I guess you're saying that the franchisee assesses a company's reputation with it's customers before accepting on to TBO? Is that an old-fashioned, 'word-of-mouth' process?

Over the last few years others have tried to copy our business model - and I've personally seen some that have ended in tears. That gives me no pleasure, because honest people have lost money by investing in the wrong franchise. From a franchisee perspective, I can vouch for thebestof head office team - I believe they offer one of the best levels of support of any franchise in the UK. They continue to invest heavily to ensure our technology is ahead of the curve - and they keep us motivated! This is a tough business, but we are succeeding by constantly innovating our service. Online marketing is now just one of the many ways we help promote and connect reputable local businesses - these include door drop marketing, handy guides, social business networking events, exhibitions and radio advertising. There's one point in your article that I need to clariy. We actually don't take on any company that wants to join, we genuinely seek to only champion a select number of businesses based on recommenations and positive customer feedback. Typically these are independent owner-managed firms that really go the extra mile and have loyal customers.
