The proven Cascade lead engine, pointed at franchise buyer leads: a consumer quiz funnel, SMS + AI voice follow-up within minutes, qualification scoring, and webhook delivery — in a market where the economics run 10–100x home services.
Draft proposal · Business Hub OS · Prepared October 2026
Franchise brands already pay a fortune for buyer leads — and most of what they buy never turns into a conversation. The opportunity: catch people earlier, give them a useful reason to talk, and verify intent before the lead ever changes hands.
"We'll never share your info without your okay." — the promise the consumer funnel makes. And the one the pro funnel keeps: every lead arrives with consent, capital band, and territory fit attached.
Two ways to sell these leads. Marketplace mode is the full Franchise Pro directory — many brands, shared and exclusive tiers, matched by territory and capital fit. Private mode is a dedicated funnel for one franchisor, where every lead routes to them. Same machinery, single tenant — skip the multi-brand deck and go straight to booking with the brand. It's the stronger wedge: higher ticket, simpler sale, and it fits exactly how single-brand development teams already buy. Marketplace expands after the first pilot proves the engine.
The same machinery that powers the Cascade bathroom funnel — adapted to the way franchise buyers actually decide.
The 8-question matchmaker quiz — capital bands first (the #1 qualifier), then ownership model, industry interest, territory, timeline, background, financing interest, and contact with written consent. A compliance-safe swipe matchmaker presents brands as "brands you picked get your info" — disclosed advertising, never advice.
Fran walks candidates through the quiz, scores them, and routes each one into the right tier. For the Hot tier, she calls within minutes to confirm genuine interest, capital band, timeline, and territory fit — then books the intro call with the brand's development team.
Three transparent tiers, sold to franchisor development teams — and, if Mike approves, to broker networks too. Every lead arrives with consent, capital band, and territory attached, delivered by webhook straight into the buyer's CRM.
Franchise lead generation sits inside the most actively enforced consumer-protection zone in franchising. The FTC's message is unmistakable: Xponential Fitness — $17M record Franchise Rule settlement. Amway — $225M earnings-claims settlement. California's broker pre-sale disclosure law, live since July 2026.
So this gate is non-negotiable: franchise-attorney + TCPA-counsel review is required before the first paid lead sale. No exceptions, no soft launches.
She's the reason a Hot lead is worth $500–1,000: a real conversation, verified intent, and a booked intro — while the candidate is still thinking about it.
Proposed starting bands — a fraction of what a closed deal costs a brand to acquire ($9k–35k per signed franchisee; brokers average ~$30k per placement). Per-lead pricing only, never success fees.
Completed quiz, valid phone, territory-fit. Volume for development teams that work the top of the funnel.
One brand or one broker. Financial band confirmed before delivery. Fewer, better conversations.

Strategy stays yours. These are the decisions that set the build:
Buyer wedge: marketplace first, or lead with private mode — one franchisor's dedicated funnel?
Pricing bands: approve $75–150 / $200–400 / $500–1,000, or set your own before any buyer conversation?
Broker buyers: sell Hot-tier intros to broker networks too, or keep it franchisor-only?
Name: "Franchise Pro" is the working title — keep it, or rename before anything public?
Legal budget: franchise-attorney + TCPA-counsel review before the first lead sale — greenlight the spend?
Geography: national from day one, or seed one region first?
Exclusivity mechanics: one brand per territory, or one brand per candidate?
Capital-band honesty: publish minimum-investment filters from brands' public data to auto-disqualify under-capitalized buyers?
Choose marketplace or private mode, answer the 8 calls, and greenlight the legal gate — the build starts at Phase 1: funnel, scoring, and delivery wiring. Then you go through your standard onboarding: your private content universe plus your Business Hub OS portal.
