attention
- A willingness to commit substantial amounts of time and money upfront to ensure the initial and ongoing success of the franchise system
- Good communication skills - the ability to communicate with people of all types in a clear and efficient manner is essential
- An ability to motivate others - being able to instill in others the same passion you have for your business system
- Being able to be a good trainer - an ability to train franchisees and their staff how to use and operate your business system.
- An ongoing commitment once the system is established to commit for the long haul, to monitor performance of the system, create marketing initiatives, provide further training and to assist franchisees who require support
