From the first inquiry to final handoff, FranFunnel helps you engage leads faster, stay in touch more consistently, and sync everything back to the CRM you already use.
The Problem with Slow Sales Journeys
Most leads fall through the cracks — not because your team doesn’t care, but because they’re busy.
Franchisors spend time and money generating leads, but too often the ball gets dropped somewhere between first contact and final decision. CRMs help you track deals. But they don’t help you keep conversations alive. CRMs are great for tracking. They’re not built for real-time follow-up.
📉 “80% of leads never respond because outreach is too slow or inconsistent.”
