Who is LTS LeaderBoard?

LTS LeaderBoard is a service company, a franchise company, an entertainment company, a technology company and a marketing company. It was founded in 1989 to revolutionize the way charity and corporate golf tournaments were scored. LTS LeaderBoard has created a scannable scorecard and accompanying proprietary software that solves all the scoring problems inherent with calculating tournament results and their often-complicated play formats. It is a system that does so quickly and with 100% accuracy.

Based in Canada, LTS LeaderBoard is an amazing international network of franchisees who deliver that service, not just to golf tournaments but to any event that can be enhanced by its multimedia software. Headed by company President Gerry Lev, the corporate office is a dynamic team of professionals with a combined 150 years’ experience in sales, marketing and franchising. It was Gerry’s foresight that led to sharing this unique business opportunity with others. He decided the company should begin to sell franchises, and to expand into events unrelated to golf.

His creation is a company that today services event organizers of all kinds, sells franchises to qualifying partners, entertains anyone attending these events with big-screen presentations designed to command everybody’s attention, writes its own software programs to drive the multimedia presentations and helps to market the products of sponsors whose contributions assist in raising money for charities.

LTS LeaderBoard is a company with a mission dedicated to maintaining its position with ongoing research, development and application of new technology. It is a company dedicated to becoming the standard against which others are measured by participants at all such events.

What is an LTS LeaderBoard Franchise?

A franchise is access to a system. LTS LeaderBoard is a system that enables franchise partners to help charitable event organizers maximize fundraising by giving sponsors more bang for their buck with enhanced, professional and multimedia exposure throughout the entire event process. It turns a one-day event into a year-long affair.

It is a system that takes the administration and presentation of events to a new level, enhancing the experience for the tournament golfer, increasing the value of exposure for sponsors and polishing the professional image of the organizer. It is a system that features a friendly, logical program originally written by golf professionals who wanted to set a new standard for scoring tournament golf by finding a better way.

It is a system that enables franchise partners to take control of their business lives by utilizing their strengths and defining their entrepreneurial desires. It is a system created to stamp LTS LeaderBoard as the brand of excellence in its field worldwide, with ongoing research and development dedicated to ensuring that stature.

Who should become an LTS Franchise Partner?

People who are highly motivated to be their own boss. People with a love and significant knowledge of golf, with a strong desire to succeed in what is a unique and unbelievable opportunity to service the golf business. People who are team players. People with proven sales and marketing skills. People with access to your local golf and/or business community. People with a positive, winning attitude and a willingness to build equity through innovation and hard work. People with a desire to help others in their community. People who want to be part of an exclusive group with an initial membership of only 400 franchise partners. Think about your local country club. How many members does it have - 500? Or 1,000? Or 2,500?

If most of those characteristics fit you, keep reading.

You should also be determined and results-driven, and motivated to follow the LTS LeaderBoard system and to contribute to the growth and development of the company worldwide. In this ever-changing world of technology, you should be eager to learn. It’s also ideal if you have good people skills, are willing to work long hours, and are willing to take risks.

This is an opportunity for people who want to be their own boss, who are knowledgeable in the world of golf and who want to help local charities.

Why should I buy a franchise?

Are you a victim of downsizing? Are you uncertain about future employment? Are you eager to find out what job security really means? If so, franchising could be for you.

There are more than 5,000 franchise companies globally and they represent approximately 70 business categories. To join them, you have to recognize an opportunity, acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses and have that entrepreneurial drive. If that’s you, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!

Starting any business is risky but starting yours within the framework of a franchise system greatly reduces your risk, because this framework provides many of the building blocks for success:

  • Business Strategy
  • Reduced Risk
  • Proven Systems
  • Predictability
  • Market Share
  • Online Resources

By the way, job security really means your ability to provide something of value. With a franchise, you can do that “working for yourself.” Are you ready to take control of your own destiny? If you want the entrepreneurial freedom that comes with it, think seriously about franchising. Investigate franchise opportunities that allow you to apply your strengths while catering to your goals and desired lifestyle. Thousands before you have had the same thoughts on the way to becoming successful franchisees.

If you like the idea of partnering with a proven brand that has a business method based on years of experience, proven systems and continuous training, check out franchising. You won’t have to re-invent the wheel. That’s what franchising is all about. It’s a simple strategy that works. A group of independent business people build and share a “brand”, a “business method”, “marketing” and a “distribution system.” Their common goal is to attract, service and retain customers, and this gives them the tools they need to succeed.

The franchisor will demonstrate the viability of the business over a number of years and in a number of locations and markets. The franchisor supplies the business method, a trademarked and/or registered brand, marketing and distribution methods, initial training and ongoing support and programs. You supply the capital, management talent, local knowledge and the energy and enthusiasm to follow a system that works. 

With many people building and sharing the brand, their common purpose is to be dominant in their market. They are all using the same proven operating system. Consequently, the foundation for success has been built -- for all. When you buy a franchise, you buy the operating and management experience and expertise of the franchisor, and put it to work for YOU.

What kind of support do I get?

LTS LeaderBoard is available 24/7 to provide overall support of its franchise network, and seasoned franchisees also will help support new partners.

Do I need a sales or franchising background?

No. Franchising is about people, not tools. This is a people business –- their professionalism, their background, their passion and their determination.

While that kind of sales or franchising experience always helps, what you really need is a strong business background and a sound understanding of business principles, to go with what you already have — that entrepreneurial spirit, positive attitude, and the drive and motivation that has brought you this far!

What clients will I target?

Anybody with an event that they’d like to make better. It’s hard to imagine there is any event that would not benefit in some way from LTS LeaderBoard. It starts with charity and corporate golf tournaments and the people who run them, but it could also include golf courses that host tournaments and want LeaderBoard’s professional touch.

Outside of the golf industry, LTS LeaderBoard will be an asset to events like auctions, competitions of almost any kind, seminars, corporate functions, black-tie dinners, mini golf…just about any event where participants like to see their photos on a big screen, where sponsors like to get more recognition and where organizers want to keep everyone happy.

What are the keys to my success?

The ability to recognize an opportunity, a knowledge of your own strengths and weaknesses and the entrepreneurial drive to achieve your goals will allow you to cross over that line to reap the rewards of real success.

If you are serious about pursuing your goals, you will already know your own strengths and weaknesses and you are confident about your drive to succeed. In no particular order, you must:

  1. Know your market area and having an accurate assessment of the number of potential events you can enhance.
  2. Be motivated to succeed at running your own business
  3. Build exceptional client relationships by doing business the “LeaderBoard Way” before, during and after the event
  4. Be eager to learn and to have a desire to help others
  5. Be willing to work the hours necessary to build the relationships and the business
