Many brands struggle with inefficient lead generation, unqualified prospects and wasted marketing spend. Our data-driven approach ensures that franchisors connect with the right prospects, those who are genuinely interested, financially qualified, and aligned with their brand.1851: What type of franchise brands do you like to work with?Wyly:&nbsp;We love working with franchise brands that have a strong value proposition, over 5 units open and operating for more than 1 year with open territory and are ready to scale. Whether they’re emerging franchises looking for their first wave of franchisees or established brands aiming for strategic growth, we help them build a pipeline of high-intent prospects. We particularly enjoy partnering with brands that value data-driven decision-making and are open to innovative lead-generation strategies.1851: What is one franchise success story you are proud of?Wyly:&nbsp;One of our proudest success stories is working with a fast-growing home services franchise that struggled to find the right franchisees. By leveraging our proprietary prospecting and targeting methods, we identified high-potential candidates who were a perfect fit for their business model. Within months, they saw a significant increase in qualified leads, leading to multiple new franchise locations opening ahead of schedule. Their growth trajectory completely changed, proving the power of a strategic lead-generation approach.1851: What do you wish prospective franchise clients knew about you?Wyly:&nbsp;We wish more franchisors knew that lead generation isn’t just about quantity, it’s about quality.
