An excellent question, and the first task I complete with a client is to make sure he or she knows the answer. So, a franchise is a distribution system. There are over 5000 franchise systems in the USA, and the range of quality is very broad. So, selecting the high quality franchise is critical. Even the best systems are not magic.
Success depends on the ability and dedication of the franchisee to use the system.
There are a lot of variables, and that is why there is always a range of performance in every franchise system. Let's talk about selecting the best franchise. This is a very important and very serious subject. It can be, but help is at hand. Many of the 5000-plus franchises are local or regional, and not available everywhere.
