Fragmented Sales Enablement
The biggest hurdle in the sales industry is managing effective relationships between brokers/dealers and members of other departments throughout your organization. There’s often a scramble from one branch to the next, where employees across the promotional ladder are trying to figure out what they do or don’t have access to in order to finalize sales and make deals.
This is especially true if your company is divided into franchises or branches. Each branch can have local branding needs or target audiences that require something unique to that region.

Brand Conformation To Drive Brand Equity
Personalize Marketing Assets at the Local Level
Franchisees are notoriously the most impatient when it comes to waiting for brand guidelines or approved assets from the corporate marketing team. Since franchise owners have to think about appealing to their targets at the local level, there may be other design needs or concerns involved that the other branches don’t have to consider.
Those with franchises usually come up with out-of-the-box ways to promote their location and its services that doesn’t always necessarily serve the greater good of the organization as a whole.
With a DAM system, you can prevent franchisers from bastardizing your brand by implementing automated resource development tools that are so easy and so streamlined, even the most stubborn franchisee will be able to get on board.
You can also give franchisees a single-login portal so that they’ll have direct access to the brand-compliant assets, materials, and campaign info that they need, without them having to be bogged down by things they don’t need. Keep information and data from your other channels and departments away so your franchise owners don’t get overwhelmed, while still empowering them with the tools to keep their impatience at bay!
Incentivising Marketing Budget's for Local Francises and Chains
Use Your Marketing Budget Wisely
Typically, franchise owners or multichannel agencies don’t have significantly large marketing budgets to use on specific assets or campaigns. So, it’s best to use that funding as wisely as possible. Marketing budgets may not change, but the way you use them can.
With a centralized asset manager, you can implement robust shopping carts with dynamic behaviors, download local or general data in real time, and produce materials without having to deal with the hassle of multiple vendors at once.
Being able to simplify your marketing digital asset creation, approvals, printing, distribution, and data reporting can save you tons of money down the line, while increasing your productivity. In the end, you’ll be turning more of a profit than before.
Consistency with Your Sales Enablement
Brand Consistency Is Key
We often talk about how important it is to stay consistent and on-brand with all of your marketing developments. The best way to maintain brand consistency across all of your channels, branches, departments, and franchises is to have an automated system that looks the same to every one of its users.
This means that all employees will be looking at the same dashboard and using the same program to check inventory, look at digital assets, or schedule a new post. This new system is what keeps franchises on the path to success, helping them cater to their local needs without losing touch of your brand’s vision.
A big frustration that small franchise owners or single-channel employees have is the inability to quickly switch between different programs or tools. With FuseBox One’s single sign-on service, anybody in the company can access one simple login screen that will give them a direct link to all of the different programs and applications they use.
For your corporate office, that could mean the easy switch between the Marketing Management Platform and Salesforce, and for a franchisee, that could mean switching between the inventory application and digital marketing asset portal.
