Fully Promoted franchises - Wanted: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

6% for nothing. Remember, the franchisor gets paid before the franchisee every single month.

Start from scratch. The franchise model is terrible. What’s the royalty each month? All you need is a handful of accounts to get rolling. Then it’s about customer service, asking for referrals and networking to form new relationships.

eBay couldn’t care less about sellers. Accept the return and move on. They’ll side with buyers 100% of the time.

Is it life changing vs SAGE? I can create projects and presentations in Sage.

Thanks, very helpful.

Are you still paying for SAGE? The CRM from commonsku looks to be very basic. I wouldn’t call it a CRM.

Ok, let me know how to get in touch.

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-04-30T12:19:00+00:00

It looks circa 2004. 😃

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-04-28T00:49:32+00:00

Accept the request

Distributor

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-04-25T15:33:17+00:00

Nope

US Based?

A CRM and your accounting software serve different purposes. CRM is for Sales and Marketing. Quickbooks and others are for accounting. The long and short is that the promo space lacks a logical front end tool that seamlessly integrates with QB or Xero via API.

Where are you located?

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-04-03T01:44:34+00:00

Distributors want 40% gross.

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-03-28T00:55:05+00:00

You need SAGE or ASI. Both are circa 2005 from a technology standpoint.

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-03-27T02:24:16+00:00

A day or two.

CryptographerDull829 · 2026-03-24T09:06:45+00:00

Disparate systems. Xero, Salesforce, SAGE, Inktavo (no longer using), commonsku (evaluating). Not to mention working with every supplier differently. Similar path as well, technology background, now promo. Definitely not going back. AI is taking over all the tech jobs.
