I sat down with Laura Ridley from The Checklist Group. She’s helped franchises like Success Tutoring explode from a handful of sites to more than 160 territories. We talked about why pre-sales matter, why most franchise owners lose momentum the moment they open the doors, and why lead addiction is killing growth.Laura broke down Meta ads, UGC, avatar-specific campaigns and the massive gap in franchising; no one nurtures their leads properly.

The useful kind.
