“Participation in our franchisee performance groups improved and our franchisees became more engaged. We went from 37% participation to over 80%, and the participating franchisees outperform those not involved by a mile.”

"I was fortunate to be able to read a copy of Jan's book in late 2022. It's an insightful, clearly structured and valuable tool for any aspiring or existing franchisor to put to use.
The more I read, the more I knew I wanted the opportunity to speak with Jan, do an interview and share that more broadly within my network. In our discussion, Jan clearly articulated key learnings from her research and some targeted insights that are laid out in her book for franchisors.
For those folks who were listening and gave me feedback later, the concepts and actions required (actually that are maybe demanded!) by the Silent Killers of Franchising Jan has identified are clear!
Great reading and great to listen to Jan's wisdom."
