T.J. Schier
T.J. Schier’s Replicable Systems
We love working with T.J. Schier. It is rare to find a speaker who truly is an operator or franchisee involved in the daily running of the business…as well as one who leads the pack on innovation and key business drivers…and has lived to speak about it! T.J. uses his franchised restaurants as a ‘social lab’ to test theories and practices to determine which are truly effective. He uses those strategies and tactics as the basis for his seminars – freely sharing data and results to drive key points home with owners and managers alike.
Not just an engaging presenter (though he is all that!), T.J. is known as ‘The Tactician’. His sessions are practical, tactical and operational – full of easy-to-implement ideas at the unit/manager/franchisee level to build sales, increase profits and engage people.
T.J.’s messages are as relevant and transformative to non-restaurant franchise systems as they are to food systems. He gets franchising like few other speakers.
More great clips on T.J. can be found here.

Send Flowers to the Living!
The best ‘people practices’ don’t have to be complicated or expensive to work. T.J. Schier’s practical, tactical book, Send Flowers to the Living is packed full of sincere, real, and relevant ways to engage and inspire teams of all sizes.
What’s that crazy title mean? Here’s T.J.’s explanation:
“When do flowers typically arrive in a relationship? Usually at the very beginning, when they ‘have to’ and at the end…at the funeral. The idea of ‘Sending Flowers to the Living!’ is a practical business approach to recognize your employees while they are still with you.
Recognize and reward above and beyond performance. Not only will you get more from the person you recognize, but you will also encourage others to start going above and beyond. Don’t wait until an employee turns in their notice to start heaping praise on them in hopes they stay…send flowers to the living!”
