In this episode of Franchise Fuel: Smarter Growth, host Vern tackles one of the most overlooked issues in franchise marketing—wasting money on outdated lead generation tactics that no longer deliver results. With marketing budgets stretched and pressure to convert increasing, this episode unpacks how artificial intelligence is transforming the way franchise brands build and scale their sales pipelines. Listeners will learn why traditional media strategies are falling short, and how AI-powered solutions—like curated intent data, CRM and ad integration, and predictive audience modeling—are reducing costs while boosting lead quality and conversion. Vern breaks down the true value of leveraging over a decade of behavioral data and introduces Vetro Media’s lookalike audience network of over 25 million potential franchisees. The episode also includes a powerful message: don’t renew your marketing contracts blindly. Instead, consider a no-cost, third-party marketing audit to uncover hidden inefficiencies and new growth opportunities. If you're in franchise development or lead generation, this is your wake-up call to stop overspending and start building smarter. Tune in to learn how brands are modernizing their growth strategies and taking control of their marketing ROI with the power of AI.
