One Month Free: Full Access For Franchise Brands And Independent Advisors

From today, franchise brands and independent advisors joining FranchiseNegosyo get their first month with full access at no cost. This is not a limited preview or a demonstration account with the interesting parts switched off, but the complete set of features, so that you can judge the platform on what it actually does for you rather than on somebody's description of what it might.

The reasoning behind it is fairly simple, which is that a platform like this one is genuinely hard to evaluate from the outside. You cannot really tell what sort of enquiries will reach you, or how a properly built profile performs against a thin one, until you have run a real profile for a few weeks and watched what happens, and a month is long enough to find that out properly.

What the month includes

Everything is included, which means the full brand page or advisor profile, the complete set of tools for handling the people who get in touch with you, the visibility features, and the analytics that show you what is actually working. Nothing is held back for later and nothing quietly switches itself off partway through.

You do not need to hand over any payment details to begin, and nothing renews by itself unless you choose it, so when the month is up you decide what you want to do next with a month of your own real results in front of you rather than a promise about them.

For franchise brands

When you claim your brand, the page becomes yours to run, which means you can publish accurate investment figures, franchise fees and terms, and that has the useful side effect of qualifying people before they ever contact you. You can add photographs of outlets that genuinely exist, and the questions you find yourself answering over and over can be answered once, in public, where they save everybody a great deal of time.

Because the people who reach you have already seen your numbers and kept reading regardless, the enquiries tend to be the sort worth having. You can also see how your page is performing and where the interest is coming from, which is usually the clearest signal of which regions deserve your attention next.

There is a fuller explanation of what a brand page does, and of how claiming works, on our page for franchise brands.

For independent advisors

Your profile is your shopfront, so it should say plainly who you are, which categories you know, what experience sits behind the advice you give, and what you have actually done. Visitors choose their own advisor here, which means a profile that clearly explains what you are good at is doing real work on your behalf while you get on with something else.

You also get the tools for handling the people who reach you and the analytics to see how the profile is performing, and you keep control over what you take on, so a month is enough time to see what sort of conversations come your way and whether they are the ones you would like more of.

Vetting still applies and the free month does not skip it, because every advisor is reviewed before their profile goes live. That review exists to protect the visitor, and it protects you as well, since being listed here only means something if the check behind it is real.

There is more on how the advisor side works on our page for advisors.

Getting started

If you are a brand, find yourself on the site and claim your page, or get in touch with us if you are not listed yet. You will be asked to show that you are authorised to speak for the brand, which is the step that stops anybody else from claiming it out from under you.

If you are an advisor, create a profile, tell us about your experience, and submit it for review, and once it has been approved you are live and visible to the people looking for exactly what you do.

Either way the month begins when you do, and we would much rather you spent it than took our word for any of this.
