Franchisors, do you need a mentor?

It is my understanding, last year the International Franchise Association (IFA) implemented a program whereby volunteer Certified Franchise Executives would mentor franchisors. It is my further understanding, very qualified franchise professionals offered to volunteer as mentors, only to be turned down by the IFA, because they were not members of the IFA, and the program was not available to non-member companies as well. As there are most likely many franchise companies that could use a mentor under the IFA program, but can’t tap into it because they’re not members of the IFA, I will volunteer to become their mentor. With over twenty years’ experience, exclusively in the franchise industry, I definitely know I’m qualified and can provide much needed guidance. So, if you, or anyone reading this post, knows of any franchise company, startup, emerging or mature, that may need mentoring, please have them contact me at segreto.paul@gmail.com.
