Where’s the Wiki you made of your franchisor’s documents?

THIS is only the question a potential franchisee needs to ask existing franchisees.

An interesting article from the New York Times called A Wiki Takes Aim at Obama .

Many companies and organizations, including the United States Army, have seized on the Wikipedia model to encourage their members to build up information collaboratively. This seems to be an early effort to use the idea behind WikiLeaks, a repository of secretive or difficult-to-obtain documents, for a specific political end.

As I understood and have advised since last summer, every franchise system should have their own franchisee-directed wiki of franchisor’s documents.

Why can’t franchisees be the new boss?

At least they’d protect their equity.

If franchisees can’t imagine themselves lead by a peer, well, that’ s just too bad.

Meet the new boss

Same as the old boss

Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss

It’s okay to get fooled.

Once.

It wasn’t just your franchisor. It’s all of them.

Zig Ziglar said that each person knows 250 people.

You didn’t know then. You know now.

Don’t hide your light.
