I believe that successful franchising is full contact. That means out front, big and bold, no-holds-barred business strategy and execution. It also means living your values and facing difficult issues head on in an open, honest, and inclusive way.
I chose the yin-yang symbol for the company's logo because it represents the idea that two halves come together to create a balanced, more complete whole. Like the yin-yang, franchising is interdependent, which means we need each other to succeed. Franchisors need successful franchisees and franchisees need a successful franchisor to meet their mutual business goals and objectives. One doesn’t work without the other.
I founded Full Contact Franchising because of my passion for franchising and desire to help people and companies succeed. Franchising at its essence is about balance. It’s about striking the right balance between the franchisee and franchisor relationship and doing the right thing even when it can be difficult.”
