  • Never Think Outside the Box

#1 Don’t Listen to Your Employees

To run a strong business, you’ll need to pay equal attention to both your employees and your customers. It’s no secret that happy employees make a strong business, which in turn makes happy customers. So why do franchise owners continue to ignore the wishes and demands of their employees? Keep your business an open environment where employees feel comfortable speaking their mind, and you’re opening a gateway to a happy work environment.

#2 Don’t Listen to Your Customers

On the opposite end of your employees are your customers, who truly are the lifeblood of your business. If you’re not striving every day to make sure that your customers are happy, you’re failing at Franchising 101! In addition to gaining more customers, it’s critical to make sure that you’re retaining existing customers who will stay customers for life. Strong customer service is non-negotiable.

In a classic case of egomania, there’s the franchise owner who insists on doing everything himself or herself. Newsflash: it’s impossible to run a sustainable business if you insist on doing everything yourself! A good cookie franchise is about trust and teamwork, in addition to the desire and drive for performing well. Hire a qualified, competent team that you can count on and watch your business flourish.
