How to limit the damage, and sometimes even grow your profits after a negative event
I've worked with two types of businesses when it comes to crisis communication in today's world.
The first group have a plan and are ready to act immediately when something goes wrong. This is vital because people make up their mind quickly as to whether you are a victim or a villian. This group come out with minimal damage because they were able to communicate straight away when people were still forming their opinions.

The second group suffer badly because they were nowhere to be seen in this opinion-forming stage. You need PR help, but it can take time for that to arrive. You must be ready to act yourself and have a plan in place for that.

What People Have Said About Franchise Media Training Workshops…
Today’s workshop was great in highlighting the practical things we need to think about as Franchisors and the opportunities and challenges we have with media. We need to be prepared. Franchisors need to put this on their radar and speak to Pete. He’s practical, experienced and has a focus on Franchise systems.

The workshop was well worth the investment because it was so practical. If something goes wrong and the media get involved, I don’t think most Franchisors are ready to deal with it. The proof comes out when we’re put on the spot and I don’t think many of us are ready for that, despite the massive damage that can be done to our brands. Pete showed us how to be ready. Well worth it.

Be Ready Before It's Too Late?
I've often had people contact me or attend my workshops after a negative media experience. Without fail, they all say they wished they had understood all this before the incident happened.
It's not difficult or expensive to be prepared, but it can be crippling and highly stressful if something happens when you have no idea how to respond or take too long.
The webinar will cover all of this. Sign up before it's too late.
