What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees holding the Certified, Expert, or Legacy designations are eligible to join the Speaker's Bureau. This opportunity is not available to those with the Professional or Emeritus designations.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that initially joining the Speaker's Bureau is not an option, as all new Eos Worldwide Implementers start at the Professional tier. To gain access to the Speaker's Bureau, a franchisee must meet the requirements to advance to the Certified, Expert, or Legacy tiers. The criteria for these advancements are based on factors such as session implementation numbers, session ratings, and participation in quarterly community events (QCEs).
The Speaker's Bureau can be a valuable platform for Eos Worldwide franchisees to enhance their visibility, attract new clients, and establish themselves as thought leaders within the EOS community. However, it's important to note that maintaining eligibility for the Speaker's Bureau requires ongoing adherence to the criteria for the Certified, Expert, or Legacy designations. If an Implementer fails to meet these criteria, they may be downgraded to a lower tier and lose the ability to participate in the Speaker's Bureau.
This tiered system, with varying access to opportunities like the Speaker's Bureau, is a common practice in franchising. It incentivizes franchisees to achieve higher levels of performance and engagement within the franchise system. Prospective Eos Worldwide franchisees should carefully consider the requirements for each tier and the potential benefits of accessing opportunities like the Speaker's Bureau when developing their business plan.
