[01] The Audience
2.9M+ operator contacts. Two very different buyers, one label.
Franchise and multi-unit outreach splits into two audiences that get lumped together on every generic list: corporate franchise development teams recruiting new operators, and existing multi-unit operator groups buying tools and vendors for the units they already run. Ken qualifies each account against your ICP with AI and personalizes every email around unit count and role, on top of 2.9M+ restaurant and retail operator contacts, so you can target either audience precisely instead of blasting both with the same pitch.

[02] Buying Signals
Signals Ken Can Actually Act On
Franchise buying doesn't wait for a sales calendar. Ken acts on real engagement and scores real fit.
Multi-click intent on franchise disclosure and unit economics pages
An operator who clicks your deck or pricing link more than once is showing real interest. Ken flags it and can fire the next touch automatically or route the reply to you.
Re-engage quiet franchise buyers
A franchise director who engaged and then went quiet gets picked back up. Ken watches for clicks that stop and re-approaches with a different angle before the thread goes cold.
Sort Franchise & Multi-Unit replies the moment they land
Every reply is classified the moment it lands - interested, not interested, or out of office - and routed or handled automatically, so real conversations reach you and the noise does not.
Qualified to Unit Count and Model
'Franchise brand with 50-500 units currently awarding new franchises' or 'multi-unit operator with 5+ QSR locations' isn't a dropdown filter anywhere else. Ken's AI reads each company's site and scores it against your exact criteria.
[03] Why Ken
Built for a two-sided sale
AI QUALIFICATION
Split franchisors from operators automatically.
“Franchise brand with 50-500 units in active growth mode” or “multi-unit operator with 5+ locations in QSR.” Ken's AI reads each company's site and location footprint and scores it against your ICP, not a single generic “restaurants” tag.
SEGMENTATION
Run separate sequences for corporate and operators.
A franchise development director and an individual multi-unit operator buy on completely different timelines and criteria. Ken segments your list so each group gets messaging built for how it actually decides.
TRIPLE VERIFICATION
Verify addresses across a fragmented universe.
Franchise contacts range from Fortune 500 corporate teams to single-owner operator groups with minimal digital footprint and personal email domains. Ken verifies every address three times, filtering out 65% of risky or invalid contacts before you send.
