Inaugural Franchise Recruitment Summit will share best practice, proven strategies and ideas

June 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Designed to help franchise professionals recruit more quality franchisees, this key event takes place on 20th July 2011 in Oxfordshire.

This ground-breaking conference will enable visitors to access thought leadership from across the industry, all under one roof, on one single day.  They will gain insights on areas including:
• Developing a smart franchise recruitment marketing plan
• Understanding how the internet is changing relationship management in franchising
• Converting satisfied franchisees into a recruitment advantage

• Qualifying franchisees for finance – plus help and advice in raising finance

Seminar speakers include experts from Coconut Creatives, Franchise Finance, Franchise Resales, Fran Web and Smith & Henderson.  

The Summit is the brain child of Steven Frost, a Partner at Smith & Henderson, which specialises in helping reputable franchisors recruit franchisees that are profitable and follow the system.  Steven remarked, “Almost every year, the BFA / Natwest survey shows that one of the biggest challenges franchisors face is recruiting sufficient numbers of suitable franchisees.  That’s why we’ve organised this unique event, which brings together the best in the business to share their knowledge and help franchisors overcome the recruitment challenge.”

To ensure the Summit is accessible for all franchisors, the price to attend is only £59+VAT.   There will be refreshments on arrival, with some time for networking and a hot lunch between the thought provoking seminars.

Franchise professionals can book their place by visiting www.FranchiseSummit.co.uk.  We recommend booking early because spaces are limited.
