The Latest on Working With Franchise Sales Organizations, Agents and Brokers
November 3 at 1:30pm – 2:35pm
A franchisor is often able to sell franchised units itself for a period of time, through family members at first, then friends, then perhaps through customers who love the brand and want to open their own location, and of course through the franchisor’s own marketing efforts. But what happens next? Rather than hire an internal sales team, many brands turn to franchise sales brokers or even franchise sales organizations that are able to spread the word to their own network of contacts.
This workshop will dive into the rules and regulations surrounding brokers; contractual provisions commonly found in broker contracts; best practices for using brokers; registration obligations that arise when using brokers; common issues that occur when working with brokers between prospects and the franchisor; and potential liability to the franchisor for broker sales activities.
