Brian is very knowledgable, has fantastic people, lawyers, marketing, branding people that come in to talk to us and I would thoroughly recommeded this two day seminar to anyone who's concerning going into franchising.
He has so much experience, and can really make what can feel like a scary decision sometimes, into a comfortable and enjoyable experience!
HI, I’m Dr. Cameron Hopkins, I’m a chiropractor in Sydney with 2 chiropractic practices.
And I just want people to know, who’s listening to this, that I started using Brian with his systems on how to simply franchise around 8 months ago And it’s been amazing, the transformation, what’s happened within my practice now that we’re looking to franchise this system.
I must say that Brian and his team are very professional in their approach, extremely helpful and always there if anyone needs them. As business owners, it’s important to have the right team on board and using Brian to help franchise my chiropractic system, has been a godsend. Using Brian as my mentor and coach has been the best move we’ve ever made. I’ve always talked about finding someone or using someone, and like most of us, it’s hard to trust and find the right person. Well I came across Brian at the Sydney expo and straightaway found him to be very helpful and extremely informative. So I’ve been using his services now for 8 months and if anyone out there is looking to start franchising, or just needs Brian as a coach or mentor, highly recommend him. He’s very skilled, knowledgeable in the franchise system and has a world of experience.
I just want to say having just finished this workshop with Brian Keen for the weekend that I can honestly say that in the last weekend, I’ve learned more about franchising than what I’ve ever known all my life.
I simply wasn’t able to find anyone of Brian’s caliber and his team, his list of accountants and so on, the people that he’s put together to help us at such a very affordable and manageable rate. I would encourage anyone that’s considering franchising as a business model. You simply have to talk to Brian. He’s the man!
We went to Brian Keen’s franchising workshop, found it informative. We then signed up with Brian to do his franchise mentoring program and we’re finding it really easy to follow. Not having to put in as much work as I have thought and Brian’s been fantastic helping us out along the way. It’s been excellent. Now we highly recommend it for anybody. It’s been great!
I went eventually in for the big package because what I was paying Brian included the legals and included he said templates and documents and things like that.
The information in there, the knowledge that I gained in the first week of paying him was probably more than I thought…was double what I knew and didn’t know, if you know what I mean. There’s just information there which blew me away.
We started our journey with Franchise Simply for two reasons. One was to simplify and systemize our business with a view to expansion through franchising.
We have just done phase one and have been looking at a lot of our systems to see how we are running things and are really excited about improving all these as our business will run better as well as our franchises
We started only about four weeks ago and worked through the first module. We set a lot of time aside from all the other activities we were doing just simply to get this process done. And will keep doing that to keep moving forward.
It has been much easier than we expected. There has been a lot of education along the way. We thought it would be a tricky process but it has been quite simple.

We met Brian about a year ago at the Franchise Expo and it was a real turning point for us. We had been in business for about 12 years and Sandra had always had the desire to franchise the business.
Since then, we signed on our second franchisee this month and we have the third one in the pipeline. And so, we just want to say if you are thinking of franchising your business or moving in that direction, Brian is the man to see, he is the guru, the one with all the answers, he has the systems and it is well worth the time worth and effort to attend done of his workshops and just look at the opportunity and see how he can help you because he certainly helped us enormously to take the business to the next level.
Sandra
His team of specialists – banding, accounting, digital systems, territories and so on – have all been excellent, all have been helpful, no question too simple or too hard. You don’t feel like you don’t know what you are doing. Business is a journey and everyone is on that journey to success. You just need to learn from other people who are experts in their field, take on their advice and actually do what they say.
Each part of that jigsaw puzzle has been worth investigating. We have grown 100% this year. So from 12 months last August when we to the Melbourne Franchise Expo it was just a dream, it didn’t have any legs and then we went to the two day Workshop where we decided to sign up to one of the programs.
We were 80% there but we realised how much we hadn’t done and so we started the process.
It’s very exciting. If we can do it anyone can
And just like Bill Gates we started in our garage
So, it is a lot of hard work. We are not saying it is going to be an easy road. It will certainly cost you in resources, time and effort but in the end it is well worth it.
I’ve really enjoyed the Workshop so thank you.
It has been so informative and well run with great structure so you knew what was coming up
I was really impressed with your professionalism and the way you could communicate down to the finite details. And the way you put yourselves into the dynamic of so many different businesses is really a huge benefit to everyone in the room.
Your relationships with so many other professional people and the stature they hold in their own facets of business is also definitely beneficial to the system you are putting together to make this soAr much easier rather than so overwhelming.
People can see that it is going to be achievable.
I was lucky to come across Brian K from Franchise Simply at a Franchise Expo here in Sydney about three years ago now.
I was looking at a new way to interact with our customers. I wanted a more intensive customer service experience for our customers so we tried to find something new and we thought franchising would be the answer to that. Previously we employed and we were finding it difficult to get our employees to engage with our customers the same way we would as business owners. So, we decided to divide our business into two sectors, which was large commercial and domestic work.
We weren’t really sure where to start and so, when we saw Brian at the Expo we went to him and asked some questions and that peaked our curiosity.
We went to a Workshop on the Gold Coast which was a nice get away for us. At the Workshop we spent some time looking at our business, looking at whether it was suitable and going from there.
Where are we now?
We are 3 years down the track. We are on a slow burn and are not in a hurry. We have three franchisees and just heading to put on our fourth franchise. We are here at the Expo looking to find another two, maybe three, spending a lot of time focusing on the right franchisee and being careful investing in our brand and looking for our recruits as also investing in our brand.
So, if you are looking for a place to start your business or place to take your franchise concept from a kernel to something that is a bit more developed, I’d like to recommend that you look at Franchise Simply. Go to speak with Brian and take it from there.
I've walked away with now with a much better insight into the whole process. I'm fully prepared to look at taking the business to the next level. If you're looking to franchising your business or take your business to the next level, I highly recommend this workshop.
I had an initial confidential discussion with him, and Brian agreed to help me, turn my idea into a franchise. And that's when I was subscribed to the How to Franchise Simply Program.
It was a worthwhile exercise in terms of providing me with the clarity and direction I really needed. If you're connsidering franchising your business, I would strongly recommend talking to Brian Keen, getting more information on his How to Franchise Simply program and attending his How to Franchise Simply workshop.
You can franchise your business without breaking the bank.
Go – if you want to know about franchising you’d be mad not to.
I've come up for information session over the three days and we found out that really informative. It's probably gonna (0:14 to 0:15 unclear) we have to take it to the next step and again we look forward to working with Brian at some stage in the future to take this further.
Hi my name is Catherine Palin-Brinkworth and for 20 years plus I’ve had information businesses helping organisations grow through the performance of their people. I was invited along to the franchising seminar with Brian Keen and I have to say I’d pretty much made up my mind that it wasn’t going to be off a lot of value – I was just interested. Well, after three days I’m blown away – Brian Keen knows what he’s talking about. And not only does he know his content, he is even more deeply an expert in helping you understand how you can take your content and turn it into the most valuable business possible. He really does know how to help you. I am blown away and very grateful I was able to get here this weekend.
I was looking to see if it is possible to franchise, I've definitely learned from this process that it is, and I look forward to working with Brian in the future on that possibility and inspiring me to doing that in the future.
Hi my name is Roz Williams and I’ve attended the weekend with Brian Keen’s How To Franchise Simply. I came not knowing a thing about franchising and I’m going away with a cabinet full of ideas. I’ve actually got some ideas I don’t know what to do with but I’ve come away with three ideas how to franchise is something I am already doing. It could be absolutely wonderful. I suggest anyone could come to this course and walk away with some wonderful ideas. Bring Brian and get some really good information — it’s been fantastic thank you.
Hi my name is Shirley McIllvenny and I’ve just been attending this three-day franchising workshop with Brian Keen.
