wanted to catch up with James to talk about his new partnership with the franchise, the lessons he's learned from the NBA and the advice that he'd give to business leaders who want to make 2022 their most rewarding yet.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up for our newsletter at global-franchise.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

We've spoken to many fitness professionals this year to get a clear understanding of the past, present, and exciting future of the industry. None of our previous guests, however, have opened co-branded locations with soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo or partnered with Apple to dominate the wearables market.  To get the inside scoop on Crunch Fitness' growth, we spoke with Ben Midgley, CEO and founding partner of Crunch Franchise, who has been immersed in big fitness for over a decade. It's that expertise, and Midgley's commitment to relationship building, that has allowed Crunch to open new locations every single month of this year's pandemic, bar one. Because at the end of the day: “the overall offering of a gym will determine where a consumer chooses to go”.  To keep your finger on the beating pulse of franchising, sign up to our newsletter at globalfranchisemagazine.com, subscribe to our definitive magazine, and join the conversation with our experts today on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.

Few U.S. brands exemplify the American Dream quite like The Halal Guys. Starting as a New York food cart in 1990, the concept was then nurtured and grown into the international powerhouse it is today; with Asia now rivalling the States as a key market for the forward-thinking franchise.  But how did The Halal Guys' streetside beginnings lead to brick-and-mortar success, and what role do cloud kitchens play in turning it into a diverse, exciting, and tech-driven organization?  Find all of this and more out on this episode of the podcast, as we sit down with CEO Ahmed Abouelenein to hear about how he's evolving this conceptually niche franchise into a household name.

Any fitness concept, boutique or big-box, has a responsibility to the wellbeing of a population. At least, that's the stance of Adam Sedlack, co-founder of MMA-centric workout brand UFC GYM, which has been conquering the global fitness market with its premium offering since it was founded just over a decade ago.  Despite the pandemic, business has been booming. So much so that as well as consistent success in the more than 37 countries that UFC GYM already operates in, the brand is on track to open “more gyms in the next four to five months and in any stretch of the organization”.  How have they managed it? By always following the brand's “North Star”, and ensuring that UFC GYM's premium price point offers the deepest value proposition in town.  Find out about all this, the potential decline after the boutique boom, and the dangers of a low-cost model, on this episode of the Global Franchise Podcast.

One of the main draws for franchising, especially for busy entrepreneurs trying to juggle life's many responsibilities with a fulfilling career, is the ability to work for yourself, on your own terms. For Christine Kelly, the founder of children's soccer franchise Little Kickers, this was the main motivator behind kick-starting her own brand. In 2002, her two-year-old son wanted somewhere to play soccer, and she wanted a new career.  Fast-forward 18 years, and Little Kickers is now an award-winning international network. Christine's new goal? “Making Little Kickers as important as breakfast.” She's doing that by prioritizing communication, and making the end-user experience as convenient as possible – keeping students engaged, making sure parents can track their progress, and bringing the brand to the forefront of a family's weekly schedule.  On this episode of the podcast, find out how the brand managed to retain 96 per cent of its customers during lockdown, and why 2021 could be Little Kickers' greenest year yet.

In a time when every business is looking at ways to save money, Expense Reduction Analysts and its cost-optimization concept has never felt so relevant.

On this episode, we speak with Arnd Halbach, chief sales officer, EMEA, about the infallible appeal of the brand during tough times, ERA's new Italian franchisees brought on-board during the country's most turbulent months, and why cost optimization never goes out of style.
