Meet Strategic Franchising's Winner's Circle; The First Program of Its Kind

Strategic Franchising Systems is the premier franchise development company that offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a business in some of the hottest industries. The franchisor currently offers five franchise opportunities: nationally recognized painting franchise Fresh Coat, senior home relocation concept Caring Transitions, business and sales coaching concept The Growth Coach, fast-growing natural pet food delivery brand Pet Wants, and the only national provider of house care for seniors and busy families TruBlue. 

Today, backed by over 30 years of providing franchise owners with proven pathways to success, Strategic Franchising Systems continues to attract business-savvy entrepreneurs across the country due to a wide array of benefits. One unique benefit is the opportunity to participate in a company-wide program called The Winner’s Circle. The exclusive program rewards hard-working franchise owners that hit predefined milestones by refunding their entire franchise fee over time.

“The program aims to attract people who are focused and determined to hit their business goals — passionate and committed franchisees focused on driving revenue,” said Chris Seman, President of Strategic Franchising Systems. “The costs that go into launching a franchise can be returned for owners on the right track. We want to reward people working the plan and staying committed to their goals.”

The individual milestones will be different for each Strategic Franchising Systems brand, but all are based on tiers of revenue. Once a new franchisee joins the system, their specific goals will be locked in for the next five years.

“Incentive programs can often be unavailable for small business owners in the corporate world,” says Ray Fabik, President of Caring Transitions. “We will often have owners call us after a few years and tell us how excited they are to get close to their payout. We have two people at Caring Transitions who have gone through the program's whole cycle and hit every tier.”

Seman notes that the Winner’s Circle goals are designed to be challenging but attainable. “It tends to be the average to above-average performing franchisees who hit their milestones,” said Seman. “But we ensure that every franchise owner has a legitimate shot at hitting the first tier.” 

Since launching the Winner’s Circle five years ago, Fabik says the program has helped keep the overall Strategic Franchising portfolio healthy and growing. 

“Since owners continue to strive for their goals, it ensures they don’t get complacent over the years,” he said. “And we continue to raise the tiers each year, which has allowed us to expand the system overall. We want to be a high-revenue generating system with owners who are consistently achieving their objectives, and The Winner’s Circle helps us do so.”

Today, Seman says the Strategic Franchising team is excited to continue growing the Winner’s Circle Program and giving owners a unique chance to earn back their franchise fee in full. 

“This program was originally designed to help us attract new owners, but the real benefit has proven to be the impact it has made on existing franchisees,” said Seman. “Best of all, the revenue their business generates along the way far exceeds the money they get back through the program. The Winner’s Circle Program is a great way for franchisees to set their goals, attain targets and accelerate growth.”
