Strategic Franchise Development is proud to be featured in Business Management Review, where CEO Charles Dobyns discusses how emerging and mid-sized franchisors can achieve responsible, sustainable growth through proven systems and integrity-driven leadership.
The article, titled “Empowering Emerging Franchisors with Sustainable Growth Strategies,” highlights how SFD helps new and established franchise brands grow smarter—not just faster—by combining strategic sales outsourcing, operational insight, and ethical business practices.
A Smarter Way to Scale
As Business Management Review reports, Charles Dobyns and the SFD team recognize that growth without quality can harm a brand’s reputation. Their approach ensures franchisors maintain consistency, innovation, and profitability while expanding at scale.
“Our motto is one process for 14 brands, not 14 processes for 14 brands,” says Dobyns, reinforcing SFD’s commitment to structure, accountability, and long-term success.
Full-Service Franchise Support
For over a decade, SFD has guided franchisors through every stage of development — from lead generation and franchise sales to compliance, marketing, and training. Their comprehensive service portfolio helps new and mid-sized brands secure their first 100 to 125 units with responsible, rapid growth.
The firm’s expertise extends across key areas of franchising, including:
- Franchise Sales Outsourcing: Managing the entire sales cycle from qualification to close.
- Compliance & Legal Support: Assisting new franchisors in meeting legal requirements to sell franchises in the U.S.
- Marketing Collaboration: Partnering with leading media outlets and digital platforms to expand reach and awareness.
Responsible Growth Through Innovation
The feature also explores how SFD embraces technology and AI to streamline processes while keeping human connection at the heart of franchise sales. Dobyns cautions against over-automation, emphasizing that “people still buy from people,” and that success in franchising requires real relationships, not just digital efficiency.
A Legacy of Integrity and Excellence
Since its founding in 2012, Strategic Franchise Development has never faced mediation, arbitration, or litigation—a rare distinction in the franchise world. This track record reflects the company’s dedication to transparency, ethics, and protecting both franchisors and franchisees.
Today, SFD operates from its headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, with offices in Escazú, Costa Rica, and plans to open a new Southeast Asia hub in South Korea. Through these global expansions, the company continues to elevate franchisors worldwide with trusted systems, high-touch service, and a focus on lasting success.
