Selecting Top Franchisees with Thomas Talent Management Tools

If you are struggling to select the best franchisee, Thomas International USA can help. Thomas International is a global company and leader and specialist in talent management tools and has a proven track record of over 50 years in the assessment business. Located in over 50 countries we offer our franchisee assessment in over 50 languages.

With the Thomas PPA personality profile (personality test) you can accurately and objectively assess a franchisee in minutes and have the results at your fingertips.

We have found through processing millions of profiles that different cultures represent different franchisee profiles. We do not provide a cookie-cutter process rather we look at YOUR culture, what makes for a successful franchisee for YOU... as it will be different from one franchise operation to the next.

Don't try to select your franchisees from a box. The type of franchisee you are looking for will depend on many factors. For example, you must take into account the size of the franchise/store - does a successful franchisee need a wide scope of operation or concentration in one area? Size of the staff - is the franchisee on the front line or is the franchisee managing staff? Nature of operation - Do you require a franchisee that will follow processes and procedures? Or do you want a true entrepreneur that operates independently of processes?

An individual's natural behavioral styles such as drive for results, activity level, ability to multitask or follow-through, ability to influence and persuade, customer service skills, management skills, etc., predict the success of a franchisee. By measuring a person's natural behavioral style we can predict how they will behave in your culture, which relates to job satisfaction and success.

Franchises already look at finances, business experience and perform background checks, but assessing management style and people skills are often overlooked. Quite often, it is a person's behaviors that cause their departure... perhaps they do not have the drive to achieve, perhaps they don't have the compliance to follow your system, or perhaps they put on a poor public display... both scenarios are costly to you!

The Thomas DISC Profile System is designed to assess the ideal franchisee profile based on the success of franchisees in your culture. This allows you to measure the behaviors of your franchisees. The failure of a franchisee can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars! That does not include the lost opportunity, stress and frustration, negative exposure, and legal issues. Not only are you making the right selection for yourself, but also for the franchise candidate who will be investing into your franchise. It is worth it to pay a minimal amount upfront to find the right franchisee.

You will select franchise candidates that resemble your most successful franchisees and you will be objective and accurate in your assessment. Not only will you recruit successful franchisees, you will provide a training analysis which describes the training needs specific to the individual in order to enhance their performance as a franchisee.

The Thomas DISC Profile System will provide you with five easy-to-read and easy-to-apply reports that provide valuable insights into the work behavioral style, which relates to job satisfaction and success of the franchise candidate. Reports include information about the candidate's management style, customer service ability, candidates personality profile (personality test) compared to what the job requires, training needs analysis and a feedback report for the candidate.
