Financial Training
Delegate feedback from Financial Management Training sessions delivered across Western Cape and KZN.
This was definitely one of the best training sessions I have had to guide a franchise manager’s role and responsibility.
Brenda is by far the absolute best, it was the best training done — she is relatable, engaging, patient, skilled, humble and culturally aware beyond the ranks of any other individual and class we have ever had.
This was by far the BEST training session I attended in my 3 years at Famous Brands attending Training Sessions!
“I really enjoyed the recent workshop and found it very valuable. The practical case studies, open discussion sessions, and the opportunity to share experiences across regions were especially helpful and made the learning more relatable and engaging.”

“There were plenty of gold nuggets. Also, just the way that Russ presented really elevated the session, keeping everyone interested.”

“The WAXIT Franchisee Satisfaction Survey was an extremely valuable experience. Elana’s deep understanding of franchising, combined with thoughtfully designed questions and insightful analysis, gave us practical and actionable feedback on the health of our franchise network. Having an external franchise expert provide this level of objective, professional input is invaluable for understanding franchisee sentiment and strengthening the brand. I would highly recommend Elana to any franchisor.”
“Elana was commissioned to provide an expert report in an arbitration concerning franchised outlets. She was easily reachable and provided quality reporting at a fast pace. We would recommend her as an expert in franchising disputes.”
