🎙️ Episode 46 - In this solo episode of The Franchise Champion Show, Alan answers the question almost every prospective client asks him first: how do you get paid? He walks through the full mechanics of franchise coach compensation, including the part most coaches in the industry won't tell you, why referral fees aren't equal across brands, and what that incentive can do to a broker's recommendations.
You'll also get the four signals that separate a good coach from one who's chasing a payout, and the real difference between a coach who's educating you and one who's selling you. Whether you're just starting to explore franchise ownership or you're already talking to a consultant, this episode gives you the framework to know exactly who you're working with, and why.
