AI Uncovers Your Future Franchisees

Franchise Ninja is changing the way Franchise Development teams go to market!

We use AI to identify potential franchisees faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Follow the Franchise Ninja to a successful future!

Are you ready? The wait is over!

AI is the new approach to Franchise Development!

For too long, the only avenue for finding prospective franchisees has been traditional media campaigns - SEO, paid, and social. Leaving brands to fight each other for the attention of the same small group of potential, future franchisees.

The result? The Cost per Acquisition is rising by 20% or more each year!

Franchise Ninja supercharges Fran Dev efforts, making this approach a thing of the past!

By combining the cutting-edge AI insights our Market Expansion Platform provides with your existing marketing campaigns, you can now uncover and locate prospects actively exploring business ownership—before they even know about your brand! 

Expand the pool of potentials for your sales team and open more new locations with Franchise Ninja!

Using our AI-powered Market Expansion Platform, more future franchisees can be identified, educated about the advantages of franchising, and converted into your franchise owners!

3 Steps to Opening More Locations

It all comes down to this…how do you open more locations?

Competition across the industry for the same small group of prospects limits the expansion of your franchise. To sell more locations, you must:

Identify more prospects

Educate them on the value of franchising

Engage with them so they choose your brand

We search the millions of entrepreneurs interested in owning a business, starting a business, or buying a business, and use AI to apply up to 40 key data points. Using this data, your marketing team can create 1:1 messaging to educate prospects on the benefits of buying a franchise.

Expanding the number of prospects in your sales funnel requires education on the benefits of franchising. From explaining what franchising is to how franchising compares to opening a business on your own, educating in-market prospects on all franchising has to offer is essential to ensuring the pool of prospects remains robust.

Once prospects see the value of franchising, show them why your brand is the best choice. We provide real-time notifications when engaged prospects visit your site. With our AI Sales Coach feature, your team can quickly adapt to each prospect’s communication style, making it easier to close deals.
