What a week at the FBR Summit in Austin!!! One of our favorite events of the year!

Thank you to Franchise Business Review for bringing together so many people focused on supporting franchisees. Clint & Josh always love getting to speak with the brand leaders on the challenges in their network and how we can help. Conversations like these are what move the industry forward.

We also shared the Franchise People Operations Insights 2026 report, the first industry report on how franchise brands support franchisees with hiring, retention, and people operations. Published by FBR in partnership with CareerPlug, it draws on a survey of dozens of franchise leaders: https://hubs.ly/Q04CWn550

A special shoutout to our friends at AC Inc. - Field Coach Experts. It’s always a highlight to spend time with others in the industry doing great work.

Already looking forward to the next one!

If you’re still building your holiday lighting crew, you don’t need to wait for experienced installers. Most employers hiring right now say no experience is required, and they train the right person.

What to screen for instead:
→ Comfortable working from ladders and roofs
→ Can lift 40 to 50+ pounds
→ Reliable transportation
→ Available for the full season, including January takedowns
→ Background in roofing, landscaping, construction, or another outdoor trade

With roughly 10 weeks to get installs done, a trained crew makes all the difference.
Find time with our team to get your crew staffed: https://hubs.ly/Q04BNwJC0

We enjoyed connecting with the United States Swim School Association (USSSA) at the 2026 conference this week in Orlando! From spending time with the Board of Directors to meeting swim school owners and staff from across the country, it was a great week.

We’re proud to support the Association’s work to strengthen the swim school industry, and the mission of Hope Floats, a nonprofit making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Building a great team and culture was a highlight of the education sessions, and we’re proud to play our part in making hiring easier for swim schools. US Swim School Association Hope Floats Foundation

Ever hired a cleaner who didn’t make it through their first month? You’re not alone!

Cleaning franchises averaged 211 applicants per hire last year, more than any other service industry we studied, but only 12% of interviews turned into hires. Getting people to apply is easy. Finding the ones who fit, and keeping them, takes a system.

Swipe for five ways cleaning owners are doing it, then find the full eight-step How to Hire guide on the CareerPlug blog.

A great week with the Primrose Schools community at EmpowerED: 2026 National Conference. One idea from the main stage stuck with Steve: schools with higher occupancy saw lower teacher turnover and longer tenure. Keeping great teachers is what our 90-day new hire workflow, manager check-ins, pulse surveys and retention dashboards are built to support. We connected with so many franchisees who are excited to build winning teams together. See you next year, Primrose friends!
