Some of these components include: a strong LinkedIn strategy with robust personal profiles for the executives and sales team, optimized company pages that highlight company culture, and new showcase pages that can drill down into the franchise opportunity.

What a Master Franchise Owner Is
What a Unit Owner is
Scott – Discuss some of the challenges you have finding master owners . Share that you use a broker system but need to build a stronger online presence and relationship with candidates online. The goal is to share and communicate better the brand story, business opportunity and how Maid Right is a solution to many people looking to be their own boss, build a legacy or as an investment opportunity.
Scott – Discuss some of the challenges you and your master owners have finding Unit Franchise Owners. Communicating the value to existing indenpendant local cleaning companies the power of the national brand, marketing and operation process. Educating on how a small business in within reach for many who didn’t think is was possible.
Scott- We knew that many of our ideal owners were on LinkedIn exploring other career or business opportunities. We knew this approach was successful in franchising and specifically the home service franchise space because of a case study LinkedIn published about some of the work Nicole Hudson did before she started her own company. We decided to go to Inbound Lead Solutions for helping building out our social strategy in Franchise Development. Pass over to me and I will beiefly touch on this and then go into Maid Right.
