Franchisee Satisfaction Surveys.

We love helping our clients with franchisee satisfaction surveys, to help clients have more satisfied franchisees. Satisfied franchisees are more likely to renew their current agreement and grow their business to take on multiple units, leading to a natural advantage in driving growth.

Our franchisee satisfaction research services span franchisee journey mapping, franchisee engagement workshops, franchisee satisfaction surveys and depth interviews as well as providing the option to enter our annual Topfranchise awards.

Reporting is tailored to each client’s needs with flexibility to go into detail via interactive dashboards and video vox pops, as well as providing succinct written insights and presentations on the key opportunities for your senior leaders and board.

Ultimately our goal is to help you have a thriving franchise culture where you are able to take franchisee satisfaction to the next level.

What makes franchisee satisfaction surveys important?

Our years of franchisee satisfaction survey data shows us that purposefully taking care of your franchisees leads to the best outcomes for all stakeholders.

Utilising research to drive an increase in franchisee satisfaction can advance your organisation in four key ways:

Franchisees who renew, extend and recommend: Satisfied franchisees are more likely to renew beyond their current agreement, have a desire to grow their business or take on multiple units, and recommend you (NPS) as a Franchisor of Choice.
Increased customer satisfaction: Hundreds of franchisee satisfaction surveys for franchisors on both franchisee satisfaction and customer satisfaction, have shown us that passionate franchisees leads to higher levels of customer satisfaction.
Driving growth: Given our experience in sales data aggregation and marketing sizing, we have seen clients with satisfied franchisees have a natural advantage in driving year on year comparative growth in their sales for each franchised unit. Satisfied franchisees are more likely to buy into the company vision and implement products/services and customer engagement strategies that drive growth.
◉ Improved quality of life for franchisees: We know that by creating an amazing franchisee experience you will improve the quality of life for your valued franchisees.

So, whether your brand is new to market, a growing brand or a well-established brand, we can help you understand and track your franchisee engagement experience, so you can make better, faster decisions on how to take your franchisee engagement to new heights.
