Regional Fanchisors are the driving force of the
Jim's system. They are responsible for recruiting, training and
supporting Franchisees, which includes finding them work, and
providing practical and moral support. They are 'hands on' - usually
operating a franchise themselves while building their team of
Franchisees.
The majority of Franchisors are successful Jim’s
Franchisees, though not always from the same division for which
they are granted the Regional Franchise. Some have been recruited
from outside, usually with industry experience relevant to the
division.
Franchisors must provide leadership and a strong example of good
work ethics, while recognising that Franchisees are customers
and not subordinates. It is a demanding role that combines practical
ability with a high level of personal and business management
skills. The primary focus of a successful Franchisor must be on
helping their Franchisees to succeed.
Most Regional Franchisors have done well, finding
a business that combines financial rewards with lifestyle and
personal satisfaction.
REGIONAL AREAS - CORPORATE FRANCHISES
In some cases, a traditional Franchisor model may
not workin country or semi-rural areas. The corporate Franchise
model is sometimes a suitable alternative. Available only for
people currently in the business and wanting to grow, it is similar
to a licensing arrangement, whereby the franchisee re-brands as
a Jims Franchisee, purchases a Franchise and pays monthly fees.
The corporate Franchise does their own marketing and advertising
within the region.
