If You're Running a Franchise or B2B Services Business - Here's What You're Missing

If you manage a franchise or a B2B services network, here’s an uncomfortable truth:

The biggest revenue losses in your business aren’t visible in your financials. They’re buried in your CRM.

Every day, your sales and telemarketing teams are flying blind:

  • Which leads are ready to convert?
  • Which clients are about to churn?
  • Which accounts are primed for upsell?

Most teams don’t know.

They’re stuck navigating spreadsheets, disconnected CRMs, and manually building quotes that often go nowhere.

This isn’t just frustrating - it’s operational drag that kills growth.

The Operational Reality in ANZ Sales Teams

Let’s get specific.

  • 45% of ANZ mid-market businesses report that sales teams spend over 6 hours a week just identifying who to call.
    • Salesforce SMB Trends Report ANZ, 2023

  • A 2024 Franchise Business NZ study found:
    • Only 27% of franchisors have a standardised quoting process
    • 62% of franchisees say upsells are “rarely identified” during service
    • 71% of reps find their CRM either too complex or not regularly updated

  • In ANZ property services, the average quote turnaround is 4.3 days - and 30–40% of deals go cold before anyone follows up.
    • Local Services AI Study, 2023

This isn’t a people problem.

It’s a systems failure.

The Three Patterns We See Repeatedly

1. Leads Go Cold Before Action

  • CRMs are full of accounts
  • Reps guess who to follow up with
  • Urgency is missed because there’s no live scoring or daily prioritisation

2. Quoting Is Slow and Inconsistent

  • Each rep builds their own template
  • Branding is inconsistent, data fields are wrong or missing
  • Delays cost deals - especially when competitors reply faster

3. Upsells Slip Through the Cracks

  • No system to identify add-ons or renewals
  • Loyal customers miss out on value
  • High-LTV clients aren’t managed proactively

These issues are amplified in franchise and multi-site service networks, where:

  • Sales data lives in silos across franchisees
  • Head office lacks quote visibility
  • Managers waste time just tracking who did what

The Root Cause Isn’t Your Tools - It’s the Gaps Between Them

Adding more platforms hasn’t solved the problem.
In fact, it’s made it worse.

  • Every tool captures activity - none guide action

  • Every CRM tracks data - none deliver decisions

Sales teams need workflows that are connected, intelligent, and automated.

Imagine This Instead

  • You walk in every morning and see who to call, why, and with what pitch

  • Quotes are ready in minutes, prefilled with accurate data

  • Upsell triggers are flagged automatically based on customer behaviour

  • Your team knows what to do by 7am every day

That’s not a future state. That’s what we’ve built - right now - for Jani King.

If you're a training manager or programme owner working with NZQA-aligned unit standards, here's a question worth asking: Can you quickly identify which of your current standards are about to expire? For many teams, the answer is “not really.” And that’s a problem.
