High Performance Franchising  Greg Nathan

This highly interactive process starts with a review from the Franchise Relationships Institute research on what high performance franchisees do that make them so successful. It then moves into a workshop where franchisees identify their strengths and opportunities for development. Finally they work in small groups to identify best practices and share this with each other. Franchisees love this session because it is practical, engaging and useful.
