When Blodgett Ventures partners were introduced to a franchise graphics business whose growth had stalled because only three of eighteen franchises were profitable, the first thing they did was to create a training program and marketing programs that turned around each struggling franchisee. 

Once the franchisees were successful and positive-minded, Blodgett Ventures kicked the franchise development process into high gear and more than doubled the number of franchises in the next year. Part of the success formula was for one partner to work with each franchisee both at headquarters and on site in their market to analyze what was working and what was not.  Meanwhile, another Blodgett Ventures partner worked with the franchisor team to assure that all systems and training were in place to convey the original success formula to new franchisees. “Franchising can be tough,” says Erwin Keup, author of best-selling The Franchise Bible. “A new franchisor knows how to run a successful business, but he or she may not have any experience teaching others how to be successful. Franchise companies must do that to succeed.
