Franchisee and Franchisor Relationships

Franchisee and Franchisor Relationships

The very nature of franchising, with its public persona and duplication method ensures that franchisees are well trained on the importance of good communications within the network, and of good ethical business practices. But to fully succeed, the franchise relationships between franchisor and franchisee needs to be a two-way street that leads to a win-win scenario.

An open communication channel between the franchisor and franchisee on all levels is crucial to the success of the franchise, as is the relationships with suppliers and customers. As franchising is all about building a brand, teamwork on all levels is crucial and must emanate from the very top and work its way right down the franchise chain.

Franchisors and franchisees are always in the spotlight – whether it’s representing their brand, dealing with franchisor, motivating staff, negotiating with suppliers and putting their best foot forward with your customers.
