Re: 50 States - All Franchisees of the U.S. Government - [quote="RussellWebb":1twrc65u]Is this common knowledge in the franchise arena?[/quote:1twrc65u] This is not common knowledge in the franchise industry. I don't even see it this way. I don't think it's a franchisee/franchisor relationship at all. By definition, a franchise is the agreement between 2 legally independent parties which gives: - a person the right to market a product/service using the trademark or tradename of another business (franchisor) - the franchisee the right to market a product/servuce using the operating methids of the franchisor - the franchisee the obligation to pay the franchisor fees for these rights - the franchisor the obligation to provide rights and support to franchisees. The first 2 points don't apply to the federal/state relationship. The last 2 do.
Re: Google Adsense - no visitors in 4 hours! - [quote="OmnivoreInk":22xccdap]and today no one's visited any of my sites at all in 4 hours??? I find that very difficult to believe. [/quote:22xccdap] To update, had 80 visitors between 5 and 6 pm...that's more like it... Nevertheless, that's 4 hours that have just disappeared and I don't really believe that no one looked at at least one page of my site in all that time.... Of course the internet in much of the Middle East seems to be down (and you can't tell me that wasn't sabotage... [i:22xccdap]three [/i:22xccdap]cables cut?) but I never got many visits from that area anyway. And there's snowstorms in the midwest.... but that means people should be stuck in their homes and surfing the web because they have nothing better to do... so still my hits should have been up, not absent! Ah, it's a mystery...
Re: English TV Programme - The example in the Apprentice was signing exclusive rights to a company that would ONLY have rights to sell there product even thou they didnt have permission and could generate more revenue from other companies - but to close the deal they guaranteed exclusive rights to a small company not looking at the bigger picture. Again on TV show, just wanted results but in a real life scenario could of worked a better deal for the longterm.
