Franchisee Recruitment Consultant
-
Mar 2013 - Oct 2018
I was operating exclusively in Ketju.fi – franchisee recruitment services. Finding new franchisees/Master franchisees in Finland was our No. 1 priority. Our clients were domestic and international franchisors. Our main services for franchisors were lead generation, headhunting and PR. We interviewed potential franchisee candidates and coordinated marketing actions. We had a close relationship with various stakeholders and spread the word about the franchise business model. We organized Info -events for people thinking about becoming an entrepreneur. We helped start-up companies as well as operating companies with a long history. Our consulting services included development of franchisee recruitment process, materials, and methods. In this position I´ve learned specially to present business ideas, acquire new clients and prospects, evaluate candidates and establish a relationship with new stakeholders. www.ketju.fi is a franchisee recruitment portal, which is No1 meeting place for franchisors and potential franchisees/Master franchisees in Finland.
