- Franchise Unit Value
- Lead to Deal
- Tech Partnership
- Lead Gen Reach & Cost
Franchise Unit Value
The old way of focusing on initial franchise fees creates a smash and grab goal. Franchise salespeople need numbers on the board, but company executives are thinking bigger and longer term. The here and now value is important, yes, but what about three to ten years from now?If you want to predict the expected new deal value over the average deal term including royalty collections and other metrics, run our Franchise Unit Value Calculator:
Lead to Deal
How many leads turn into deals? Well, it varies wildly based on several different factors. Under the hood are up-to-date research, brand details, and industry averages. It’s crucial to consider your current or speculative lead flow to see how many deals can come from your sales efforts, plus what your ROI could be before pulling the trigger.
If your franchise organization wants to forecast how many deals you can realistically expect to close from online leads, as well as project ROI, use our Lead to Deal Calculator:
Tech Partnership

Lead Gen Reach & Cost
Transparency in pricing instills confidence and trust, plus it's the right thing to do. But where do you want to target, and how much is the minimum investment for your brand? Understanding how your brand details and sales strategy affects your marketing reach is important. And once you gain a greater understanding of how CPL is determined, you can take agency over it, and grow!
