Pinnacle – Franchisee Growth Experts focus on unlocking business potential through specifically designed support programmes for franchisees and supporting businesses who want to franchise their exsiting business.

We had Tim along to deliver a keynote address at our Recognition Express conference.

Not only was it a fascinating story hearing about Tim’s background in South Africa and how his career led to franchising, but also an engaging session about how to add jet fuel to your local marketing efforts, giving everyone some great takeaways to implement in their own business.

I’m delighted to recommend Tim for his outstanding expertise in the franchising industry. With a wealth of specialist knowledge and experience, Tim consistently demonstrates his ability to bring clarity to the complexities of the franchise landscape.

And he’s personally lived through and worked through just about every possible phase of growth a franchisor and franchisee goes through (not just in the UK but also worldwide). I’ve personally worked with Tim for many years and seen him in action so this isn’t some generic testimonial. He’s the real deal.

I just wanted to express my general appreciation of the role Tim has played in helping support myself and other franchisees in chairing regular sessions to support our business growth. Tim took ownership of the “Going for Growth” programme, to steer a relevant and appropriate agenda which attendees participated in very positively. Collectively we achieved some real traction from the sessions we had together. Tim’s approach ensured we each maintained our commitment as a group, were disciplined with our actions and achieved tangible outcomes. The content of these sessions was varied and constructive, whilst being engaging and enjoyable for all of us involved.

Tim is very professional in his approach. He steers the cohort through what is a tried and tested approach whilst maintaining a very human style and the combination of these things feels like it delivers an optimal outcome each time.

‘For nearly seven years, Tim was instrumental in the growth of our network. A key part of this was the performance groups he established – known as ‘Going for Growth’ groups by the network. Not only did these groups satisfy the needs of successful, rapidly growing and long tenured franchisees, they helped to improve and maintain a strong relationship between franchisor and franchisee. These groups remain a vital part of our targeted support and engagement strategy for high-performing individuals.’

‘Tim’s peer coaching taught me how to think like a business with specific targets and measurements.  Doing the quarterly analysis required me to think objectively about the business as a whole, rather than endlessly working on the day-to-day operational requirements. The biggest benefit was being in a room with like-minded, top-performing franchisees and learning from each other.  The slight element of competition as we reviewed each others’ numbers also kept me growing and working on my profit margins at a time when it was all-too-tempting to coast. Without Tim’s Going for Growth, I suspect I would have plateaued or shrunk – with the programme, I continued to grow profitably and well.  It was a stimulating and enjoyable experience and I can’t thank Tim enough for his knowledge, empathy,  professionalism and excellent facilitation.’

‘Tim is a business professional with great knowledge of the franchising model and gave us specific advise about growing our business, at key times in our business growth. He managed many initiatives with Tutor Doctor on behalf of franchisees which benefited the network as a whole.’
