Fellow franchisees, I wish you all a happy
New Year with much success in your
endeavors in 2014. I am very excited to announce that this year’s
conference is entitled “Planning for Growth.” With the
economy slowly but surely
rebounding, and capital access at its best point since
pre-recession, there will
be opportunities abound
for franchisees to make
measurable strides in their
business. However, the best
growth is intelligent growth
and that comes with proper
planning, measurable objectives
and disciplined decision making.
This year’s conference will feature the
major aspects of successful growth through the
lens of finance, marketing and talent management. We
are planning sessions with content that is new and fresh with operators who have mastered these key areas of business. Further, we
have introduced tracks so that the content is tailored to the specific
needs of the operator in various stages of development.
The Multi-Unit Franchising Conference is a unique event because
it is highly influenced by its advisory board consisting of the very
best multi-unit franchisees. The board works very hard to ensure that
the conference delivers on its promise of being the best venue for
franchisees to learn how to grow their business.
I look forward to seeing you at the conference this year,
it will be a not-to-miss event for all multi-unit franchisees!
