Built for Franchise Brands That Are Ready to Scale.
One client per vertical. Proactive outbound. Predictable pipeline. This is how serious franchise systems grow.
Most Franchise Development Stalls for the Same Reasons.
Reactive agencies. Portal dependence. The same message blasted to the wrong people. Long sales cycles full of unqualified maybes, and development directors spending most of their time filtering instead of closing.
We built the alternative.
What Markarie does differently:
- We go to where ideal candidates already are instead of waiting for inbound interest.
- We profile by Persona, Pain Point, and Purpose, so targeting is driven by motivation rather than demographics.
- We track every touchpoint across social platforms, email, and nurturing. No guesswork, no wasted spend.
- We spend 2 to 3 hours a day per client on sourcing, sequence refinement, and pipeline management.
- We use AI to accelerate lead acquisition and keep candidates engaged through the FDD disclosure period.
- We work with one brand per vertical, so your pipeline never competes with a rival concept.
Franchise Candidate Identification
The best franchise candidates are not browsing portals. They are on LinkedIn, at industry events, and running businesses in adjacent categories. They do not know your brand yet. We find them first.
We use the PPP® framework (Persona, Pain Point, Purpose) to build a precise candidate profile before a single message goes out. Then we run outbound across social platforms, email, and curated channels, spending 2 to 3 hours a day per client on sourcing, sequence refinement, and pipeline management.
How it works:
- 1PPP® codification. We define your ideal candidate by demographics, capital, career stage, and the motivator that converts.
- 2Multi-channel outbound. Social-platform-first campaigns with email and nurturing support, and every touchpoint tracked.
- 3Hands-on daily sourcing. Account managers work your pipeline every day. This is not a portal ad you set and forget.
- 4AI-assisted lead acquisition. We surface the right contacts before competitors notice them.
- 5Reporting. Monthly performance reports tied to real outcomes: meetings booked, Discovery Days confirmed, agreements signed.
Thought Leadership & Content
Candidates research you before they call. What they find decides whether they show up to Discovery Day or go quiet. We make sure what they find builds confidence.
We create the content that sells between touchpoints: social platform articles, nurturing emails, case studies, and positioning pieces that make your brand the obvious choice in its category.
How it works:
- 1Content strategy aligned to your PPP® candidate personas.
- 2Social platform ghostwriting and thought leadership articles for key stakeholders.
- 3Nurturing campaigns that keep candidates warm during long consideration cycles.
- 4Brand positioning copy that differentiates you from competing franchise concepts.
Retargeting Campaigns
A franchise decision takes weeks, often months. Whoever stays in front of the candidate during that window wins. Retargeting keeps your brand there.
We build and manage paid retargeting on LinkedIn and Meta against the audiences your PPP® profile defines. Every campaign is measured on pipeline outcomes, not vanity metrics.
How it works:
- 1Audience build from your PPP® candidate profile.
- 2LinkedIn and Meta campaign setup and management.
- 3Creative built around franchise-buyer psychology rather than generic lead-gen ads.
- 4Weekly performance data tied to downstream pipeline results.
