Independent Research Data Shows Franchisees Are Highly Satisfied with  Sandler’s Innovation and Creativity

 OWINGS MILLS, MD – October 9, 2024 – Sandler was identified by Franchise Business Review as one of just 50 franchise brands to be named an award-winning franchise in its 2024 report on the Most Innovative Franchises.

Sandler, in its 41^st year of franchising, is the leading global sales organization responsible for empowering over 50,000 sales professionals and leaders annually.

Franchise Business Review, a research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes annual rankings of the top franchises in its Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as guides throughout the year ranking the top franchises in specific sectors.

To identify the companies on the list of this year’s Most Innovative Franchises, Franchise Business Review analyzed 18 months’ worth of data from 35,000 franchisees representing more than 365 brands. Franchise owners were asked about their brand’s innovation and creativity as well as their trust in the franchisor, overall satisfaction with the brand, and likelihood to recommend it to others.

“Innovation matters in that it could be what separates the best, most viable franchise opportunities from the rest—a critical factor for prospective franchisees looking for a smart investment,” said Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review. “The franchises on this list focus on providing franchise owners with the most innovative products, services, and processes to help their businesses stay fresh and grow. We are proud to recognize the brands that prioritize and value innovation to support their franchisees’ success and the long-term resiliency of the brand.”

Sandler’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.

“We are honored to be recognized for our dedication to innovation,” states Dave Mattson, Sandler’s Executive Chairman and President of Franchise. “At Sandler, we continually strive to evolve our business model, enhance our offerings, and provide our franchisees with the tools and strategies to succeed. Innovation is critical in sales training, as it enables us to adapt to changing market dynamics, meet client expectations, and leverage new technologies to deliver engaging and effective training experiences. This award is a testament to the hard work and creativity of our entire network as we remain committed to driving better sales performance for our clients.”

In an exciting recognition of its exceptional franchise culture, Sandler has been named to Franchise Business Review’s prestigious 2024 Culture100 list. This accolade is a testament to the company’s dedication to fostering a supportive and thriving environment for its franchisees.

Franchise Business Review, an independent market research firm, is renowned for its rigorous evaluations based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. This year’s Culture100 list was compiled from surveys of over 36,000 franchise owners across more than 360 franchise brands. Sandler stood out among its peers, earning top marks in 17 unique areas that are critical to a robust franchise culture, including leadership, core values, franchisee community, and engagement.

Why Sandler Stands Out

At the heart of Sandler’s success is its unwavering commitment to its franchisees. According to the surveys, franchisees highly value the company’s supportive leadership and strong community ethos. This recognition underscores Sandler’s role in creating a positive and collaborative environment where franchisees can thrive.

Michelle Rowan, president & COO of Franchise Business Review, emphasized the importance of culture in franchise success: “Finding the right culture fit is an important part of any franchise investment decision, but it can be difficult to gauge. That’s why we gather data on how current franchisees rate a brand’s culture. It tells you whether franchisees believe the franchisor cares about their success and how well the community of support staff and franchisees work together to achieve their business objectives.”

About Sandler

Sandler is the world’s largest sales effectiveness training organization. Under the direction of Dave Mattson, Sandler’s Executive Chairman, the brand’s core values of company culture being a top priority serves as a guiding principle that originated from David Sandler, the company’s visionary founder.

“Company culture is a top priority of the Sandler leadership team passed down to each department, employee and franchisee. When a company wants to turn things around, rallying around a common culture mission should be a priority and that is what we have done,” states Mattson.

Sandler’s commitment to creating an outstanding franchise experience is further evidenced by recent survey results collected by Franchise Business Review. These results underscore the supportive and positive environment that franchisees enjoy within the Sandler network such as:

• 93% of franchisees feel fellow franchises are supportive of each other.
• 95% of franchisees are likely to recommend Sandler franchise ownership to others.
• 91% of franchisees agree they enjoy being part of the organization.

The Significance of the Culture100 List

The Culture100 list is a vital resource for prospective franchisees, offering insights into the franchise brands that excel in creating supportive and successful environments. Brands on this list are rated significantly higher by their franchisees—between 20% to 50% more—compared to other franchise brands in key cultural areas.

For those considering investing in a franchise, Sandler’s inclusion in the 2024 Culture100 list is a strong indicator of its dedication to franchisee satisfaction and success. This recognition not only enhances the company’s reputation but also reassures potential franchisees of the supportive and thriving community they will be joining.

Why Entrepreneurs Choose Sandler

As Sandler continues to set high standards in franchise culture, its recognition in the 2024 Culture100 list serves as a beacon for those seeking a franchise that values and nurtures its franchisees. This honor is a celebration of the collective efforts of the company’s leadership and its franchisees, all of whom contribute to the vibrant and dynamic culture that defines Sandler.
