Happy New Year, FBA! As we jump into 2024, you might find yourself at a thrilling crossroads of reflection and anticipation. With nostalgia for this past year’s success still in the air, along with the excitement for what’s to come, let’s have a conversation about resolutions – an honest one.
Assuming this is a universal experience: on the last day of the year, as the clock ticked closer to midnight, we all anticipated the moment when we could reset and recalibrate. And right then is when most people set their resolutions… that (if we’re being honest) have the tendency to fall off the agenda. But even so, we should honor those goals and make plans to see them through.
TIP: Set them, speak them out loud, and find the community that holds you accountable to them!
What are your business resolutions? Do any of these ring a bell?
- Do you wish to deepen your connection with our community, engaging in weekly conversations with fellow Brokers and brands?
- Are you looking to ramp up your business, enhance your effectiveness, or gain deeper insights into what’s working (or not) in franchising?
- Would you benefit from learning invaluable insights from seasoned Brokers?
- Are you eager to understand our inventory more thoroughly to sell more tactfully?
No matter your 2024 goals, FBA is dedicated to helping you find answers and achieve them through our weekly mentoring and support – that’s the resolution we intend to follow through with.
So, how do we plan to achieve this?
Mentoring That Matters to our Members
Perhaps you feel like you’ve seen it all when it comes to these mentoring sessions. But let us assure you, this year we’re introducing you to something different.
FBA is rebranding and launching a new season of mentoring – think of it like the TV show you know and love coming out with a fresh season, promising a few new characters and exciting plot twists! It’s a reimagined approach designed to offer something for every member, regardless of your experience level or niche within the industry.
Here’s why our sessions are a game-changer:
- Diverse Perspectives: Each session brings together a blend of seasoned brokers and innovative brands, offering a variety of viewpoints and strategies that you won’t find anywhere else.
- Tailored Content: This year’s sessions are meticulously crafted to cater to a wide range of interests and queries – there’s something for everyone.
- Community Building: These sessions are a platform to forge stronger connections within the FBA community. Networking with peers, sharing experiences, and learning from one another’s successes and challenges are integral parts of these meetings.
- Proven Success: The evidence is clear – brokers who regularly attend our mentoring tend to perform better, gain more recognition, and achieve greater success. This is the result of consistent learning, sharing, and applying the insights gained.
- Real-World Relevance: Every session is grounded in practicality, focusing on real-world scenarios and solutions within franchising.. This ensures that the knowledge and strategies you gain are immediately applicable in your daily business operations.
We understand that continuous growth and learning are the keys to staying ahead in this business. That’s why our mentoring sessions are a powerhouse of knowledge, insights, and connections – rather than just routine meetings.
What’s New Monday Through Friday?
We invite you to come and experience the changes for yourself. Discover how they can provide you with invaluable insights and aid in your professional growth as a Broker or brand.
Now, let’s explore the framework for our scheduled sessions each week. From advanced strategies to foundational knowledge, our goal is to boost your success in franchising.
“Advanced Broker Mentoring”
Time: Mondays at 12 PM EST
Host: Join to find out!
When you hear “Advanced” mentoring, we don’t want you to think you must be a seasoned Broker to join. These topics are advanced in the sense that we deep dive into specific challenges and tools that every seasoned Broker will face at some point in their career. We encourage you to attend and learn from the top performers in franchising – they are here to help, too! Did someone say… interconnected community?
Monday sessions are a continuation of what was previously known as SMF, retaining their focus on Advanced Broker mentoring but with a twist of novelty. Expect a variety of invigorating topics such as:
- Speedround Shark Tank: An exhilarating platform for quick-witted business pitches and instant feedback.
- How This Deal Was Won: Real-life success stories that dissect winning strategies.
- Call Reviews – Do’s and Don’ts per Stage: Practical advice on enhancing your communication skills at each stage of the deal.
- Content That Helps You Make Money: Focused discussions on profitable content strategies.
- System Tools and Resources: Exploration of the latest tools and resources to streamline your operations.
- Special Guests and brands with Top Financials: Insights from industry leaders and top-performing brands.
“How to Sell These Brands, Season 2”
Time: Wednesdays at 1 PM EST
Host: Join to find out!
The Wednesday sessions, formerly known as Strategy & Pitch/Intermediate Broker mentoring, are now revamped into “How to Sell These Brands, Season 2”. We know how valuable these conversations are to our Brokers, and how the feedback from these sessions can assist our brands as well. This series will provide:
- In-depth analysis and tactics for selling specific brands.
- Interactive discussions on brand positioning and market appeal.
- Techniques to enhance your sales pitch and strategy.
- Real world experiences selling these brands – with collaboration from Members.
- A look into our curated content that can aid you in your sales process before and after the sessions.
“Broker FUNdamentals”
Time: Fridays at 2 PM EST
Host: Amanda Vargas
Previously tailored to beginner Brokers, the Friday sessions are transformed into “Broker FUNdamentals,” so expect some FUN! The same preface applies to our Advanced mentoring – this session is not just for newly onboarded Brokers. Everyone needs a refresher course from time to time, so start this New Year with a strong sense of what’s working well in franchising.
These sessions are tailored for those new to franchising and/or looking to reinforce their foundational knowledge. Have conversation regarding:
- Essential skills and knowledge for Brokers of all experience levels.
- Stages of the sales process.
