FastSigns CEO, Catherine Monson, stopped by WhatTheyThink to discuss the brand&rsquo;s global expansion with Senior Anayst Richard Romano. According to the <a href="http://whattheythink.com/video/82598-fastsigns-ceo-catherine-monson-talks-about-international-expansion/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=whattheythink-fastsigns-ceo-catherine-monson-talks-about-international-expansion-6355" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WhatTheyThink video interview</a>, FastSigns has signed a master license agreement for five countries in Central America. In addition, the brand also has activity currently in Brazil, Mexico, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, along with leads in Europe.

&ldquo;Our international growth is firing on all cylinders,&rdquo; says Monson.

The company is having a record year by selling more than 50 franchises this year. In fact, the brand has had a strong year when looking at every metric. Same-center sales are very strong and there are a record number of outside sales professionals working for FastSigns&rsquo; franchisees.

Helping with growth is their co-brand program targeting those who are already in a related graphic arts business that want to expand into the signage and visual graphics industry. This is where a lot of their current franchisees come from and start to see success with their business once they expand into signage and visual graphics.

What is the secret to being a franchisee? &ldquo;Follow the FastSigns system. We have a really proven business operating system and we&rsquo;ve got great intellectual property, and if you implement the FastSigns operations system, you&rsquo;re going to be very successful,&rdquo; says Monson.
