The next generation of Sandler franchise owners is already making its mark.
This week, two rising franchise leaders, Jason Stephens and Cordae Mattson led marketing webinars for franchisees and their teams across the network. Both are helping grow their family’s Sandler businesses while bringing their own expertise and perspective to the table.
They shared how they’re using AI to create better content and make their marketing more efficient.
Both sessions were well-attended and even better received, but what stood out was seeing them bring new skills and ideas into their family businesses, then share that knowledge with other owners across the Sandler network.
That’s a big part of what makes a strong franchise community work.
Franchisees are building their own businesses, but they’re also willing to share what they learn and help other owners get better.
And when the next generation chooses to become part of that community and contribute to it, I think that says something about what has been built.
Fun fact: The marketing enablement webinar was facilitated by Megan MacKeigan, who is also second-generation Sandler. Before joining the Sandler corporate marketing team, Megan helped her parents grow their Sandler franchise, so she brings firsthand franchise experience to her role.
