Instant SMS Outreach

Every lead gets a personalized text in under 60 seconds — nights, weekends, holidays. It references their inquiry and asks a real question, so the conversation starts while other brands are still checking their inbox.

🤖

AI Agents for Every Stage

FranFunnel's AI engages candidates, answers their questions, and offers meeting times right in the text thread — with a purpose-built agent for each pipeline stage, intro call through Discovery Day. Your rep can step in any time: one manual message and the agent stands down.

🔄

Two-Way CRM Sync

Every conversation logs to FranConnect, GHL, Salesforce, HubSpot, and others automatically — and the sync runs both directions. Move a candidate to a new stage in your CRM, and FranFunnel launches the right engagement for that stage. No double entry, ever.

📈

Full-Funnel Automation

Follow-ups, reminders, re-engagement of gone-quiet leads, post-handoff check-ins — every stage keeps moving on its own, so no candidate stalls because someone got busy. Your team spends its day on warm conversations, not chasing.

🏢

The Problem

Your CRM stores leads. It doesn't contact them.

Most franchise brands rely on reps to follow up — and reps are busy, distracted, or off the clock when a lead comes in. By the time someone reaches out, the candidate has already talked to three other brands. FranFunnel closes that gap automatically.

The moment a lead arrives, they hear from you — before anyone else gets the chance.
