FRANCHISE LEAD GENERATION

Targeting the best Owners for your brands is hard to do if you rely solely on franchise Consultants to send you leads. You are completely at their mercy in this scenario.

That’s why Raintree has spent a decade building the most comprehensive and successful digital lead generation program in the franchise industry. We incorporate robust inbound and outbound marketing strategies, where quality content is fed to the correct channels to intercept qualified buyers and pull them towards the business opportunity. This leads not only to an increase in the quantity of franchise buyers, but also an increase in the caliber of your buyer pool.

FRANCHISE SALES

Our franchise sales experts are experienced and highly skilled in the art of franchise recruitment and they have the track record to prove it. They understand the nuances of the franchise sales process and they know how to identify the prospects that are more likely to succeed as Franchise Owners.

Our Development Directors consider themselves as more of an educator and a gatekeeper, over a sales person. They become fiercely protective of the brands they represent and know the value in only recruiting franchisees who are likely to be high-performance Franchise Owners.

As part of managing your franchise sales, you’ll receive our assistance with:

what we don't do

We don’t sell franchises to just anyone.

1. CREATION OF DREAM OWNER AVATARS

Before we generate a lead, we will focus obsessively on understanding what makes your high-performing Franchise Owners tick. From backgrounds, skill sets, psychographics and more - we spend the time learning who is actually going to perform in your system.

2. INNOVATIVE LEAD TARGETING

Digital channels, when utilized properly, allow you to hone in on specific attributes of ideal candidates so you only spend your budget on leads who are likely to fit your ideal Franchise Owner profile.

3. QUALIFICATION PROCESS

We have a multitude of tools in our Discovery Process that act as checks and balances, to ensure the candidate truly matches the ideal Franchise Owner avatar.

4. TRAINED RECRUITERS

Our Development Directors quickly become fiercely protective of the brands they represent and know the value in only recruiting Franchise Owners who are likely to be top performers.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Our disciplined approach has three benefits:

increased royalty margins

improved franchisor bottom-line

higher likelihood of successful venture capital investment or acquisition

PARTNER SUPPLIERS

Over the past 5 years, we have been relentless in making sure we’ve identified the best suppliers, tools and lead generation channels available in the franchise industry. We then spent years using our volume buying power to ensure that our partner brands enjoy heavily- discounted rates across the board.

We take pride in passing on 100% of the volume savings directly to our brands.
