“Thank you Rick! You are hands-down one of the top resources for anyone interested in looking at franchising as a business opportunity. You wrote the book on the subject … literally. Your books The Educated Franchisee and the associated The Franchisee Workbook really helped us understand the franchise business model and are excellent resources for anyone looking at franchise opportunities. You were always a true pleasure to deal with and are undeniably one of the best franchise consultants out there. Knowledgeable and well respected by everyone in the business we spoke with, you were able to guide us through every step of the process, starting with the big hurdle of identifying appropriate franchise opportunities. You were never pushy, but were always organized, helpful and a super coach. We would recommend (and have recommended) you to anyone interested in exploring the world of franchising; they couldn’t have a better guide than you.” Constantine & Carolyn – New Jersey

“Just a note to let you know what a pleasure it has been working with you. The VP of Franchise Development for one of the companies you introduced me to said that you were recognized as the best in your field and I have no doubt that it is true.  Your expertise not only in franchising but also in the process to determine the types of franchises that would be a good fit for me has been a tremendous asset to my search.” “Your professionalism and thoroughness are also equally appreciated.  Happy to be a reference for anyone considering your services. Here is to much success going forward”. Fred – Maine

“I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom on franchise ownership. After 30+ years of working in corporate America — I felt that I had no other choice but to continue down that path; however, after attending your workshop I have never been so inspired and excited about the possibilities of franchising.” “Thanks so much for meeting with my wife and I personally. Your assessment of our two different personalities was right on target. I enjoyed how you streamlined the “franchise battle” for us with your great book and all your patience. We truly are two tough personalities to deal with, but you nailed us in your coaching and counseling. You never gave us the answer to the franchise quiz, but you gave us all the insight to make an informed decision.” “Rick, YOU ARE THE BEST! And we are blessed to have met you.” Charles & Alice – Florida
