			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-139" style="margin: 10px;" title="2007-Jim-Penman" src="http://www.franchisebuzz.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2007-Jim-Penman.jpg" alt="2007-Jim-Penman" width="200" height="200" />One of Australia&#8217;s most popular names in franchising, Jim Penman (founder of <a href="http://www.franchisebuzz.com.au/franchise-opportunity/jims-franchise-a-franchise-success-story/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">Jim&#8217;s Franchise Group</a>) has come under fire from his franchisees due to a recent introduction of a &#8216;minimum fee&#8217; which could have as much as doubled the amount that franchisee&#8217;s paid the <strong>Jim&#8217;s Franchise</strong> head office.</p>
<p>Jim Penman is now ready to fight to retain his position as head of Jims Group if any attempts to remove him do arise.</p>
<p>Jumping onto the front foot, he is ready to conduct a referendum of his own to ascertain the support he has, as head of the company. This comes after a ballot&#8217;s result has found that 89% of franchisers wanted him out, while 81% supported a class action for breach of contract.</p>
<p>Jim however, questioned the size of the vote, claiming only 9 of of about 240 franchisers had voted. He also predicted that if he was to run his own referendum, there was be about 70% support for him to stay.</p>
<p>If the franchisers are successful in having Jim removed from the <a href="http://www.franchisebuzz.com.au/franchise-opportunity/jims-franchise-a-franchise-success-story/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">Jim&#8217;s Franchise</a> Group, Jim has said that he will sell his stake in the company &#8211; but he will not go down easily.<!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jim Penman is an Australian franchising icon. Having launched Jims Mowing in 1989, since then He has built the Jims Franchise to over 2,750 franchisees in 28 divisions.This is an amazing result for a man that still drives his old Volvo station wagon.</p>
<p>Built on service, the <strong>Jim&#8217;s Franchise</strong> has grown from Jim&#8217;s commitment to listening to his franchisees. In fact Jim has set a standard when it comes to the handling of his franchisees and his willingness to try new franchise ideas.<span id="more-76"></span></p>
<h2>Jim&#8217;s Franchise | New Divisions</h2>
<p>The way that the Jims franchise has grown is from introducing new divisions to the Jim&#8217;s Group. Starting with Jim&#8217;s Mowing, each new division was introduced when a franchisee came to Jim with an idea for a new service. Jim would then allow that franchisee to create a Jim&#8217;s divisions to test out the idea &#8211; and if it worked, then it would become one of the Jim&#8217;s franchise opportunities.</p>
<h2>Franchisee Marketing</h2>
<p>Jim&#8217;s is in a highly desired position when it comes to being able to provide marketing for their franchisees. Having turned down more than 66,000 customer enquiries in 2008, the claim that new Jim&#8217;s franchise owners are flat out from the start. Being able to offer leads to new franchisees is an amazing asset to the gaining of new franchisees.</p>
<h2>Franchisee Support</h2>
<p>This is definitely another area where the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jim&#8217;s Franchise</span> stands out. How many major franchisers will give you the phone number and email address of their founder and managing director? WITH the instruction to call whenever you need too. This is just the type of personal service and support that Jim Penman has build the Jims Group on.</p>
<p><em>If you are looking for a franchise that provides it&#8217;s franchisees with quality business leads to start making money from day one, and personal support to help you face any problems that you may face, then a </em><em><strong>Jim&#8217;s Franchise</strong> might be just what you are looking for. However make sure you look into the <a href="http://www.franchisebuzz.com.au/franchising-information/franchise-costs-what-is-really-involved/#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">franchise costs</a> to see if they are something that you are able to manage.</em><!-- pingbacker_start --><br />
