Very recently, one of our product architects posted a job opening on our site to find an additional engineer to add to our growing team (in a remote provider capacity).

Once he had narrowed the list down to just a few freelance provider candidates, he researched their work history in more detail, finally selecting a particular candidate in India largely based on an example of his work.

Don't Judge a Book, or an Online Franchise Inquiry by its Cover
Remember the old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover?" This is a good rule of thumb for sales inquiries generated for franchisors by online portals.

According to Mario Altiery, President and CEO of the Upside Group, and other franchise sales consulting and training professionals, it's not the quality of the leads, but how franchisors are handling those inquiries and communicating with prospects that perpetuates what has become a very inefficient sales process.
