Semi-Annual Regional Meetings To ensure that all franchisees are supported at the local and/or grass roots level, we meet regionally with our franchisees on a semi-annual basis to address any local concerns, problems or challenges that are “unique” to their specific trading areas. These meetings provide a forum for the exchange of fresh, timely information, ideas and concepts that lead to a more successful franchise. Some of the topics covered include: training, hiring, sales, marketing, new products, information systems, operations, procedures, installation, database marketing, administrative procedures, efficiency, running your business for profit, local challenges, “how to…” sessions, advertising techniques, and a variety of other issues of local interest.
