New-owner launch.

Launch kits, training and one marketing playbook, so a new franchisee is selling in weeks instead of quarters.

The first 90 days decide the next three years.

A new franchisee who gets leads in week one builds momentum. One who spends six months figuring out marketing builds doubt — and corporate carries the cost in slow ramp, weak royalties and a validation call that does not help sell the next unit.

Launch kit

Everything live before the doors open.

A new owner should not be choosing an ad platform in their first week. The marketing system is built, tested and switched on as part of onboarding.

Target: a new owner is generating leads in their first weeks, not their first quarter.
  • Location landing page. Built for their market, their service area and their contact details.
  • Campaigns ready to run. Ad account, targeting and creative configured against their protected territory.
  • Follow-up configured. AI follow-up, booking and A2P registration handled before the first lead arrives.
  • Tracking in place. Reporting connected from day one, so their numbers are visible from the first dollar spent.
  • Local listings. Google Business Profile claimed, filled in and ready to collect reviews.
Training

Owners do not need to learn marketing. They need to handle a lead.

We train on the handful of behaviors that actually change results, and leave the rest to the system.

  • Lead handling. What to do when a lead comes in, and what never to do.
  • Speed to lead. Why minutes matter, and how the AI follow-up backs them up when they are on a job.
  • Running the estimate. Converting a booked appointment into a sold job.
  • Reading their numbers. How to use their dashboard without needing a marketer to interpret it.
  • Live and recorded. Onboarding sessions plus a library new hires can work through any time.
The playbook

One marketing standard every location follows.

The reason franchising works is that the operations are documented. Marketing rarely is. The playbook closes that gap, so results stop depending on which owner is running the unit.

  • Documented standard. What runs, at what budget, in what season, with what offer.
  • Proven offers. Offers tested across markets before they become the standard.
  • Compliance rules. The claims every location can and cannot make, enforced in the creative.
  • Benchmarks. The numbers a healthy location hits, so corporate can spot drift early.
  • Updated centrally. When something works in one market, it is rolled into the playbook for all of them.

What corporate gets out of it.

Enablement is not a franchisee perk. It is the piece that protects the system.

Faster ramp

New units reach revenue sooner, which means royalties sooner and less support burden on your team.

Better validation

Franchisees who are getting leads give better validation calls, which directly affects how fast you sell the next unit.

Less variance

When every location runs the same playbook, the gap between your best and worst units narrows.
