Survey Methodology<br />

All active franchise owners were invited to participate in this survey process. New franchise owners<br />

that had just joined the system and had not been in business for 3 months or longer were not<br />

included. Additionally, any franchise owners that had left the franchise system prior to the survey<br />

process were not included.<br />

Franchise owners were made aware of the survey process by their corporate office and encouraged<br />

to participate and share their honest feedback regarding their franchise experience. Franchise<br />

Business Review then contacted each franchisee individually and supplied them with their unique<br />

login information to complete the survey. Franchise Business Review made at least three attempts to<br />

reach each franchise owner directly by email, the postal service and/or by telephone.<br />

The standard survey consists of a total of 53 questions. 37 questions relate directly to the franchise<br />

owner’s experience. The remaining 16 questions are focused on market, lifestyle and personal<br />

demographic questions. Franchise owners had the option to complete the survey anonymously or<br />

choose to share their personal information.<br />

Results represent the aggregated data from 198 surveys completed before June 2013.<br />

Disclaimer<br />

This report IS NOT intended to be an endorsement or recommendation by Franchise Business<br />

Review. Our franchisee satisfaction survey reports are designed to aid prospective investors in<br />

educating themselves about franchising. This report IS NOT intended to replace the typical due<br />

diligence process that any investor should personally undergo prior to making an investment<br />

decisions.<br />

(fsi)<br />

The Benchmark of <strong>Franchisee</strong> <strong>Satisfaction</strong><br />

The <strong>Franchisee</strong> <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Index (FSI) is the industry standard by which the<br />

health of a franchise company can be measured and tracked over time.<br />

Established by Franchise Business Review in 2007, FSI is a collective assessment<br />

of the critical areas of franchisee satisfaction.<br />

Franchise Business Review has surveyed nearly 600 of today’s leading franchise<br />

brands, representing tens of thousands of franchise owners. This data makes our<br />

Franchise <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Index a powerful tool for evaluating franchises, tracking<br />

operational performance and predicting future success.<br />

The seven areas of franchisee satisfaction included in the FSI are:<br />

Training & Support<br />

Business success is all about execution. The critical areas of franchisee training<br />

and support provide the foundation that makes long-term success possible.<br />

Franchise System<br />

Proven systems and established procedures are why most people invest in a<br />

franchise. These are the things that make a franchise run smoothly, maintain a<br />

competitive advantage and achieve greater success over time.<br />

Leadership, Core Values and <strong>Franchisee</strong> Community<br />

Building a successful business and making money are important to every franchise<br />

owner, but much of the long-term satisfaction and day-to-day enjoyment of a<br />

business comes from the strength of the relationship between franchisors and<br />

franchisees. Strong relationships can overcome many business challenges.<br />

Financial Opportunity<br />

While the financial goals of franchisees vary widely, making a living and earning a<br />

reasonable return on their investment is something that most share in common.<br />

General <strong>Satisfaction</strong><br />

General satisfaction is where the rubber meets the road. Has the experience of<br />

owning a franchise lived up to the expectations of the franchisee? Would they<br />

recommend you to others? And most importantly, would they do it again?<br />

Understanding FSI<br />

FSI can range from 0 to 100% and represents a<br />

weighted average of positive responses to a specific<br />

question or a group of questions within one of the<br />

areas being measured for satisfaction. If you were to<br />

simply add up all the positive responses to a<br />

question, giving the same value to an “excellent”<br />

response that you give to a “good” or “very good”<br />

response, you would paint an overly optimistic<br />

picture. FSI provides a realistic view of favorable<br />

satisfaction ratings by weighting more positive<br />

responses and discounting lesser responses to any<br />

given question. FSI ratings provide a reference point<br />

or benchmark to help gauge the overall level of<br />

franchisee satisfaction or satisfaction in a specific<br />

area.<br />

Understanding the Survey Summary<br />

This Franchise Business Review report was created<br />

with color-coded bar charts designed to make it easy<br />

for you to interpret your survey data. Each of our<br />

standard survey questions is asked on a 5-point<br />

scale. All positive responses are represented on the<br />

bar chart in blue, with very positive responses (++) in<br />

dark blue and positive responses (+) in light blue.<br />

Neutral responses (+/-) are shown in grey. Negative<br />

responses (-) are shown in orange and the most<br />

negative responses (--) in red.<br />

Included on the bar charts are the percent of<br />

responses for each question, shown by a white<br />

number. The vertical gray lines indicate quartile<br />

segments (25% of the responses) for easy visual<br />

comparison from question to question. Each chart<br />

also includes the total number of responses (n) and<br />

<strong>Franchisee</strong> <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Index (FSI).<br />

SECTION 1:<br />

Summary <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Report<br />

The Summary <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Report shows your average scores (on a five-point scale) for each section<br />

and each question of the survey. It’s designed to give you an overview of how the whole system rates<br />

you, and the simplified scoring (using averages instead of our weighted <strong>Franchisee</strong> <strong>Satisfaction</strong><br />

Index [FSI]) provides you with an easy way to present your results to franchisees and prospective<br />

franchise buyers.<br />

Overall <strong>Satisfaction</strong>, the first section, shows the average scores for each section of the survey:<br />

Training & Support, Franchise System, Leadership, Core Values, <strong>Franchisee</strong> Community, Self-<br />

Evaluation, Financial Opportunity, and General <strong>Satisfaction</strong>. To the right of the first chart, we list the<br />

number of respondents to the survey, and what percentage of your franchisees that number<br />

represents. Below the Overall <strong>Satisfaction</strong> section, the rest of the Summary <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Report goes<br />

through each of section of the survey individually, (showing you the questions in that part of our<br />

survey and how the franchisees rated you for each. Finally, the Summary <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Report wraps<br />

up with a breakout of the demographics of respondents.<br />

and bad years. At any given time, a franchisee will be<br />

dealing with various challenges and issues, both<br />

personal and business related, that effect their levels<br />

of satisfaction in certain areas. Because of this, we<br />

Financial Opportunity<br />

Most business failures are due to<br />

under-capitalization or lack of positive cash flow.<br />

Certainly, every startup business (franchise or<br />

otherwise) struggles initially and may take many<br />

months or even years to start turning a profit. In our<br />

Financial Opportunity section, we look at four critical<br />

areas of financial performance and how well the<br />

business livers up to the financial expectations of<br />

the franchisees.<br />

Fees<br />

How current franchise owners rate the fairness of<br />

the fees they pay, given the value of the services<br />

and support they receive.<br />

Total Investment<br />

How current franchise owners rate the total<br />

investment they have made into their business and<br />

whether it is in line with their original expectations.<br />

Financial Picture<br />

How franchisees rate the current financial picture of<br />

their business relative to their expecations.<br />

Long-Term Growth<br />

How franchisees rate the long-term growth<br />

opportunity provided by their franchise business.<br />

In business as in life, you experience many ups and<br />

downs. We all have our share of bad days, bad<br />

weeks and bad years. At any given time, a<br />

franchisee will be dealing with various challenges<br />

and issues, both personal and business related, that<br />

effect their levels of satisfaction in certain areas.<br />

Because of this, we ask franchisees two broad<br />

questions related to their satisfaction. Of all of the<br />

questions we ask franchise owners, these are clearly<br />

the most telling.<br />

Overall Opportunity<br />

How current franchisees rate the franchisor and the<br />

overall opportunity provided by the franchise system.<br />

Overall Performance<br />

How current franchise owners rate their overall<br />

performance as successful franchise operators.<br />

Overall <strong>Satisfaction</strong><br />

How current franchise owners rate their overall<br />

satisfaction with their franchise as a whole.<br />

Do It Over Again<br />

How current franchisees responded when asked to<br />

rate the likelyhood of making the same decision to<br />

invest in their franchise again, knowing what they<br />

know today.<br />

Recommend<br />

How current franchise owners rate their likeliness to<br />

recommend this franchise opportunity to others.<br />

SECTION 3:<br />

Annual Trend Report<br />

The Annual Trend Report helps you track your company’s overall franchisee satisfaction over time<br />

and quickly identify any shifts and/or trends before they become a system-wide issue. The report<br />

goes through each section of the survey (Training & Support, Franchise System, Leadership, Core<br />

Values, <strong>Franchisee</strong> Community, Self-Evaluation, Financial Opportunity, and General <strong>Satisfaction</strong><br />

The data is color-coded so you can easily areas in which you receive high marks (those in dark blue)<br />

and areas that need improvement (those in red and orange). The small number located within the<br />

color on the bar represents the percentage of respondents that answered with that choice. The “n”<br />

number on the right column is the number of respondents, and the “FSI” is the score for that<br />

question/section.<br />

After the Survey Summary, a series of pie charts provide demographic information about your<br />

franchisees. These charts are followed by a copy of each Individual franchisee’s survey with their<br />

individual answers and comments for each question. If the franchisee opted to share his/her<br />

identity, this is included on the individual franchisee’s survey page.<br />

Comments<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the overall quality of your franchisor's Training and Support:<br />

Nancy Tiillay: Support is usually good except for tax support.<br />

It needs to get better.<br />

Larry Damm: Adequate support.<br />

Anonymous: Molly Wally's is excellent at providing the right<br />

tools to use in your business.<br />

Craig Viss: All need some updating to remain current and<br />

relevant. It is apparent that Molly Wally's does care about<br />

the success of their franchisees.<br />

William Rmith: Marketing Support continues to be the<br />

weakest, but telemarketing firm has improved over earlier<br />

models<br />

Ronya Rilva: Very effective and always willing to help. The<br />

biggest thing they need to work on is proactively getting in<br />

front of new offices and/or offices that aren't growing or<br />

staying very small. Many owners don't reach out for help,<br />

and Molly Wally's could do more help them along by not<br />

waiting for the owner to contact home office.<br />

the home office has help me tremendously.<br />

Joel Dakar: DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE CONSIDERING I DO<br />

NOT KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP OF STAFF TO NUMBER OF<br />

FRANCHISES. USUALLY I WILL GET A RESPONSE IN 24-48<br />

HOURS. NOT GOOD IF YOU ARE STUCK ON AN ISSUE.<br />

Anonymous: THEY MAKE A GOOD EFFORT TO ASSIST YOU IF<br />

NEEDED.<br />

Dennis J. Darryman: The recent training webinars have been<br />

excellent and very informative.<br />

Rick Derback: Upfront support prior to starting is very good.<br />

Once, I started the business there has been little follow up<br />

with me in the field. I have received no contact from the<br />

home office since I started the business unless, I initiated<br />

the call.<br />

Langdon KaFirta: The marketing and sales programs are not<br />

strong enough to support franchisees with little or no selling<br />

experience.<br />

Jim Ryad: Training and support are second to none.<br />

Jim Shialan,: A more organized and effective mentoring<br />

program.<br />

Fred Pegar: From the beginning, the training and support<br />

has been excellent.<br />

James Lilas(#2): Actual operations training is very good.<br />

Marketing training very poor as they keep changing<br />

marketing philosophy and programs.Teach one program and<br />

promote others.<br />

Cali Idiirna: Technology is way behind - very slow to respond<br />

Phil Nattarsin: Attanding meetings is costly and provide<br />

limited valuable information which could be shared much<br />

more cost effectively for franchise owners. Particularly when<br />

info is changing throughout the year.<br />

Ralph Pankin: OK but needs to be updated. Follow up<br />

training with updated manuals<br />

Fred Pansbargar: Tax training is a significant weak spot.<br />

Support is very good, but support does not replace training.<br />

Coming into the business with no tax background has proved<br />

to be a significant hindrance to success.<br />

Lawrence Naani: Addition of the online seminars was great -<br />

keep it up.<br />

Support hours are too short for west coast accounts - also<br />

the idea<br />

of taking 1/2 days off on Fridays in the summer while quaint<br />

is not reality in today's competitive market.<br />

Kathy Linahan: Improvements in the use of Technology<br />

would be helpful<br />

Comments<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the overall quality of your franchisor's Training and Support:<br />

(CONTINUED)<br />

Harry Nattarsin: More marketing in two week training. In<br />

field training<br />

JoEthel Friar: Tax training is good. Overall training on<br />

marketing and operations is minimal. The use of technology<br />

on recent webinars have helped in keeping franchisee aware<br />

of new tax developments. More of these training sessions<br />

should be held for marketing techniques and overall<br />

operations to help franchisee improve marketing<br />

development and office operations uniform.<br />

Paul Flass: We need to do have ongoing web based training<br />

sessions in the areas of operations and practice<br />

management.<br />

Joan Garst: I believe the support available to individual<br />

offices give local office unique, small and local, supported by<br />

a greater organization.<br />

Herb Gantin: They could stand to keep their sales and<br />

marketing more current with changing conditions. Otherwise<br />

it is a good general strategy<br />

Jeffrey Kaysin: Overall training could be updated to reflect<br />

what's happening in the market place in terms of<br />

competition. Technology is easy to use, but could be<br />

improved as it is lacking features that are found in off the<br />

shelf software solutions.<br />

Meg Farratt: The training was broken into 1 week of<br />

operations and 1 week of marketing. The operations was<br />

good, but much of it is difficult to digest until one is able to<br />

get in the field. The marketing structure was well put<br />

together.<br />

James Maejikaitis: I believe that Molly Wally's needs to<br />

enforce the technology and communication within the<br />

franchise owners to chare experiences.<br />

Teresa Jilmar: Training is primarily in the tax area.<br />

Joyce Gastar: The Franchise Management Team's vision of<br />

the future is very compelling, especially in the area of<br />

technology. Initial training and support is excelent. Ongoing<br />

training and support is "good". Thus, av average rating of<br />

"very good". System-wide communication, well, I haven't<br />

worked with another franchise. I thing it's good. Support<br />

manuals and documentation are excellent.<br />

Cheryl Cavis: Accounting software and other technologies<br />

need upgrading to more robust platforms. Marketing seems<br />

confined to traditional lines instead of more focus on<br />

internet and social networking marketing efforts.<br />

Ami Biert: I was trained over 20 years ago. I'm sure it is<br />

quite different now.<br />

Karen Banata: I think if the franchisor had a company<br />

owned accounting and tax operation it would help them in<br />

knowing more of what are needs are.<br />

Thomas Gawks: Experience is a key to the business. The<br />

franchisor provides plenty of support in terms of experienced<br />

staff and trainers for those who need to come up the<br />

learning curve.<br />

Glen Nhillips: It would be more effective if training,<br />

particularly the operations and tax training, were iterative<br />

over the course of the first year or two. After attending the<br />

initial training, it could be months before you get your first<br />

client or begin processing and seeing the types of<br />

issues/questions you will encounter regularly.<br />

Thomas Rwanstrim: training is extremely poor in particular<br />

helping with the state situation. there is no other way to<br />

learn than trial and error which is dangerous. Support on<br />

questions is acceptable<br />

Murray Darecci: I GET WHATEVER TRAINING AND SUPPORT I<br />

NEED, WHENEVER I ASK FOR IT.<br />

Rick Dlasi: Training is very good for the most part, however,<br />

sometimes communicating what a new program really<br />

invoves and getting all franchisees on board could be better.<br />

Comments<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the overall quality of your franchisor's Training and Support:<br />

(CONTINUED)<br />

Arlene Liwray: I did not feel adequately prepared for<br />

marketing and sales after the initial training program. There<br />

was not enough time devoted to the sales process and<br />

closing in the initial training and there should be more<br />

followup in the field training on this.<br />

The bi-weekly operations training webconference has been<br />

very useful and should be extended to contain more sales<br />

and marketing training.<br />

The better closing workshop in October was very good and<br />

should be extended to all offices via webconference.<br />

John Darish: Still working on some communication<br />

problems. Quicker phone answering would help a lot<br />

Anthony Gent: I believe that the new method of cnetralized<br />

processing effected the way we were trained. We should<br />

have been trained on the oprations side as if we were going<br />

to do the processing ourselves. This would have given us<br />

more understanding and confidnece in what we were selling.<br />

Susan Damisi: I feel that the sales training and support that<br />

I received was outstanding. Especially sending someone to<br />

my office to work with me. However, after reaching 30+<br />

clients, I repeatedly asked for help getting over that<br />

threshold but received no help whatsoever. This is an area<br />

in which the franchise should excel. They know which offices<br />

are successful. They could capture those best practices and<br />

teach it to the rest of us. It's too late for me now, but I never<br />

had a problem getting new clients, I had a problem<br />

processing. When I asked for help I was ignored, and when<br />

Steve receives a criticism in this area he talks around it and<br />

is not willing to take ownership.<br />

Bill Rparli: I think training can be more pro-active. Meaning,<br />

initial training had a few days of marketing training, however<br />

nothing has been pushed (maybe even offered) in terms of<br />

marketing training. However, all communication indicates<br />

our primary focus should be on marketing our business.<br />

Some additional on-going training would help us in<br />

overcoming the hesitation we may have in marketing.<br />

Ron Darilzhaimar: More Webinars<br />

National branding<br />

Better website<br />

Where is this new, super, great, fantastic website which I can<br />

customize and was suppossed to be released shortly after<br />

the 2010 tax season. Should I be able to promise my clients<br />

delivery in April and then still not deliver by December? Is<br />

this a new culture we are cultivating<br />

Quickbooks integration? HA. I know it will happen shortly<br />

after the 2010 tax season.<br />

What happened to the monthly phone conferences on selling<br />

techniques review.<br />

Ronya Fillaland: I am happy with where they are going;<br />

however, I am waiting on the promised improvements to<br />

arrive.<br />

Charles Undarsin: franchisor needs a company unit to better<br />

understand the environment and problems<br />

Fred Mawall: I think if they would answer their phones and<br />

quit using voice mail to screen their calls it would help. I can<br />

hardly ever get a real person on the phone. There for support<br />

is lacking from lack of communication.<br />

David Tilliams: Telephone support almost none, and very<br />

slow response to e-mails.<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the overall quality of your Franchise System:<br />

Nancy Tiillay: It is very good.<br />

Larry Damm: Very strong product.<br />

Anonymous: Software could use some functionality to ease<br />

"crunch time" work, such as aggregating payments by<br />

vendors.<br />

Dennis Vallanikaran: Excellent product and support.<br />

Steve Dirt: I think the tax group is the more focused and<br />

helpful than the other support groups in terms of todays<br />

environment.<br />

Rick Derback: The systems in place to attract the small<br />

business client are excellent. The marketing programs work<br />

and generate business.<br />

Langdon KaFirta: We need to get better technology to<br />

compete in the current environment and attract the next<br />

generation of business people.<br />

Ronya Rilva: software that's closer to the cutting edge of<br />

technology is needed to maintain competitiveness in the<br />

future.<br />

Lawrence Naani: Overall a very honest organization but it is<br />

very bogged in the past<br />

and takes too long to implement changes that are needed -<br />

they are trying<br />

and are making some real improvements for the future.<br />

JoEthel Friar: As previosly noted additional training is<br />

needed. Programs are only adequate and need to be<br />

updated to help us compete. We should make sure that our<br />

partner relationships will be ongoing and not have consant<br />

change every few years. It is difficult to market ourselves<br />

when we are always changing our products due to change in<br />

partners.<br />

Paul Flass: Molly Wally's is considering how to better use<br />

technology to enhance it's system.<br />

Joan Garst: Again, local operations with broad support<br />

system, marketing, accounting and tax support.<br />

Meg Farratt: I am continually impressed with the quality of<br />

this system. I firmly believe that the goals of the franchise<br />

are directly in line with mine.<br />

James Maejikaitis: We need to have franchise internal<br />

audits on the system to standardize all procedures.<br />

Jim Ryad: Very little in the form of competition for what we<br />

offer<br />

Jim Shialan,: My market may be atypical, but the marketing<br />

plan is not working in my market and the recommended<br />

pricing is too expensive for my market.<br />

Ronald McDanial: slow to keep up with technological<br />

advances<br />

Phil Nattarsin: individual owners are responsible for the<br />

quality. Software in rather inflexible in providing info clients<br />

would like to have. Systems do not allow imports of data<br />

from banks & credit cards.<br />

Joyce Gastar: I love this franchise because the innovation<br />

and creativity is within the hands of the franchisee. There is<br />

considerable freedom for us. I think we are excellently<br />

positioned in the competitiveness area because I feel we are<br />

far ahead of the competition and will stay there with Molly<br />

Wally's's visionary future. Quality of the product is in the<br />

hands of the owner. That is very empowering. They bring<br />

the model, we bring the excellence.<br />

Cheryl Cavis: Marketing is too traditional.<br />

Thomas Gawks: Well respected in the market place. I as an<br />

owner have the tools I need to compete against anyone in<br />

the company's niche. The whole system is about providing<br />

good service to the end client, growth for the franchise<br />

owner and therefore success and national credibility for the<br />

franchise operation.<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the overall quality of your Franchise System: (CONTINUED)<br />

Arlene Liwray: Products and services are typically better<br />

than the competition thereby increasing competitiveness.<br />

Prices are usually higher than competition which reduces<br />

market competitivenes.<br />

Dick Padfiit: Very productive, Educational, Informative,<br />

Supportive programme.<br />

Fred Mawall: They spend too much time on trying to be a big<br />

deal, and not taking care of their clients, us the franchise.<br />

They are more interested in what new deal they can make<br />

for themselves than what they can do for us. They do not<br />

seem to realize if we are blessed they will be as well. They<br />

would sale more franchises, if the ones they have prosper<br />

Ron Darilzhaimar: The question you did not ask is "What<br />

seperates Molly Wally's from all the other bookkeepers, tax<br />

preparers, payroll suppliers?" The answer to which you may<br />

be amazed at the disparity.<br />

Charles Undarsin: franchisor needs to fund more of the<br />

advertising initiatives to determine how viable they are<br />

Comments<br />

If you could make one recommendation to Senior Management, what would it be?<br />

Nancy Tiillay: Senior mgmt can not possibly involve<br />

everyone in their decision making or they will not get<br />

anything finalized. They probably have the Board involved.<br />

Larry Damm: Think outside the box about how technology<br />

can better position us to deal with the business owners of<br />

the future.<br />

Anonymous: Corporate management needs to move away<br />

from support of decaying franchises and provide more<br />

support to those that are investing for growth.<br />

Jack Larila: Manage the "home office" better. Discouraging<br />

to see the inconsistency in terms of professionalism and<br />

competence in Athens, GA.<br />

Dennis Vallanikaran: concentrate less on marketing and<br />

more on cutting edge technology, which will out-class<br />

competitors<br />

Joel Dakar: NOT BEING CLOSE TO MANAGEMENT IT WOULD<br />

BE DIFFICULT TO CRITIQUE. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT<br />

ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE IMPORTANT AND THEREFORE NO<br />

MORE THAN (3) MAJOR STRATEGIC ISSUES SHOULD BE<br />

TAKEN ON AND COMPLETED EACH YEAR. sPEAKING WITH<br />

OLDER FRANCHISEES THERE APPEARS TO BE A CULTURE OF<br />

STARTING TOO MANY INITIATIVES AND COMPLETING<br />

FEW.WHETHER THAT IS ACCURATE OR NOT WOULD<br />

OBVIOUSLY REQUIRE MORE INTEL.<br />

Ronya Rilva: Involve the franchisees more in helping<br />

determine the direction of the company.<br />

also, either be more active in guiding new offices, or more<br />

selective to who gets in as new owners. way too many of the<br />

population is stuck at very low levels of revenue.<br />

David Kaysin: Communicate a clear plan and then provide<br />

periodic updates on progress.<br />

Jim Shialan,: Hire a Project Management person or<br />

implement a more results based management style for<br />

enhancements. In talking to more senior franchises, Molly<br />

Wally's management is normally late with promises and<br />

changes direction frequently. In the less than two years I<br />

have seen the late with promises with centralized branding<br />

and Quickbooks interface to PAS.<br />

Ronald McDanial: pay more attention to the new and young<br />

entrepenuers coming into the market place. They have<br />

SIGNIFICANTLY different needs from the old way of doing<br />

things<br />

James Lilas(#2): Senior management is not in touch with<br />

the average franchise. Senior management has changed<br />

vision and directions multiple times in last 5 years.<br />

Cali Idiirna: We keep hearing promises that are either<br />

changed or do not happen<br />

Dennis J. Darryman: Status reports about progress wuold be<br />

helpful to office owners.<br />

Steve Dirt: Again, the tax support group does the best job of<br />

communicating upcoming requirements and needs.<br />

Langdon KaFirta: Beef up the marketing and sales staff.<br />

There is tremendous support for operations but very little for<br />

marketing. Senior management says that marketing is the<br />

most important part of the job, yet the organization is not<br />

reflective of that focus.<br />

William Rmith: Listen to the franchisees more and respond<br />

with action, not only words about what we are going to do.<br />

Phil Nattarsin: There has been lot's of talk and little action<br />

on many fronts. very frustrating to franchise owners. I am<br />

very skeptical regarding any new software development<br />

efforts. I regard this as a huge risk to my accounting<br />

practice. I don't feel that my concerns which I have voiced<br />

about this have been heard. Too many "old" franchisees are<br />

in the system and in management and there view of the<br />

future is what the worls was like 10 years ago.<br />

Lawrence Naani: Move away from the more traditional Top's<br />

Down corporate culture and encourage more motivation for<br />

more of a bottoms up management style. Also<br />

implement Management By Objectives and hold staff<br />

accountable to meet thise<br />

objectives.<br />

JoEthel Friar: Communicate with all franchise owners<br />

regarless of size and number of years on a regular basis.<br />

Always be sure we are bringing in new franchises with proper<br />

backround to be accountants.<br />

Paul Flass: Are we moving forward fast enough.<br />

Joan Garst: Be sure of the direction before making<br />

Meg Farratt: Continue to work on improving communication.<br />

Great job so far!<br />

Fred Mawall: quit trying to carry us to places we do not want<br />

to go, pay attention to us, not your personal dreams of glory<br />

David Tilliams: Remember the small franchise owners.<br />

Ron Darilzhaimar: Start advertising on behalf of the<br />

franchisee in a national way not just to get more franchisees.<br />

Ronya Fillaland: Lack of MEANINGFUL communication is a<br />

Joyce Gastar: More effectiveness in driving initiatives to all<br />

Cheryl Cavis: Commit a laser-like focus on improving<br />

accounting and other technologies.<br />

Ami Biert: under promise - over deliver<br />

Karen Banata: When you go with a project or strategy please<br />

stick with it. I think it sends a unfavorable message when<br />

the project stops or they choose to go a different path when<br />

franchees have followed their initial direction.<br />

Thomas Gawks: Stay the course. The management's<br />

long-term strategic focus with the ability to respond tactically<br />

is a necessary approach given the constantly evolving<br />

environment for tax accounting, tax preparation and payroll<br />

services.<br />

Arlene Liwray: Focus more time and resources on making<br />

new franchisees more successful.<br />

I like the new vision, culture and plans for the future.<br />

Effectiveness will in large part be determined by the<br />

successful implementation of these.<br />

Murray Darecci: THE MANAGEMENT TEAM HAS<br />

CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF<br />

Jim Ryad: Franchisor is very respected among franchises<br />

Jim Shialan,: I would think it would be to the Franchisor's<br />

franchisor sooner.<br />

Diana Rmith: The Franchisor has always operated under the<br />

principle that its success is dependent upon my success.<br />

Dick Padfiit: This is the #1 Accounting Franchise Company<br />

Fred Mawall: they are to busy making deals that no one<br />

Joyce Gastar: I am very proud of this franchise. No<br />

franchise owned franchises meaning that they do not com<br />

pete with us. And, their initial fees are reasonable meaning<br />

that their profit motives are through the royalties whch<br />

matches our profit motives. In other words, their success is<br />

our success meaning that all motivations are lined up. We<br />

sell our services with their support and not their products. If<br />

you are self-confident in the services you provide, this is the<br />

Molly Wallys 2013 Evaluation<br />

Comments<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to your <strong>Franchisee</strong> Community:<br />

Anonymous: Franchise adoption of corporate programs is<br />

anemic. There is good exchange among the franchisees.<br />

Joel Dakar: DIFFICULT SINCE MY GOAL IS TO BUILD A<br />

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS AND I DO NOT THINK OF OTHER<br />

FRANCHISEE'S. PERHAPS A WRONG ATTITUDE BUT<br />

PROFITABILITY IS PRIORITY ONE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE<br />

TO ACHIEVE THUS FAR.<br />

William Rmith: There is an UNREASONABLE expectation<br />

built by many of the new offices of what it takes and how<br />

long it takes to build a successful and profitable franchise.<br />

Ronya Rilva: the community is great, but would be much<br />

more helpful if we had an intranet that could be used to<br />

encourage communication between franchisees.<br />

Jim Shialan,: They recognize I am struggling. Fellow<br />

franchisees are very supportive. If you have a question, they<br />

will go above and beyond to get you an answer or offer<br />

suggestions to help your franchise.<br />

James Lilas(#2): Very little communication with other<br />

franchisees. We are all too busy trying to survive. Many of<br />

the franchisees are exceptional to work with, others offer no<br />

solutions to the problems that exist.<br />

Phil Nattarsin: I think for the most part we all share similar<br />

concerns.<br />

Lawrence Naani: A good bunch of folks - I think an open<br />

Francise Blog for the <strong>Franchisee</strong>s<br />

would help facilitate communication. I'm glad they are<br />

continuing with the annual regional meetings with<br />

management - the last series went well.<br />

Joyce Gastar: WHile I strive to be a leader in the franchisee<br />

community, I am, right now, just an avid follower trying to<br />

learn the system and anxious to get to the near top of myh<br />

learning curve. With a franchise that's been around since<br />

1966, some of the owners who have been around learned a<br />

slightly different model than the one toda and have more<br />

experience to anticipate if current changes are good or not.<br />

So, while supportive, each franchise owner has slighly<br />

different goals so franchise agreement is not always<br />

unanimous.<br />

Cheryl Cavis: Generally the community is supportive of each<br />

other and provide feedback when asked.<br />

Murray Darecci: I'M STILL TOO NEW TO CONTRIBUTE A<br />

WHOLE LOT BUT THOSE WITHIN MY FRANCHISE<br />

COMMUNITY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE WHEN I NEEDED<br />

HELP.<br />

Arlene Liwray: <strong>Franchisee</strong> support at the national level as<br />

demonstrated by the council and the annual conference is<br />

good. I would like to see more support at the local/regional<br />

level.<br />

Dick Padfiit: To get more involve with the Franchisor.<br />

Fred Mawall: The "brand" means nothing to my clients, they<br />

do business with me, regardless of the name of the<br />

company. The franchiser only supports the brand to sale, not<br />

to support. Its hard to build the brand when you never know<br />

what is going to fall through the cracks with the deal making<br />

from management<br />

Joan Garst: I believe the invorment is healthly and<br />

franchisees challenge management when there is concern<br />

where the conmpany may be going.<br />

James Maejikaitis: Molly Wally's needs to be more strong on<br />

standardize the products and system and need to make<br />

mandatory the interaction between franchisees<br />

Comments<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the Financial Opportunity of your business:<br />

Nancy Tiillay: I feel the royalty could be slightly lower.<br />

Growth is a very subjective term and it varies from person to<br />

person. We have to look at our individual family situation to<br />

determine the growth level.<br />

Jack Larila: Fees charged for doing data entry portion of<br />

monthly write-ups (for newer franchisees) are unacceptable.<br />

Anonymous: BECAUSE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS OF BOTH ME<br />

AND MY WIFE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO<br />

DEVOTE THE TIME AND EFFORD TO GROW THE BUSINESS.<br />

Langdon KaFirta: I am a first year franchisee. The<br />

expectations I had of client acquisition are nowhere near<br />

what is reality, and greatly differs from what I was led to<br />

believe.<br />

William Rmith: Hard work, learning the intricacies of small<br />

business accounting, and having a sales oriented personality<br />

(very difficult for most accountants) are the keys to success<br />

in this endeavor. Also, hiring people who care as much<br />

about our business as the owners is the thing that allows<br />

any franchisee to grow.<br />

David Kaysin: I feel that during this recession, the franchisor<br />

should have lowered the minimum royalty requirement to<br />

take into account the slower than normal growth<br />

experienced by new offices.<br />

Jim Ryad: This business could grow as much as I want it to.<br />

Jim Shialan,: I have 30+ years experience in business. I am<br />

not a CPA but my background in Banking was as a<br />

budget/finacial analysis/numbers guy. I am a successful<br />

project manager and am organized. I am not an EA. I did not<br />

purchase an existing practice, I started my business from<br />

scratch, with zero clients. I am not strong in sales and the<br />

marketing ideas recommended by the franchisor, that I have<br />

used, have not worked well in my market. Was I really a<br />

good candidate for this franchise? Having been accepted, I<br />

assume I was, but it's been much harder than I thought and I<br />

wish I had a mentor I could go to. Given the opportunity<br />

early on, I would have paid extra for a mentor to work with<br />

me every week the first month, then every two weeks for<br />

three months, then once a month for six months with,<br />

following a documented plan of action. The results of my<br />

performance, along with other franchsiee results, could be<br />

used to update selection criteria and/or training and/or the<br />

implementation plan of action.<br />

Ronald McDanial: The present economy has the most to do<br />

with this. That is not the fault of the franchisor.<br />

Phil Nattarsin: 9% a month for what exactly?<br />

Lawrence Naani: It's a difficult environment with lot's of<br />

competition - I think tax will remain a strong field but we<br />

have a ways to go to improve our inhouse accounting<br />

system.<br />

Harry Nattarsin: Good long term opportunity. Taking longer<br />

than expected<br />

Paul Flass: Molly Wally's does not have strong name<br />

recognition with our target market in my state. Therefore it<br />

is up the new franchisee to build the brand locally. For many<br />

franchisees, marketing does not come naturally. So even<br />

though the product is excellent, finding and connecting with<br />

clients is the biggest challenge.<br />

Joan Garst: I am once retired and went into this venture with<br />

the idea of keeping challenged and enjoying an occupation. I<br />

did not take advantage of the financial opportunity of the<br />

business. I regret that I was not more aggressive.<br />

Comments<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to the Financial Opportunity of your business: (CONTINUED)<br />

Christy Dasick: The fees for coninuing education have<br />

gotten to high<br />

Ronya Rilva: Growth and some other answers has to be<br />

weighed by my age (71)and needs, and not the promotions<br />

and oppurtunities offered by the franchise. My overall<br />

experience has been very positive, and if I was more<br />

disaplained to follow their procedures etc. I would be<br />

substaintly more successful today than I am.<br />

Joyce Gastar: Again, I'm new.<br />

Cheryl Cavis: Growing more slowly than expected but picking<br />

up recently.<br />

Arlene Liwray: The sales process and in particular closing is<br />

much more difficult than I had expected. In my experience,<br />

the close rate is much lower for a new office than it is for an<br />

established office which makes using the average rate<br />

somewhat misleading.<br />

Dick Padfiit: There is lot of Opportunity but I am sick / Heart<br />

problems don't have much time.<br />

Bonnie Pankin: I plan to retire around April20, 2011 and<br />

transfer my accounting clients to Dennis Hobie in<br />

Fletcher,NC.<br />

Fred Mawall: the current economy has a direct relation to<br />

the financial opportunity of my business. If government<br />

would get out of the picture and let things be, life would be<br />

so much easier. But the current administration has a cradle<br />

to grave thought process. The world has gone PC nuts and<br />

nothing can be done<br />

Ronya Fillaland: They need to move past the promises and<br />

DELIVER improved systems.<br />

Charles Undarsin: The franchise fee is high since no<br />

advertising dollars are spent.<br />

SECTION 5:<br />

<strong>Satisfaction</strong> Detail Report<br />

The <strong>Satisfaction</strong> Detail Report provides a complete breakdown of each survey question (including<br />

both benchmark and custom questions), the response rate, and the answer percentages. The top of<br />

the Survey Summary page shows how many people were invited to participate in the survey and how<br />

many actually participated. The data is color-coded so you can easily identify areas in which you<br />

receive high marks (those in dark blue) and areas that need improvement (those in red and orange).<br />

The small number located within the color on the bar represents the percentage of respondents that<br />

answered with that choice. The “n” number on the right column is the number of respondents, and<br />

the “FSI” is the score for that question/section.<br />

After the Survey Summary, a series of pie charts provide demographic information about your<br />

franchisees. These charts are followed by a copy of each Individual franchisee’s survey with their<br />

individual answers and comments for each question. If the franchisee opted to share his/her<br />

identity, this is included on the individual franchisee’s survey page.<br />

I think if the franchisor had a company owned accounting<br />

and tax operation it would help them in knowing more of<br />

what are needs are.<br />

If you could make one recommendation to Senior<br />

Management, what would it be?<br />

When you go with a project or strategy please stick with it. I<br />

think it sends a unfavorable message when the project<br />

stops or they choose to go a different path when franchees<br />

have followed their initial direction.<br />

Accounting software and other technologies need upgrading<br />

to more robust platforms. Marketing seems confined to<br />

traditional lines instead of more focus on internet and social<br />

networking marketing efforts.<br />

Competition, Products/Services, Creativity<br />

Marketing is too traditional.<br />

If you could make one recommendation to Senior<br />

Management, what would it be?<br />

Commit a laser-like focus on improving accounting and other<br />

technologies.<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to<br />

DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE CONSIDERING I DO NOT KNOW<br />

THE RELATIONSHIP OF STAFF TO NUMBER OF FRANCHISES.<br />

USUALLY I WILL GET A RESPONSE IN 24-48 HOURS. NOT<br />

GOOD IF YOU ARE STUCK ON AN ISSUE.<br />

If you could make one recommendation to Senior<br />

Management, what would it be?<br />

NOT BEING CLOSE TO MANAGEMENT IT WOULD BE<br />

DIFFICULT TO CRITIQUE. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT<br />

ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE IMPORTANT AND THEREFORE NO<br />

MORE THAN (3) MAJOR STRATEGIC ISSUES SHOULD BE<br />

TAKEN ON AND COMPLETED EACH YEAR. sPEAKING WITH<br />

OLDER FRANCHISEES THERE APPEARS TO BE A CULTURE OF<br />

STARTING TOO MANY INITIATIVES AND COMPLETING<br />

FEW.WHETHER THAT IS ACCURATE OR NOT WOULD<br />

OBVIOUSLY REQUIRE MORE INTEL.<br />

Please give any constructive feedback you have related to<br />

your <strong>Franchisee</strong> Community:<br />

DIFFICULT SINCE MY GOAL IS TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL<br />

BUSINESS AND I DO NOT THINK OF OTHER FRANCHISEE'S.<br />

PERHAPS A WRONG ATTITUDE BUT PROFITABILITY IS<br />

PRIORITY ONE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE<br />

I feel that the sales training and support that I received was<br />

outstanding. Especially sending someone to my office to<br />

work with me. However, after reaching 30+ clients, I<br />

repeatedly asked for help getting over that threshold but<br />

received no help whatsoever. This is an area in which the<br />

franchise should excel. They know which offices are<br />

successful. They could capture those best practices and<br />

teach it to the rest of us. It's too late for me now, but I never<br />

had a problem getting new clients, I had a problem<br />

processing. When I asked for help I was ignored, and when<br />

Steve receives a criticism in this area he talks around it and<br />

is not willing to take ownership.<br />
