A franchise business coach who has owned the franchise.
In 2011 I bought a B2B franchise in North Sydney that had just lost its number one client, half of its turnover. By 2016 it was named Franchise of the Year. If you're a franchisee carrying the system, the royalties and your own P&L, I know the seat you're in.
Running a franchise is its own kind of pressure.
- ✓The franchisor's system tells you how, but not what to prioritise in your territory.
- ✓Royalties and fees stay fixed while your margin moves.
- ✓One or two big clients carry too much of your revenue.
- ✓You're the best salesperson, operator and problem-solver, all at once.
- ✓Renewal, resale or exit is coming and you're not sure the business is ready.
From the red to Franchise of the Year.
When I took over the franchise it was losing money. I restructured the business, rebuilt the product range and service offering, and put sales at the centre of everything. Within four years it was named Franchise of the Year, and over 15 years it won multiple Highest Sales Growth awards across the national group.
I work independently of any franchisor. Coaching sits inside your franchise agreement and your brand's system. It helps you run your part of it better, not argue with it.
The Framework, applied to your business.
Your territory plan
Where the growth is in your patch, and which opportunities to say no to.
Sales at the centre
A sales rhythm, offer mix and client spread that reduce dependence on any one account.
A team that runs the shop
Roles, rosters and routines so the business holds when you step out.
Renewal, resale or exit
Clear options for the end of your term, decided early rather than forced late.

Frequently asked questions.
Do you work with franchisees from any brand?
Yes. I coach franchisees across systems and industries. I am independent of any franchisor, and our conversations stay confidential.
Will coaching conflict with my franchisor’s advice?
No. We work inside your franchise agreement and your brand standards. The focus is on the decisions that are yours to make: sales, team, local priorities, cash and your own time.
Can you help me prepare a franchise for resale or renewal?
Yes. Making the business less dependent on you, spreading revenue across more clients and documenting how it runs all lift its value to a buyer or your franchisor.
Do you only work with franchisees in Sydney?
No. I am based in Sydney and owned a franchise in North Sydney, but sessions run online, so I work with franchisees across Australia.
