Are you an outstanding franchise executive? Do you have a brilliant BDM on your team? Is your CEO gold class?
If you admire the work of a committed colleague it’s time to let us know. Give these franchise superstars a shout out and nominate them for the Top 30 Franchise Executives report for 2020.
The report celebrates the outstanding performance of individuals going above and beyond for their franchisees, and nominations are open now.
Each nominee will be judged on six categories: best practice, franchise citizenship, leadership, innovation, franchise promotion and professional development.
We’ll be looking for the sparklers who demonstrate their brilliance across all areas; we’re on the search for exceptional talent and commitment.
There’s one proviso – nominees must be, or working for, a franchisor. Franchisees and service providers are not eligible.
