Podcasts about franchise sales

Franchise growth strategy is more than signing new franchisees—it's about building the right foundation, attracting the right people, and scaling smart. Few understand this better than Joe Mathews, Founder and CEO of Franchise Performance Group, who has spent nearly four decades shaping some of the world's most recognized franchise brands. From his early leadership roles with Subway and Fantastic Sams to advising brands like Marco's Pizza and many others, Mathews has witnessed firsthand what separates long-term franchise success from short-term expansion. His experience writing five industry-leading books and contributing to major publications like Entrepreneur, USA Today, and Fortune underscores his authority on franchise development. A true student of franchising, Mathews built Franchise Performance Group to provide brands with a full-service, outsourced franchise development solution. His work goes beyond lead generation; it focuses on aligning franchisee and franchisor goals, building systems that foster success, and creating sustainable brand growth that lasts well beyond the initial sale. At the heart of Mathews' approach to franchise growth strategy is the understanding that great franchise brands are built on great franchisees. It's not about awarding as many territories as possible—it's about recruiting partners who share the brand's mission, values, and long-term vision. He emphasizes that smart franchise expansion is a careful balance of ambition and discipline. Mathews explains that many emerging franchisors fall into the trap of chasing growth for growth's sake. Without the right systems in place—operational training, marketing support, real estate development, and leadership alignment—franchise networks become fractured and inconsistent. This, he argues, is where the real danger lies: rapid growth without operational excellence can undermine a brand's reputation faster than anything else. A successful franchise growth strategy requires brands to invest deeply in the success of their franchisees. Mathews points out that franchisors who view franchisees as customers, rather than partners, miss the opportunity to build truly high-performing networks. Franchisees need to be empowered, supported, and continually trained to deliver the brand experience at the highest level. Another critical factor Mathews emphasizes is lead generation quality over quantity. Rather than relying on high-volume lead pipelines that attract the wrong candidates, he advocates for targeted, relationship-driven development strategies that focus on cultural fit, financial qualifications, and alignment with the brand's long-term mission. Strong franchise growth strategy starts with strong franchisee recruitment. Mathews also addresses how the landscape of franchising is shifting. Post-pandemic dynamics, rising interest in semi-passive ownership models, and heightened franchisee expectations are changing how brands must approach development. He stresses that adaptability, transparency, and authenticity are now non-negotiable for brands that want to attract and retain top-tier franchisees. Elevating a franchise growth strategy, Mathews explains, also means knowing when to say no. Not every prospective franchisee is the right fit, and franchisors must have the courage to protect their brand by being selective. A few wrong partnerships early on can have a cascading effect that damages unit economics, customer experience, and brand perception. Franchise success, he insists, is about more than the franchise disclosure document or initial franchise fee. It's about creating a complete, ongoing support system that positions franchisees to succeed and scale within the system. When franchisors prioritize the success of their network first, sustainable brand expansion becomes the natural outcome. Joe Mathews' philosophy offers a timely reminder that growth is not a goal—it's a result. Smart brands focus on operational excellence, franchisee success, and cultural alignment long before they hit national recognition. With decades of experience and proven systems, Mathews continues to shape the future of franchising by helping brands grow the right way, not just the fast way. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

We are meeting with John Ramsay, VP of Franchise Sales for Noodles & Company. Since 1995, the mission at Noodles & Company has been to nourish and inspire every team member, guest, and community they serve. All these years later, these core values remain at the heart of everything they do. From their menu to their service to the way they do business, it's their fresh, unexpected, human perspective that sets them apart. They call this Uncommon Goodness. Noodles & Company franchise locations are essential pillars in their communities and give back to the community in the following ways: Mac & Cheese Trade-Up Events Noodles & Company hosts Mac & Cheese Trade-Up events where guests donate a box of Mac & Cheese and trade it in for a free bowl of Wisconsin Mac & Cheese. Noodles & Company donates the traded-in Mac & Cheese boxes to local food banks. School Fundraising Nights Noodles & Company locations host school fundraising nights throughout the year, where schools receive a portion of sales from the night. Participating in Local Cultural Events Noodles & Company franchisees are proud to participate in local cultural events for holidays like Black History Month, Pride, and Hispanic Heritage Month to show the community, team members, and guests that Noodles & Company supports everyone in its community. With more than 450 restaurants in 26 states and over 8,000 team members, we were named one of America's Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes two years in a row. And we have been recognized by the Denver Business Journal as one of the Best Places to Work. We believe these successes are based on our unique and caring culture that makes everyone who walks through our doors feel welcome and appreciated. In part two, we play a clip from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast.

     Born to teenage parents in the South, James Webb grew up poor. He began working in sales at just five years old. His environment alone taught him how to survive in business and life.

He's out to teach young entrepreneurs how important resilience is when it comes to being successful.       James went from working for free at a hospital for two years to selling MRI machines in Central America (Nicaragua).

Empowering Your Team to Deliver a Great Customer Experience Shep Hyken interviews Julius Robinson, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Marriott International. He shares what organizations can learn about customer service from the hospitality industry and how to equip employees to meet and exceed customer expectations. Top Takeaways:    ·      The fundamentals of customer service start with individual customer interactions. First, we must learn how to deal with all the different inquiries at the start of the customer's journey. Then, try to meet them where they are so we can anticipate their needs and find opportunities to enrich their experience.   ·      Technology has allowed customers to take control of their experience. If done right, technology can help provide the great experience they expect from your brand.   ·      Julius Robinson also shares two things organizations can do to create a great customer experience.   1.    Ask the right questions. Customers don't always verbalize what their needs and wants are. Make time to find out what they expect from you.  2.    Empower your employees to deliver a great experience. Find out what the customers' end goals are. An example from the hospitality industry is if it is a family that hasn't travelled since the pandemic started and is concerned about health, employees need to have the information and tools to give the customers confidence in a safe travel experience.   ·      Marriott International believes that if you take care of your associates, they will take care of the customer. They call it the TakeCare culture. It is a culture that is all about listening, having empathy, responding with clarity, and delivering on the customer's expectations. Quote:  "Enable your teams to overcome problems authentically. Empower them with broad guidelines and proper training, and they will do great things for the customers."   About:   Julius Robinson is the Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at Marriott International. He leads the disciplines of Sales, Distribution, Field Marketing, Franchise Sales, Marketing & Revenue Management Support, and Public Relations and Crisis Communications for Marriott International. Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio. Learn more about your ad choices.
