Tips for business to business franchise owners:
Business customers don’t usually walk in off the street, so make sure you know from your franchisor exactly how you will be expected to find business.
That might mean knocking on doors, getting appointments or getting yourself known in the local business community by attending business networking meetings.
It might even mean making those dreaded cold calls!
You may well be comfortable with any or all of these already, but don’t worry if you’re not. A good franchisor should offer training and support with all of these to get you started. Some will even do some of it for you.
You can start networking before you’ve selected your franchise. Check out your local chamber of commerce, any trade bodies that might be appropriate and of course the established networking organisations such as 4Networking, and BNI. There are several women-only networking organisations too, some are regional or even national, such as The Athena Network,12:30 TWC and TWBC.
Remember that business networking happens online too. Most offline networking groups give you your own online page. Use it to connect with other members and to increase your online visibility. There are also purely online networks - including facebook, myspace etc.
The most popular business networking options online are LinkedIn and ecademy. All are great for raising your profile.
