Franchises · Recruitment deck

Franchisee recruitment decks that attract the right owners.

The right franchisee matters as much as the right site. The deck should be clear about investment and support, and honest about who succeeds.

How it differs

How a recruitment deck differs from a general pitch deck

A general startup deck can project revenue freely. A franchisee recruitment deck cannot: earnings statements are limited to what the franchise disclosure document allows, and the franchise attorney decides. The reader is also different. A candidate is weighing personal savings and years of work, so the deck answers what it costs, what support exists and who succeeds. It ends with a process, not an ask for money, and every number must match a document the candidate will read later.

The questions behind every slide

What readers of a recruitment deck ask

Each answer names the slide or document where it belongs. If a question has no home in your deck, the reader will ask it in writing, or stop reading.

  1. 1

    How many units opened, closed or changed hands in recent years?

    A system slide should match Item 20 of your current disclosure document and point the candidate to it.

  2. 2

    Can I speak with current and former franchisees?

    The steps to opening slide should include validation calls, using the contact lists in Item 20.

  3. 3

    What will I earn?

    Only what Item 19 of your franchise disclosure document states, worded as your franchise attorney approves; if Item 19 makes no claim, the deck makes none.

  4. 4

    Is my territory protected, including from online sales and other franchisees?

    The territories slide should summarize Item 12 in plain words, as your attorney approves.

  5. 5

    What happens in the months after I sign?

    The steps to opening slide should show training, site search, build-out and launch with typical durations as common practice in your system.

  6. 6

    Can I open more than one unit?

    A short multi-unit slide should explain whether development rights are offered and how they work.

  7. 7

    Is the franchisor financially able to support me?

    The deck should point to the financial statements in Item 21 of the disclosure document.

  8. 8

    How much of my own time does this need, and can a manager run it?

    The ideal franchisee slide should say whether the system expects owner-operators or allows managed units.

Headline rewrites

Slide titles that say something.

A reader skims headlines first. A label tells them the topic; a sentence tells them the point. Bracketed figures are placeholders for your own numbers.
