Throughout this full day workshop we break our Discovery Day programme down into bite-sized chunks and show you how to build your own tailored programme to improve your conversion ratios. This day covers both the group and 1 to 1 methodology and therefore is suitable for any franchisor wanting to meet a prospective franchisee face to face… yep that should be all of you!
- Learn why the group discovery day works
- Learn why the 1 to 1 environment works
- Learn whether group or 1 to 1 is better for your specific brand
- Map your new process with us during the day
- Learn what collateral you should use at what stage to keep your prospects hot
You will leave this day with a new process mapped out for handling your leads. It is vital that you bring along your existing process so we can work with you on improving this.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some delegates had to say speaking about last year’s workshop on this topic…
“Lots of ‘takeaway’ – problem being which great idea to implement first…. Great problem to have.”
Suzanne Bell, The Alternative Board
“Sarah and the team deliver a relaxed, enjoyable and informative day, based on content that is actually happening in the market place today with their client base. This gives me confidence to make small changes to our selection process that could make a big difference”
Simon Darlaston, The Little Gym
“A reminder that like all things you must trust the professionals and Coconut are very much that.”
Paul Crow, Ripples
