Verified Franchise Leads Program is Changing the Franchise Industry

Pottstown, PA, September 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Successful Franchise Companies have long recognized that an effective franchise salesperson is an expensive resource that can make the huge difference in the success of their company.

Franchise Sales people might call 50-100 Internet leads per day with only a small percentage of those leads actually answering the phone or responding to a message.

Today's Franchise Buyer Leads are more likely to come from the Internet than any other source. Most of these Internet leads are tire kickers. Unfortunately most of these potential buyers have no intention of actually purchasing a franchise and this translates into a huge time investment for every franchise sales person.

After calling through 1000's of such Internet leads, John Henning, CEO/Founder, realized that there must be a better way to sift out the tire kickers.

He created a Franchise Lead Qualification Service called VerifiedFranchiseLeads.com that prescreens potential franchise buyers and sets appointments for those that meet the franchisor's qualifications.

Given the number of unreturned calls and unqualified prospects that the top-level sales professional must deal with, the Verified Franchise Leads Program significantly improves a sales professional’s efficiency by allowing them to focus on the serious & qualified franchise buyer leads.

Moreover, John's program also eliminates the need for a prompt response. This approach will allow franchisors to contact prospects in a more timely fashion, improving close rates in the process.

When a qualified candidate is reached on the phone an appointment is set to speak with a franchise specialist from that franchisor. This eliminates the franchise sales person from being required to make 100's if not 1000's of phone calls each month to unqualified candidates.

John's approach is also an affordable alternative. At just a few dollars per lead, his service costs less than having several full time franchise sales people.

Now companies can focus on lead generation and closing more franchise deals.

In a recent interview with franchisors, John said "Our service is changing the way franchise leads are contacted. With over 20 customers now using our service, we are changing the way franchise companies sift through the 100's of inquiries they receive each month."

Increased contact ratio, data reporting by lead source and an online calendar system are just a few of the features that are including in the Verified Franchise Leads Program.
