At All Points, we take pride in the behind-the-scenes work that helps our clients show up in a way that matters. Whether it’s industry rankings, innovation awards or national honors, we see each one as an opportunity to spotlight the impact our clients are making, ensuring it’s recognized and celebrated. Here are a few examples:

Spherion has set the standard in staffing and recruiting as the most awarded staffing franchise in America, earning a spot on Forbes’ 2025 list of America’s Best Recruiting and Temporary Staffing Firms for the fifth consecutive year. The brand was also included in the Entrepreneur 500—a streak that now spans over a decade—and named a Top 10 Staffing Company to Work For in 2025 by the World Staffing Awards.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is the talk of the town with meaningful recognition across several key platforms, including being named the Fast Casual #1 Top 100 Mover & Shaker, making it one of only two brands to earn the top spot more than once. Additionally, it received the Restaurant Leadership Conference Pacesetter Award, the Learning Awards Innovation in Learning Silver Award and a finalist nod for EY Entrepreneur of the Year Greater Los Angeles.

We know that supporting clients in achieving these accolades doesn’t just honor past successes, it also builds momentum for what’s next. While we have our pulse on upcoming awards and rankings, if there are accolades that are important to you and you’d like us to pursue them, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

The current landscape may feel uncertain, and franchise prospect conversations might be slower or more cautious—but that doesn’t mean momentum is lost. In fact, this is a key time to lean in. We’re seeing that timely communication, especially phone calls paired with quick, casual texts, helps move prospects forward and build stronger connections.

Tone, timing and consistency are also crucial. Leading with value in email subject lines and messages, then following up with a call within 24–48 hours, boosts re-engagement—even with cooler leads. The takeaway: fast, friendly, and frequent outreach that feels authentic is helping us break through the noise and foster real conversations.

In today’s fast-paced environment, your brand’s reputation can be impacted in a moment. To meet the evolving needs of our clients, we’ve expanded our plans behind crisis communications to provide deeper, more specialized support when high-stakes issues arise.

Our enhanced crisis planning for you allows us to respond quickly, think strategically and manage more complex situations with the attention and care required. If a situation escalates to a Level 3 or Level 4 crisis, our new designated Crisis Response Team is equipped to guide messaging, stakeholder communication and media strategy with precision and calm.

Through the end of 2025, we will be offering this expanded level of PR at no additional charge to you. Beginning in 2026, we will be implementing this specialized team at a client-preferred rate. If you’d like to learn more about this service, please reach out directly to Jamie Izaks for additional details and next steps.

Make sure to let your Point People know if you'll be at any of the same events!
