If You're Running a Franchise or B2B Services Business - Here's What You're Missing

SupaHuman Team

If you manage a franchise or a B2B services network, here’s an uncomfortable truth:

The biggest revenue losses in your business aren’t visible in your financials. They’re buried in your CRM.

Every day, your sales and telemarketing teams are flying blind:

  • Which leads are ready to convert?
  • Which clients are about to churn?
  • Which accounts are primed for upsell?

Most teams don’t know.

They’re stuck navigating spreadsheets, disconnected CRMs, and manually building quotes that often go nowhere.

This isn’t just frustrating - it’s operational drag that kills growth.

The Operational Reality in ANZ Sales Teams

Let’s get specific.

  • 45% of ANZ mid-market businesses report that sales teams spend over 6 hours a week just identifying who to call.
    • Salesforce SMB Trends Report ANZ, 2023

  • A 2024 Franchise Business NZ study found:
    • Only 27% of franchisors have a standardised quoting process
    • 62% of franchisees say upsells are “rarely identified” during service
    • 71% of reps find their CRM either too complex or not regularly updated

  • In ANZ property services, the average quote turnaround is 4.3 days - and 30–40% of deals go cold before anyone follows up.
    • Local Services AI Study, 2023

This isn’t a people problem.

It’s a systems failure.

The Three Patterns We See Repeatedly

1. Leads Go Cold Before Action

  • CRMs are full of accounts
  • Reps guess who to follow up with
  • Urgency is missed because there’s no live scoring or daily prioritisation

2. Quoting Is Slow and Inconsistent

  • Each rep builds their own template
  • Branding is inconsistent, data fields are wrong or missing
  • Delays cost deals - especially when competitors reply faster

3. Upsells Slip Through the Cracks

  • No system to identify add-ons or renewals
  • Loyal customers miss out on value
  • High-LTV clients aren’t managed proactively

These issues are amplified in franchise and multi-site service networks, where:

  • Sales data lives in silos across franchisees
  • Head office lacks quote visibility
  • Managers waste time just tracking who did what

The Root Cause Isn’t Your Tools - It’s the Gaps Between Them

Adding more platforms hasn’t solved the problem.
In fact, it’s made it worse.

  • Every tool captures activity - none guide action

  • Every CRM tracks data - none deliver decisions

Sales teams need workflows that are connected, intelligent, and automated.

Imagine This Instead

  • You walk in every morning and see who to call, why, and with what pitch

  • Quotes are ready in minutes, prefilled with accurate data

  • Upsell triggers are flagged automatically based on customer behaviour

  • Your team knows what to do by 7am every day

That’s not a future state. That’s what we’ve built - right now - for Jani King.

The Hidden Time Sink in Assessment Design: Theory vs. Practical Mismatch

Assessment mismatches between theory and practice create hours of rework for training providers. If your team spends hours rewriting assessments to fit the right level - conceptual vs. applied. You’re not alone. The problem? Most tools blur the line between theory and practice. Training providers handling unit and skills standards need clear mode control at the design stage to save time and stay compliant.

From Chaos to Clarity: How Smarter Standard Management Transforms Training Providers

“Where does this standard belong?” If your training organisation has ever lost time manually digging through hundreds or thousands of unit standards, you’re not alone. In high-compliance environments like RTOs and enterprise L&D departments, managing standards isn’t just administrative - it’s strategic. But without a clear way to group and oversee them, organisations face cluttered systems, risk of misaligned training, costly oversight errors and wasted hours on search and scroll. Fortunately, there’s a smarter way forward...
