This week we have a special guest, Zach Garrett, Founder & CEO of Liftify. We had a great conversation about how increasing the number of your Google reviews can be one of the most efficient ways to increase traffic to your business. April visited with Zach Garrett of Liftify to learn the secrets about gaining more 5 star reviews faster. Spoiler Alert! Relying on your franchisor to request the review is not the answer and Net Promoter Score is not the metric of results you should be watching. Listen in to learn how to maximize and make your Google reviews work for you!

I have a story to share about barriers in business...

Normally, we build processes in our business so that there is structure and ease for our operations departments.

Today's topic is: What do you actually want? What do you actually desire? We just discussed this with our clients as part of our Fast and Focused program. And we go really deep into what you really want.

If you are ready to go deep with me, then listen in!

“The idea of success when we reach success, what makes us feel successful, is all individualized, it's very customized to the person. And in franchising, we want to treat it just as another common denominator that has no variables. And when we create brands, with that belief, then we are turning a blind eye to how and when our franchisees will feel successful." - April Porter
