1851: Why is franchisee satisfaction so important for your brand?

Kathleen McKay, Franchise Development Director of <a href="http://franchises.homeinstead.com/Pages/default.aspx?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fbr-50-franchisee-satisfaction-awards-home-instead-senior-care-2706494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Home Instead Senior Care</a>: The satisfaction and success of our franchisees is the greatest result we could ask for; ultimately one begets the other!&nbsp; Satisfied franchise owners are a leading indicator that we are doing a lot of things right.

1851: How does your brand leverage the information and data that comes from Franchise Business Review&#39;s franchisee surveys?

McKay: We proudly display our FBR results on our Franchise Development and Corporate websites.&nbsp; More importantly, we discuss it with interested franchise prospects.&nbsp; There are a lot of choices in&nbsp;senior&nbsp;care.&nbsp; Consistently having the most satisfied franchisees is a huge differentiator.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s one thing for us to say why our franchise opportunity is exceptional but another for our current franchisees to say it. The leadership team at our&nbsp;home&nbsp;office also uses the information to improve our processes and procedures to better support our franchise owners.&nbsp;

1851: What steps does your brand take to receive such high marks when it comes to franchisee satisfaction?

McKay: We simply do our best to pursue only the most qualified franchisee candidates through a transparent and thorough vetting process.&nbsp; We then arm our franchisees with continuously evolving ongoing training and support and work hard to cultivate a relationship steeped in trust, mutual respect and a healthy growth mentality.&nbsp; We also take great&nbsp;care&nbsp;in promoting and infusing a culture of&nbsp;caring&nbsp;by adhering to our mission statement: To enhance the lives of aging adults and their families.

1851: What is your top tip or piece advice for brands looking to improve their level of franchisee support?

McKay: It&rsquo;s really hard to give just one piece of advice!&nbsp; Listen to your network, if you don&rsquo;t already have one, start a franchise advisory council to facilitate two-way communication.&nbsp; And continuously invest and work to professionally develop your&nbsp;Home&nbsp;Office staff and franchise owners.&nbsp; Their ongoing learning and development will profoundly benefit your entire network.

1851: How is your brand going to build on this recognition and success going forward in 2018?

McKay: We are going to continue to do the right things for the right reasons; with the right franchise owners!&nbsp; By intentionally acting to change the face of aging and perpetuating our thought leadership through quality&nbsp;care, research and advocacy, we are paving a path for continued satisfaction and success.
