People in the UK may have more Smart meetings available if the current plan to franchise Smart to treatment centers is successful. The marketing launch is still pending but the sales crew will be moving South to North in Great Britain, working their way slowly and hopefully getting signatures and closing deals for the initial 3 year licensing period.
The renewal rates for the franchises have not yet been set, but overall it appears to be a fantastic and potentially profitable effort.
When they finish the UK and begin to cover Spain and Germany on the next marketing wave, I plan to get on board and run a few of their sales crews, as I speak the languages. If the overrides are tasty enough.
Development of the franchise idea in the US may be difficult, as we have different restrictions for non-profit status, and paying out big commissions would be difficult there. But, it should be beau-ti-ful over here.
