those out as olive branches in your discussions. Frank, open
communication, outlining each party’s position, can be effective for
both parties to see just what the other one is thinking.
You might be thinking “Why should I do all the work?” Agreed, the
Franchisor is responsible for their side of the bargain as well, however
if you behave like a grown up and a businessperson, it’s more likely
that your Franchisor will as well. And if they don’t – well, it looks good
for you if you’ve tried to negotiate, where litigation is the only option
remaining.
I guess this one is a bit of a trick – a good or bad relationship with your
Franchisor won’t necessarily translate to more dollars in your pocket.
But it will translate to more dollars STAYING in your pocket, if you
keep the relationship businesslike and civil.
