But, how important is it to each of you that these people are the right profile vs. just a franchise sale? Do they have the right stuff to execute your business model? How do you know? Do you use any type of benchmarking of the existing owner/operators? Do you have any further responsibility to your organization after the sale is made? Or, do you move on to the next sale? Glad to hear about successes!

As the owner of a nationwide mystery shopping firm, we are finding that more and more franchise corporations are paying attention to how their franchisees are doing and what the public thinks of the level of service that's being provided through the secret shopping process. I love the fact that you pointed out that not everything can be blamed on the economy. Sometimes a company needs to take a critical look at its offering and operations. Thanks! Angela Megasko, Pres.

Spot on as usual. We anticipated higher franchise sales than we have gotten this year but we have been able to do a few along with a number of new development deals and we are currently looking at some financing options that we think will increase the throughput.

You can add a little startup that started franchising in June 2008. So far ShelfGenie has 77 units sold. Oh yes, there are no Development Agents or Master Licenses, just individual sales. And since there is no brink and mortar, they're operational. Yep. Franchise sales are happening. It’s a blessed year for franchise sales.
