FranFunnel and FranConnect: Better Together for Franchise Sales

FranFunnel is the fastest way to respond to franchise leads — even if you use FranConnect.

If you're using FranConnect to manage your CRM and operations, you're already invested in tracking and pipeline management. But here's the truth: CRM alone isn't enough to convert leads. That's why so many top franchise brands use FranFunnel alongside FranConnect — to start more conversations, book more calls, and accelerate deals.

Why FranFunnel Exists

FranFunnel was built for one reason: speed-to-lead wins deals.

CRMs are designed to organize data. But franchise leads don’t wait around. If you're not texting them within 60 seconds of form submission, you’ve already lost ground.

That’s where FranFunnel shines:

  • Instant SMS and email replies

  • Automated booking links

  • Personalized workflows that feel human

  • Easy setup and no IT required

We don't replace your CRM — we activate your pipeline.

Using FranFunnel with FranConnect

FranConnect is excellent for tracking, compliance, and long-term deal management. But when it comes to fast, personalized outreach — most teams bolt on other tools, hire more reps, or just… hope for the best.

FranFunnel does what CRMs can’t:

  • Sends an auto-reply within seconds

  • Texts feel personal, not templated

  • Booked calls happen before competitors even respond

  • Responses sync back into FranConnect (if desired)

"FranConnect helps us manage the deal. FranFunnel helps us start it."

What It Looks Like In Action

Ghosted Lead Often ignored Triggered re-engagement workflows
Pipeline Reporting Manual status updates Realtime engagement synced back to CRM

Setup Is Fast (Really Fast)

Most teams are live within 10–15 minutes:

  • Connect lead sources (e.g., form, webhook, Zapier)

  • Choose or customize your outreach sequence

  • Start conversations automatically — and watch response rates climb

  • See all your FranFunnel activity data back in FranConnect

No devs. No months-long rollout. Just results.

You Don’t Need to Choose

We’re not here to replace FranConnect. We’re here to help you get more out of it.

Your CRM is where deals are managed. FranFunnel is how deals begin.

And together, they give you full-funnel coverage — from first touch to signed agreement.
