encourages franchisees to pick up the phone and call them if they ever need assistance. In this way, even as the company advances digitally, the older yet tried and true ways of communicating remain a major part of the franchise’s winning formula, and the overall culture is one of support and reliability. “We do all of their back office, we review their listings, we critique, we give them advice. We have a whole back office staff that acts as their admin, so they’re not hiring a bunch of staff.
