Yep we said it, it’s the dreaded public speaking! Some Franchisors LOVE public speaking and other’s just hate it. The fact is, those franchisors that do it, get a better response to their franchise and increase numbers of leads at exhibitions. So we’re here to help you develop your confidence and skills in this area. For those more seasoned public speakers, we’ll help you create a more compelling presentation and develop tools that get the crowd running to you afterwards to find out more!

• How and why to speak at exhibitions
• What types of presentations capture the audience
• How to public speak in a compelling manner
• Create a follow-up tool that gets you more leads
• We’ll show you what other speaking opportunities you should be considering

Our speaker line up for this event is world class. Our Coconut team will share and teach you techniques for presenting to maximise impact on your audience. You will hear from 2 brilliant expert speakers that have so much to share to make the most of being in the limelight: Celia Delaney, from SpeakingSuccess shares her top tips on how to be compelling on stage and Business Development guru, Paul Avins offers his insights into maximising engagement for generating results.

Get a good night’s sleep before this workshop as we’ll have you up on your feet and engaged in activity all day long. You’ll leave with a decent plan and route forwards for speaking, as well as a good understanding of how you will capitalise on opportunities you do have and armed with your secret marketing tool!

We’re told time and time again by franchisors that they don’t fully understand how to utilise social media for marketing and franchise recruitment. We’ve been told that you guys WANT this day! So, we’ve carefully incorporated it into our 2014 programme for you! We’ll be covering in specific detail:

•  How to set up and utilise your own LinkedIn profile
• How and where Twitter works (and we’ll help you set it all up)
• Why YouTube is great (you will set up a branded YouTube channel too)
• How social media fits with your recruitment process
• When to use social media and when not to
• How to set up a schedule of automatic tweets to save you time!

In order for this day to work for you, you will need to bring along specific marketing items. We’ll send out a list before the workshop. Franchisors attending this day will not be disappointed with the new social media tools they learn to use, hone and brand up. You’ll leave this day with your social media platforms set up (or tweaked if you already have them). Call us if you have questions about your level of competence and whether this workshop is suitable for you.

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.
