<h4>The Next McDonalds (Big Idea)</h4>With nearly 25 years of experience in franchising, McFall reflects on what it takes to thrive – and how to define success on your own terms.As someone that has worked in nearly every position at Biggby Coffee, including as a barista at the original cafe, Michael J. McFall knows a thing or two about building a successful franchise from the ground up.After partnering with the company’s co-founder, Bob Fish, in 1997, McFall helped grow Biggby Coffee from a humble coffeehouse in East Lansing, Michigan to a franchise empire with over 300 stores across the U.S. and revenue topping $140 million in 2019 – an admirable feat based largely on smart business practices and a model focused on sustainable success.“I think most startup franchisors are like, ‘Oh, I got a check for $30,000 – I’m gonna buy a boat.’ It’s an early mindset versus how we play for the long-term,” says McFall, now the company’s co-CEO, explaining that the brand’s emphasis on sustainability over immediate rewards contributed to the franchise’s 25-year success.Today, with 160 contracted locations expected to open within the next two years, the team at Biggby Coffee still has their eyes on sustainability as the brand continues to scale. With a reinvigorated goal of elevating the workplace, McFall is also on a mission – this time, to create a better business with a heightened sense of purpose.<a href="https://dddilaw.keap-link007.com/v2/click/1f4d922ea7f7ef03237a9f149786b853/eJyNkM1OwzAQhN_F55qU_qLcqqqqopQeEJyRa2-aVe215WwaoirvjgOoJ5C47nwzo9mbYCBFXBiRC2MMWtWJiYigMSAQbz2x0l_y8mkxXU2ERbrso2-DyG-_m-_EeJ9PF6vk4j5Agl5fNtuyOO7fD8WxTGhQMZX8L2m9fpzP7km7501xEMPwZzQ45N01pTci59jCOMpgGsZv0Sa-Zg5NnmVVVPRhVUu6ftDeZSc8n0-91L6qAOSo6hobH6XDC0inK2Wt9CS7WrFElg4UNZK97JCy1KtCADI_fyuh_24fPgEfknnl?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-what-it-means-to-win-2718488" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">READ MORE</a><h4 style="margin-left:0px;">News You Can (Actually) Use</h4><ul><li><a href="https://dddilaw.keap-link007.com/v2/click/5aafa88243d0eca295f48ce4f2f49036/eJyNkMFuwjAQRP_FXGOCSWii3BBCKArlULXnythLbRFsy14XRSj_Xqet6KWVep19O7OzN4JguMFWkoZIKXXPryQjHoR2GgxurEEuPserulw8ZKTX5rzzNjrS3H5fvhOTXizKcpkRHBwk6Plpvenaw-513x66hDruU8j_nKqKFT9O28d1uyfj-Kc1XDRu35N7IA36CFMpqVMxfPF94hWiC02es3rFTp4boXSAubCXXNkrfVM2ID1rFApMoIIberSTNNjo6Z2nxxi0gRDosmJ1yYrZCTjGlJQu4M6Bkd8f7GD4umP8AI28fFs=?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franx-what-it-means-to-win-2718488" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Do you believe in ghosts?

How do you come up with that number? What is the rhythm and rhyme behind it? Do you know?Many franchisors spin a magical wheel and land on a magical number of units they want to grow in a year. Yet, rarely, do they look into the science of what creates a lead, an application, a deal – as well as the timeline and the enterprise value of what that deal could impact?What this does is it stresses out the organization and pressures the sale – meaning, adding the potential of the wrong fit (later closers or early exits) because sales teams have to hit numbers.What if you switched your approach? What if you looked at data?Armed with data, now, you can goal set in a different way – and perhaps, in an even more productive way. Try writing down these answers:What is a deal worth to your business:<ul><li>Franchise Fee:</li><li>Annual Royalty:</li><li>Annual Royalty X 5:</li></ul>Can this operator you are about to sign, scale?<ul><li>Size of deal?</li><li>Timeline to open?</li><li>Does he/she have the financial bandwidth to open all, or, will they have to rely on success?</li></ul>Number of current franchisees expanding?<ul><li>Where are they?</li><li>Any additional market opportunity?</li></ul>Your leads:<ul><li>Ask them how long it took them to decide to apply?</li><li>Ask them how long it took them to sign?</li><li>Ask them what hurdles they had to overcome to get to yes?</li></ul>Now, what is your goal? Why? What will this do for your brand? Are you looking to exit in x years? Try a new approach – even if it's for 2023. It might help you set realistic, achievable, and measurable goals.
