These two shared genuine gold nuggets of information based on their experiences in franchising. The title of our presentation was “The Canadian Franchisor’s Masterclass: Attracting the Ideal Candidate and Successfully Launching Healthy Locations”. ✅ We talked about the critical, interdependent relationship between attracting ideal franchise candidates and successfully launching healthy new locations that then turn into raving fan validators when selling new franchise locations.
