Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Advisory Board Podcast! In this session, we delve into the intriguing world of franchising with Tony Hulbert, the dynamic CEO of Horsepower, a brand that's revolutionizing the franchising landscape by easing operational burdens for franchisees.
First off, a huge thank you to ClientTether for sponsoring today’s episode. Their support helps bring these insightful discussions to all of you!
Today's chat starts with Dave Hansen highlighting Horsepower's innovative approach, which significantly lightens the load for franchise operators, allowing them to focus more on growth and less on the grind. Tony’s journey is as fascinating as it is instructive. Starting in the PepsiCo system, moving through roles as a franchise operator in the nutrition space, and now leading Horsepower, Tony brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective on building and scaling successful franchise models.
Tony shared insights into the “Z services” platform at Horsepower, which provides a suite of essential services like bookkeeping, marketing, and recruiting to franchisees, effectively addressing common business pain points. This model not only simplifies operations but also allows franchisees to concentrate on what they do best: expanding their business.
An essential part of our discussion was the critical role of data in franchising. Tony emphasized the importance of having a robust data strategy that begins with understanding customer interactions and extends through detailed performance metrics across the business. He outlined how Horsepower develops key performance indicators (KPIs) that guide franchisees from the launch phase through to established operations, ensuring a clear path to success.
Furthermore, Tony touched upon the strategic thinking behind Horsepower’s branding and market positioning. He explained the importance of aligning franchise operations with consumer expectations and market dynamics, ensuring that every franchise unit is not just a business but a well-oiled machine capable of sustained growth and customer satisfaction.
As we wrapped up the episode, Tony reflected on the broader implications of their work at Horsepower, highlighting how they’re setting new standards in the franchising industry by integrating innovative practices that respond directly to evolving market needs and franchisee feedback.
