When was the last time that a brand rewarded you for having a positive experience? For Tom Epstein and POLN8, the sister organization of Franchise Payments Network, this incentivization is crucial; especially in a year when brand loyalty can be the saving grace for some franchises facing financial turmoil.
On this episode of the podcast, we speak with Tom, founder and CEO of both Franchise Payments Network and POLN8, about how his team set about “reimagining what loyalty should be”, and why over-rewarding customers should be on every franchise’s to-do list for 2021.

From a laundry aggregator in 2015 to an international multi-brand network of franchises today, the Jeff journey defies the usual success story conventions we’ve come to expect.
In fact, the brand didn’t begin as a franchise at all, and was instead a tech company – something that Jeff franchisees are now benefitting from, with the group’s customer-focused software driving ongoing growth.
On this episode, we sit down with Eloi Gómez, founder and CEO of the Jeff brand, to learn more about the multiple verticals on offer to franchisees, the benefits that come with each of its four concepts, and how those benefits led to its most recent round of funding that raised $21m, and put U.S. development on the 2021 schedule.

Did you know that babies are born with a natural ability to hold their breath underwater? Or that in Turkey, babies are required to wear woolen socks when swimming to prevent a chill? Julie-ann James does, because she learned these tidbits and much, much more on her journey to founding and growing international infant swimming school, Aquababies.
On this episode of the podcast, we speak with Julie-ann about why she believes baby swimming schools remain a smart investment even during a pandemic, and how her brand-new consultancy, PABS Consulting, can help entrepreneurs to build their own brands within this buoyant industry.
