“Of tremendous benefit to both franchisors and franchisees. Practical, user friendly and obviously based on years of hands on experience. I love the summaries and action tips at the end of each chapter. I only wish I had some of these insights in my early days as a franchisor. Life would have been a little easier.”

This book should become your business and relationship bible.”

Simple, succinct communication means that the message is often quickly absorbed and not lost in complexities. If all organisations adopted his philosophies and business practices, they would eliminate the lost time and lost energy often expended on conflicts and disputes.”

“Every page of Profitable Partnerships relates to my journey as a franchisee. I actually laugh out loud when I am reading it, even though it is a very serious subject, because it reflects so many of my concerns and thoughts. It raises all the issues franchisees have and explains the gaps in franchisor and franchisees’ understanding of each other’s problems and goals.”
