What do brands really need from their partners and vendors?

And how can suppliers best manage those relationships?

It’s Episode 1200 of Social Geek! The Franchise Rock Stars are back on the most popular podcast in franchising: Kristen Pechacek, Ali Kraus, Derrick Abelman, and Danielle Wright.

We’re diving deep into the three-legged stool of Franchisors, Franchisees, and Suppliers to discuss:

*Monthly check-ins versus monthly challenge

*Using your suppliers and partners to get stronger and better

*Saying NO and making it okay to say no

*Are relationships in franchising getting better? Are they getting harder?

*What are CEOs of brands really looking for now?

*What are the signs of a client quietly quitting?

Thanks also to today’s sponsors: Citrin Cooperman, Northeast Color, Hughes, and Thunderly.

Special Guests: Ali Kraus, Danielle Wright, Derrick Ableman, and Kristen Pechacek.
