Franchise development companies · Social media
Show brand owners your judgement and show investors the real work of running a unit.
Social media for a franchise development firm is a set of posts aimed at two audiences: founders deciding whether to franchise and investors deciding what to buy. GullySales plans a posting rhythm that suits the firm's own capacity and keeps the two audiences apart.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For franchise development companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“LinkedIn reaches founders, Instagram and Facebook reach investors”
A founder weighing a mandate is on LinkedIn reading about firms. A first-time investor browses Instagram and Facebook looking at brands. One post written for both reaches neither well.
“Showing a unit at work beats listing its fees”
A short video of a franchisee's counter, a kitchen or a classroom tells a buyer more than an investment table. The brand must agree to the filming, and the franchisee must be happy to appear.
“Posting a brand the firm cannot name is a dead end”
When agreements stop the firm naming a brand, a post about an unnamed placement convinces nobody. Ask each brand for permission to name it, and post only what is confirmed.
“Comments are enquiries in disguise”
An investor who writes asking for the investment figure is a lead. If the comment sits unanswered, or the answer is a public reply with a phone number requested, the person has gone elsewhere.
What we do
What we deliver for franchise development companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Two content streams
A founder stream on LinkedIn about readiness, mandates and placement judgement, and an investor stream on Instagram and Facebook about brands and unit life.
Result: Each audience sees content written for its question.
Brand-approved post bank
A set of posts about each active brand, approved by the brand before use, covering the unit, the support and the next step for an enquirer.
Result: No post is published that the brand has not read.
Franchisee spotlight with consent
A short feature on a franchisee describing the day-to-day work, shared only with the franchisee's agreement and the brand's.
Result: A buyer sees what running a unit involves.
Comment and message handling routine
A short script for replying to investment questions and moving the person to a call or form.
Result: Every comment asking about cost gets a reply from a named person.
Plan for the firm's own capacity
A posting plan sized to what the team can maintain, so accounts do not go silent between mandates.
Result: The accounts stay active across both busy and slow periods.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How the social media work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1

We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.
- 2
Audit current presence
We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.
- 3
Build the content calendar
A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.
- 4
Implement and post
Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
