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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Posts and pieces to plan

The posts a placement firm can plan for investors and brand owners.

A day in a franchise unit
A clip of an open unit at work, with the franchisee's agreement. Needs the brand's permission to film and name.
Questions to ask before buying
A post for investors on territory, support and costs outside the fee. Needs no brand's terms stated.
What a mandate involves
A LinkedIn post for brand owners explaining how a recruiter works with a brand. Needs your own process, not a client's.
New mandate open in [city]
A post announcing a brand's open territory. Needs the brand's written agreement on what may be said.
Why we pass on a brand
A founder-facing post on what makes a brand unready to place. Shows judgement. Needs no client names.
Meet the recruiter
A short introduction to the person who speaks to candidates. Needs that person's consent.

Who it is for

This is written for these franchise development companies.

  • Firms that sell franchises for food and beverage brands
  • Franchise development firms for retail and fashion brands
  • Education and training franchise placement agencies
  • Health, wellness and salon franchise recruiters
  • Franchise recruiters working with home service brands
  • Master and area franchise placement firms
  • Franchise portals that also run a placement desk
  • Independent franchise recruiters working with a few brands

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No brand has given you permission to be posted, and the page would have to talk about franchising in general only
  • No one can answer the comments and messages that investors send, and unanswered enquiries on a public post look careless
  • You would post income or payback claims for a unit, which the firm cannot prove and which draw complaints

How it works

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. 1

    Confirm audience, platforms and access

    We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.

  2. 2

    Review the current presence

    We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.

  3. 3

    Build the calendar

    Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.

  4. 4

    Create, approve and publish

    Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.

  5. 5

    Record enquiries and adjust

    Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should we post about brands we are still negotiating?
No. Post only about brands whose mandate is signed and whose material is approved. A post about a brand that later declines embarrasses the firm and the founder.
Is paid promotion worth adding?
It can be, for a brand with a clear enquiry route and a team ready to answer. Without that, paid reach produces calls nobody follows up. Check the platform's current rules for advertising a business opportunity.
Is there a risk in posting a brand that is still being negotiated?
Yes. Naming a brand before the mandate is signed can breach a confidence and embarrass both sides. Post only after written agreement on the wording, and describe the opportunity by sector until then. A withdrawn post is also visible to anyone who saved it.
What does an investor look for on a placement firm's page?
Signs the firm is straight about the brands it holds. An investor reads for who the firm works for, how it is paid and whether it will say no to a brand. Posts that show the work of screening a brand answer this better than offers.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
