		<description><![CDATA[I am a recent Action Coach Franchise Owner

I have bought and sold 7 franchises in the past 

If you want to build an international franchise - always look if you can check the following check boxes - build your Group with the following in mind

My 7 learnings as a successful franchisee (and in order of merit)

1.  Buy the top franchise model in the industry ie if Pizza franchise - buy top franchise in the country (3 -5 years)
2.  If passionate founders are present - big YES
3.  Strict CODE OF CONDUCT and HIGH OPERATIONAL STANDARDS
4.  Consistency throughout group
5.  Are more than the 20% making money (real good money) - otherwise its an average franchise
6.  Buy in before the big growth is realised - ie see the potential for the group and buy in before everyone wants in
7.  Is the franchisor operationally focused or customer focused? If operationally focused - GET OUT!

Build a franchise with the above in mind and you will have a winner

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m developing my family business so that i can franchise it.
After join ActionCoach you&#039;ll understand that the only reason you build a business is to sell it. 
Build your business and sell it, your highest profit is usually when you sell your business :D

Thank you ActionCoach,

		<description><![CDATA[I joined ActionCOACH for the following reasons;

1. Great Business model with equally good margins and leverage.
2. The caliber of the People in the organization.
3. Support and Training are all World Class.
4. The ability to deliver positive results to Clients

I think buying a Franchise, one has to recognize that there has to be a &quot;fit&quot; between the Franchisee, Franchisor and the Product or Service being delivered - only if all three are aligned will the model work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three critical factors in what makes a quality franchise company and how to measure the concept.

1. Has the Franchisor validated(is there a National or International want or need) the industry they are entering.
2. Have they created a working model/prototype that can sustain and be profitable for all.
3. Can they duplicate it so others can follow it to achieve the goals they desire.

In franchising, it has to work for three parties to be successful.
1. The Franchisor
2. The Franchisee
3. The Client/Customer]]></description>
