What people say
Where to begin? I woke up one day with an idea a few years ago of owning a business. I very casually over those few years talked with people and dabbled with some research on my own. Nothing ever came to fruition. Now here we are, “a few years later,” and Adam came into the picture. If it was not for Adam, I more likely than not, would still be dabbling into my own research and uneasy and unsure of what to do. He has been there for me like a friend would be there anytime I emailed him, texted him, or picked up the phone to cancel an appointment or change the time. He is flexible, inspirational, motivating, always so incredibly positive and upbeat, and just a Great person. I don’t ever feel pressured or like he is not being “real.” He wants me to realize my dreams and help me make them come true. Period. What a great guy to have on your side and in your corner. I couldn’t tell you how I came across Adam, (seriously I don’t remember, I called and filled out so many forms and looked up so many things online LOL) but I can tell you it for sure wasn’t an accident. Thank you, Adam! You truly make a difference in people’s lives, I wish there were more people like you in this world.
I didn't even know a Franchise Coach was a thing so if someone was planning on speaking to you they would already be ahead of me! I would tell them to be as open and honest as possible to give you the clearest picture to help make a good connection. It's worth a conversation even if you hadn't really considered a franchise... you might learn something. I went into our first conversation without any expectations, to be honest. I wasn't expecting it to amount to much. Once we got talking it felt like you sincerely wanted to learn about me and help me decide if the franchise path was one that could make sense for me and my family. I would certainly recommend your services because I'm a perfect example of the process of working. I went from not knowing it existed to purchasing a franchise that I'm very excited about 3 months later! The surprising part was that from a few conversations/interviews you were able to present me with options that each had my interest in and deserved the appropriate amount of time and research. Again, I may be different than others since I didn't seek out this path so I was especially surprised we quickly got to a place where there were tangible options for a new career. I certainly didn't expect that going into our first call.
Adam is a top expert on franchising. He connected my family with a concept I otherwise wouldn't consider. I highly recommend his free service to anyone considering to explore franchise business opportunities.
I would tell them that your service is a good source for guidance into the Franchising world. It was time well spent. Adam had reviewed and recommended several franchises that he thought would be a good fit while taking the time to understand who I am.
I would highly recommend Adam’s services! Adam took the time to listen to me. We had conversations about what franchise concepts would best suit our family’s lifestyle and passions. He then turned this information into valuable recommendations. Adam provided consistent communication and a positive attitude without any pressure. I would highly recommend Adam’s services! Adam took the time to listen to me. We had conversations about what franchise concepts would best suit our family’s lifestyle and passions. He then turned this information into valuable recommendations. He provided consistent communication and a positive attitude without any pressure.
Adam provided answers to all my questions and answered all the questions I didn’t know to ask. I was able to come to my own educated conclusions without being pressured. FranchiseCoach did a fantastic job focusing my interests and desires on some suitable franchise options. They were very thorough and deliberate. With over 4000 franchises out there, I was shocked at how well they narrowed down the pool into options that were relevant to me.
The hands-on engagement and wealth of knowledge were invaluable. Adam was able to clearly evaluate what we were looking for, our risk tolerance, and our skillset to help us find concepts to investigate. Many of the concepts/industries were not on our “radar,” but were proposed by Adam for us to consider by being open-minded. His communication style is impeccable as he helped two novices become more familiar with franchises in general while also helping us to get connected to those we found appealing so we could commence our due diligence process. I would highly recommend Franchise Coach (and have) to anyone considering stepping into this intriguing space for new or seasoned entrepreneurs. The discussions with Adam were insightful and he provided guidance on a number of factors to consider that wasn’t top of mind for us. His desire to make sure we were equipped to make sound judgments/assessments of the opportunities was great and he never pressured us into making a selection. We constantly talked about options and his ability to turn on a dime was great. When my business partner and I opted to pause our joint search, I chose to move forward independently, and Adam dove right in to help to find new concepts to evaluate. His expertise was invaluable and I’ll definitely use him again. The biggest surprise for me was two-fold: The sheer volume of options available in franchise space and Adam’s focus on helping me to find the right fit versus simply finding a franchise to be involved in and potentially be a dissatisfied owner. I felt he was equally concerned about the fit and that altered how we approached concepts and our discussions. The level of customer service is top-notch and genuinely left nothing to be desired. Adam covered all of the bases.
In my situation, I always wanted to be a business owner, but in my prior fields the cost of entry or other considerations meant that I was not in a position to pursue opening a business in those spaces. Therefore, I thought I couldn’t open a business and was stuck trying to find another job. I will always be thankful to Adam for approaching me about the opportunity and showing me that my skills could apply to businesses in many spaces. Not only that, he found me a number of diverse opportunities that he thought were fits and set me up with them. As I was looking at those opportunities, he coached me on the proper questions to ask to qualify the opportunity and narrow down my choices. In the end, I believe we found the perfect fit in a space that I would never have thought of on my own. Adam has not only the experience of being a franchise owner, but the knowledge of the available opportunities to help you find a great fit. He helps make the process as seamless as possible. Not only that, but he has resources to help you find financing and get your business started. Even after you have decided and launched your business, he is willing to help mentor you and wants you to be successful. Honestly, I did not know businesses like this existed. When I was first approached by many of the companies on LinkedIn, I figured they were like “executive search coaches” or “resume writers” where you pay a large expense for little or no results. I was surprised that as a candidate, you do not pay for the service. Once I agreed and we had our initial meeting, I was impressed with the number of opportunities that Adam had access to and his ability to narrow them down to four where we both thought I would be a great fit.
Adam is very thorough and thoughtful in his approach. He took the time to understand our objectives, interests, personal and professional journey and drivers to help develop a shortlist of franchises. He is diligent in his work with constant follow-ups without ever being pushy or too salesy. And all the franchise partners had really good things to say about Adam. Because they do all the leg work for you to help you invest time only in franchises that align with your personal, professional and financial goals. Not sure if it was the business or Adam’s style, but we were concerned that a Franchise Consultant could be too pushy or salesy, but Adam turned out to be completely opposite. I sincerely thank you for all your help. If we decide to move forward, you will be the first to know.
Definitely call FranchiseCoach. They have a team of experts that will take the time to answer your questions and most importantly, show you the great franchise options quickly without having to do endless searches online. The franchising process is a difficult market to navigate if you don’t have experience in franchising. There are many franchises out there and it takes an expert to help weed out the bad ones and narrow your search to the good ones. They will take the time to walk you through the process and take away all the uncertainty. FranchiseCoach is a team of experts with vetted franchises and relationships to get you successfully through the process. Within a week I had 4-5 great franchises that all were contenders. Again they take the time to get to know you and ask the right questions to get you in front of the right people.
Adam Goldman helped make things very simple to understand regarding making franchise purchase decisions. He was thorough, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He helped me make the right decisions from their proven process of investigation and inquiry. What I loved most was the process. The process Adam gave me helped define and identify the best franchise options for us.
If you know you want to start a business but a little unsure about what that business should be, FranchiseCoach can certainly help you find viable options. FranchiseCoach is a great way to help you explore various options that you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. They do a good job of investigating who you are and how to find options that may appeal to you. In addition to being able to match opportunities with my personality and past experience, they also provided some “outside the box” options that actually were appealing and worth considering.
If you ever wanted to know if you even could own your own business, getting help from Adam is a great place to start. He will ask you questions to ensure you are best matched with a business that you will be excited to own and can care about as a passion and purpose-not just another place to work. His experience and knowledge will put your mind at ease as you consider a life-changing decision. Adam/FranchiseCoach did not push or steer but truly provided guidance, understanding and genuine concern for the best outcome for both our family and the franchisor because he understands that only if there is a proper fit and benefit to both parties will the outcome of that partnership yield success. Adam has access to key information he can share with you regarding each franchise you consider to help you ensure you are going down the right path financially and experientially. I was very impressed with Adam’s willingness to support a small/new business owner like myself who was not able to buy a large restaurant or famous storefront. He was most interested in making the best match for our family and was supportive to the very end of the process and remains in touch with us to this day.
Adam and team do an excellent job matching you with the best Franchise concepts that are aligned with your passion and interests. Adam does a great job of listening to you and has knack for asking questions that makes you really think deeply about what motivates you and what excites you to do your best every day. It is important to know these things before one can decide what type of busienss to own. I had not idea there at 4,000 to 5,000 franchise concetps all around us! You need someone to guide you to find the best concept that meets your passion and interests.
You should absolutely use Adam. He helps to make the process less scary and provides a great deal of guidance as he walks you through the process. Adam is easy to work with and is knowledgeable and trustworthy. I was especially impressed with the thoroughness of the questions asked. It’s not as simple as Adam just shoving some franchises that may or may not work. He puts a great deal of thought, energy, and effort into choosing the right franchise system that works for you, not just financially, but culturally and philosophically.
Franchise Coach, and specifically Adam Goldman are knowledgeable and trustworthy. Their process for understanding your needs and goals significantly speeds up the evaluation process. Through Adam I was able to discover franchises that I did not know existed, and probably could not have found without his help. The process is also very organized and helps guide a newbie through uncharted waters effectively and efficiently. The primary reason you should consider using Franchise Coach is a combination of breath and depth of experience in the franchise world. Why try to learn something radically new on your own without guidance? The breadth of offerings that actually met my criteria. I could have never found them on my own.
Whether you are familiar with franchise operations or not, using the services of FranchiseCoach helps you understand the possibilities. I was exposed to industries that I didn’t even know existed under a franchise format. Not all franchises are the same, and having a coach guide you in selecting a match based on your personal preferences is invaluable. A main benefit of using FranchiseCoach is that you receive personal guidance from a dedicated coach. I enjoyed the weekly check-ins because they kept me on track during the research and discovery process and also because I developed a professional relationship with coach who took the time to listen to my needs in looking for an investment. I did not know that services from franchise coaches were available. I was pleasantly surprised when my nephew introduced me to Adam Goldman from FranchiseCoach. Prior to the introduction, I was searching for a franchise on my own, and frankly, I did not know what I was looking for. Working with Adam has been an absolutely pleasant experience because he is professional, always prepared with information that I need timely, and challenges me to venture out of my comfort zone without being pushy.
Absolutely use FranchiseCoach. They do most of the homework for you by laying out great brands to consider. Half of the due diligence is done when you have presented brands. FranchiseCoach consists of great people who honestly care about my success. Adam helped me decide on a brand and continues to follow up months after my business is up and running. Adam continues to impress me by the amount of effort he put into helping me find a good brand and his continued follow-up.
FranchiseCoach was very helpful in guiding me through my franchise journey. Adam helped me explore what businesses may or may not be a good fit for me. He helped me coalesce my thoughts and brought different perspectives to the decision-making process. Adam did more than just throw a list of potential franchises at me. He has the tools and process to help you define objectives then find a number of franchises that will help you meet those goals I was pleasantly surprised how quick and easy the process was.
Great attention to detail. Personality tests and lifestyle preferences help them hone down the type of franchise you will be interested in. One-on-one, personal service. Answered all of my questions and concerns. Easy to communicate The knowledge of the franchise process and determination to find a franchise that fits my financial objectives.
For those with little to mid-level experience with franchises, FranchiseCoach is the best way to learn and be exposed to all the different ways to get involved and learn before fully committing. The experience, guidance and connections cannot be easily replaced. I was surprised by the breadth of the portfolio of franchises.
You are certainly very thorough and professional in your services. The fact that you take the time to understand the position of your customer without pushing for franchises makes people feel very comfortable. Your professionalism. The fact that you have a huge portfolio of franchise options in multiple industries .
Adam and team do an excellent job matching you with the best Franchise concepts that are aligned with your passion and interests. Adam does a great job of listening to you and has knack for asking questions that makes you really think deeply about what motivates you and what excites you to do your best every day. It is important to know these things before one can decide what type of businesses to own. What surprised me the most about this process is that there at 4,000 to 5,000 franchise concepts all around us! You need someone to guide you to find the best concept that meets your passion and interests.
I would say that you listen well to the interests of the potential franchise owner and selected suitable opportunities to meet their needs. Informative combination of video, literature, and franchise-specific contacts to educate you on the businesses. Very supportive team and how quick it was to set up ownership of a franchise.
That you are very thorough. Your process for matching potential franchisees to franchisors is based on a deep dive conversation where you get to know the potential franchisee (goals, desired work environment, ultimately exit strategy, etc.). Adam Goldman is sincere in his desire to create successful connections. There is no pressure, just genuine interest and advocacy. That it was not high pressure sales.
Go for it and have your life changed. Adam walks you through the franchise rules and evaluation process. Ultimately the decision of which franchise to go with or if it is even something for you, is your choice, but he guides you through the process. Unless you are very familiar with the rules and regulations governing franchising, you need someone to explain these to you. And even though there are rules and regulations, having someone with experience with franchising at your side is invaluable. After a getting to know you session with Adam, he was able to select 4 franchise options that were perfect for me. Then he walked me through evaluating them.
Adam and I met each other 4 years ago through the Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO). He was a franchisor running a successful chain of businesses in Texas and it was an honor to work alongside him and to learn from his extensive experience in all aspects of franchising. If you need help with franchising, you should reach out to Adam – he understands what it’s like to start and grow a successful business as an entrepreneur himself. It’s not often you find someone who’s been a franchisor, a franchisee, and also a franchise consultant. He’s a rare combination of many talents and abilities who sees things from all possible angles. He not only knows it, he’s done it. He’s one of the best franchise experts I’ve ever met who truly understands the needs of entrepreneurs who are looking to make a change in their career. He brings to the table a ton of great experience with hundreds of different franchise brands – he knows firsthand what some of the best opportunities are out there for people ready to scratch their “entrepreneur itch”. I’m lucky to know people as kind and knowledgable as Adam and look forward to all the great things he continues to accomplish in his impressive career.
I would tell a prospective client that they better be prepared to find their new business and not be messing around because of how accurately FranchiseCoach finds relatable businesses and helps the process get moving. The personal feel to the way you do business, does not feel like you are working with a client, but with a friend and advisor. How much more involved you were outside of just finding the business. That ended up being the smallest part. The advising and coaching were second to none.
Adam is helpful and responsive and will put you on the right path to franchise ownership. The guidance and knowledge of the franchise industry is great.I was surprised by the vast amount of opportunities available in the franchise world.
I would recommend Adam because he has a thought out process. My time was never wasted and he did not pressure me into anything. It was much easier than doing all that research on my own.
The overall experience is great as Adam takes great care in both educating prospects about his services and the opportunities available in the specific market of interest, and takes the time to listen to your desires so that carefully curated recommendations for franchise investment are delivered. FranchiseCoach distills all of the potential possibilities down to a handful of choices based upon time and money investment objectives. The human touch: expertise in delivering recommendations based upon my needs, desires, timeframe, and initial investment budget.
Adam is very well educated in this area and definitely can help you find exceptional business opportunities! Professionalism and continued support. Positive surprise- there are many more options that you think when considering a franchise!
Adam is about his business. He assisted our family in the franchise process leaving no stone unturned.
Adam is extremely professional, represent quality franchises, and have great follow-thru and communication skills.If someone is not sure of the industry or the brand they would like to align with, FranchiseCoach helps narrow the focus through the interview process, as well recommending possible partners who are an excellent fit, but we were unaware existed.How in-tune he is with those he represent. Adam is able to see the big picture and potential fit quickly and efficiently
I would tell someone that you connect people with business opportunities that they otherwise would not know exist. The main benefit was how streamlined and organized the search was. I was surprised by the variety of franchise options.
For those with little to mid-level experience with franchises, FranchiseCoach is the best way to learn and be exposed to all the different ways to get involved and learn before fully committing. The experience, guidance and connections cannot be easily replaced. I was surprised by the breadth of the portfolio of franchises.
Professionalism! This week goes to Adam Goldman. I recently went through the process of franchise exploration with Adams's help. I picked Adam from my network for this process for one reason, his professionalism. After going through the process I came to the conclusion that it was the right choice. From his discovery process, to follow up, to connecting me with resources and walking me through all of the pro's and con's he did an amazing job. When someone is making a life-changing decision such as franchising they need someone they can rely on and trust. Adam is the kind of person who truly rises to the occasion, has a passion to serve, and loves what he does. Adam, thank you for helping others achieve their goals and being so professional in the process!
Franchise brands trust Adam. He isn't pushy and follows up your progress nicely. I was surprised at how vast the range of investment levels are in the franchising world. Adam is very serious, practical and gives enough to his customers.
Adam, you have the experience of running a franchise and know how to help someone find the right franchise they want to lead. You understand the number of franchises available outside of the fast-food industry.
Adam will find the right fit for you and support you throughout your franchise search.
Your professional care and understanding for the person who you are offering your services. Your attention to detail and placing yourself in the customer's needs. And your excellent professional services with compassion and empathy for the customer.
Go right away and set up an appointment with Adam!
Adam was very professional. He introduced himself, told us what the process was, and held our hands through it all. I appreciated that he took his time to ask us questions about our background and interests.
From this information, he researched the opportunities out there and brought us back 3 Franchises that fit with what my wife and I were looking for. We talked through each one as he asked us pointed questions during our discovery to help us narrow the choice down to one.
I was surprised by how thorough Adam was with his initial questions. They were very detailed and thought-provoking. He also gave us excellent advice on what to expect during Discovery and The initial visit to the franchisee's home office.
Adam will take care of you!
Adam really listens to your why and presents franchise opportunities that resonate - and does so without pushing. he lets you find your way after he provides the options.
I was surprised at how fast the process went. It felt like one minute we were discussing our interests and the next we were signing with our new franchise. But we never felt rushed - we just got more excited as we learned more about the opportunities.
100% give Adam a listen and be open to what he shares. We were a bit curious but not really serious at the beginning, but once we found an opportunity that we really connected with, it made sense and we went for it. And Adam was the one who presented the opportunity to us based on him listening to our interest and objectives in our early meetings.
Your approach was focused on me and my interests, skills, and desires. You listened and shared a range of opportunities to consider, several less traditional.
During the initial discovery, it was nice to share with you what I was learning and in turn gather a greater perspective on my evolving selection criteria.
I guess that the experience you bring is of a previous franchisee. With that comes a clear empathy for the journey ahead and what it takes to be successful in the varied opportunities.
It wasn't about closing a deal but more like preparing a new business owner.
If they need someone patient, open-minded, and focused on the success of the outcome, then they found the right place.
Adam does a good job of listening and understanding your situation which allows him to line you up with franchises that fit your needs. The diversity of franchises available. Adam and his staff do a great job of leading you through the process. No surprises.
For the right person, franchising is an exciting, cookie-cutter way to achieve financial success without having to reinvent the wheel. For someone who has never ventured into these waters, they will need a coach to help them navigate and prepare for the different obstacles that exist. Adam is that guy and being from the industry, he knows these hurdles and can have you mentally prepared as you navigate the process. How many of them are available and how fast things can move if you're ready. Adam is a coach who takes the time to find the right opportunities that fit the needs of your situation. Adam has been professional and courteous at every stage on the road! Thank you, Adam!
Connecting with Adam has been a life-changing experience for us and our family. Adam has the unique and insightful ability to quickly understand what we were looking for in business ownership. Adam knew what made us tick and what sorts of franchise opportunities we would be passionate about. He listened, and in short order gave us several prospective opportunities to consider. He nailed it. Weeks later we were on the path to business ownership with an venture that will be ubiquitous and a household name within a year. Adam knows his business. He's lived it and been successful, and is eager to share. His excitement and enthusiasm is contagious, and the process is fun! He's connected: Adam knows the major players, and has insight into emerging opportunities. That's huge. He got us in on the ground floor of an amazing franchise, and we couldn't be more excited. Adam listens. This was SO important to us as both my wife/business partner and i had somewhat different goals. Adam navigated this deftly and brought us several exciting and viable options that suited both our goals. The turnkey approach. Adam treated us like we were family. We never felt rushed or pressured, but were always encouraged to take our time and work the process. This approach put us both at ease, and the end result is amazing. His ability to listen, and distill our thoughts into an actionable plan with incredible opportunities is amazing. If you'd ever even given consideration to taking control of your destiny and financial future through a franchise opportunity, FranchiseCoach is a MUST.
I would absolutely refer you to who ever is looking for a business/franchise. You have been nothing but supportive and very helpful. If anyone asks about you I would tell them that Adam goes out of his way to help you out. You have been very kind to me and I thank you for that.
Adam is knowledgeable and personable. He is well placed to provide the right kinds of guidance to help would-be franchisors succeed.
I would tell them to use your service to explore franchises.
You presented a type of business that I had not considered before. FranchiseCoach service provides insights to franchises and introduction to sources of funding information.
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the entire consulting engagement - I anticipated a highly pushy/salesy approach, fast talking and quickly directing me to potential franchise organizations with little to no consideration - what actually happened was 180 degrees different! You took the time to get to know me, understand my situation, were you patient, thoughtful, responsive and asked provocative questions that allowed me to think through franchise ownership in ways that I hadn't via my independent research. More importantly, you were true to your word, keeping our appointments, adhering to our meeting times and following up as we discussed and agreed. While I've opted not to pursue this path, I have learned a great deal and have tremendous respect for your organization and those you represent. Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Adam has franchise experience from multiple angles, including being a franchisee. That gives you credibility and objectivity, which we valued. His documentation/guidance was very valuable as we went through the process. One watch-out is some companies think of D-Day as Discovery Day, and some call it Decision Day. We weren’t prepared to make a decision when we went to our D-Day, so we should have managed the validation process more proactively instead of assuming what was given was all we could get. His relationships and knowledge of multiple different types of franchises, his questionnaire, and his eventual suggestion process was very efficient way for us to proceed and realize what we really wanted. I’m surprised you even exist. I had no idea there was a business for finding people to become Franchisees. Trust the process, trust the documentation. If it’s not playing out the way Adam has said it should, ask for help or take matters into your own hands.
He provided significant information and resources to engage opportunities. I was surprised the most by the amount of inventory. Read & watch the information that is provided by Adam.
I would recommend you because you provide insights about the Franchisee business that the average person does not have. You are able to quickly identify Franchise opportunities based on the person's strengths and likes. I was surprised by the amount of franchise opportunities that are available. Hearing that there are 200+ opportunities that you partner with was amazing to hear. I would tell them to really provide honest feedback about what they like/dislike. I appreciate that you understood what types of business opportunities I was open to. Plus, I would tell them to listen to all 3 options that you provide to them. For me it was great looking at each option and seeing the possibilities for each one.
Adam is very responsive and proactive in setting up sessions and meetings. Listening to feedback and adjusting recommended options accordingly. Connected to very strong franchise opportunities. Level of engagement and willingness to meet on a regular basis. Reach out, you have nothing to lose! Adam will ask you many questions that you may not have asked yourself, which will really help you narrow down the vast array of options into the best opportunities for your specific needs and interests.
Adam has a system, he follows it and it is set up to give the client as much information as they can process. Additionally, probing questions are asked along with follow up questions to uncover what the client is looking for and capable of handling. The follow up is strong. Most franchise consultants/coaches do not have a follow up system that benefits the client. Besides deep knowledge of the franchise industry, Adam is an excellent listener and note taker. These two qualities are very helpful in keeping the search focused and moving forward.
If you are considering franchising, call Adam. I have recommended your services to those who need help in narrowing down the options and making the right contacts. The variety of options available.
FranchiseCoach process is just that, a process of discovery, of insight and sharing of opportunities. The process was allowed to work. No pressure, no hard sale, but a real understanding and pursuit of discovery. It is a two way street. You are being considered as you consider yourself in a franchise. Be patient. Using the seven habits, seek first to understand, then be understood, there is a process here that all understand. Trying to skip steps at jump in for speed isn’t helpful.
You offer a speedy and efficient way for those interested in finding a new business to do so. You’re professional, prompt, direct, and get things done.
I was surprised at how quick and easy it was to learn all the information needed to be able to make a decision about the various franchise businesses you presented. I suspect that is because the Brand representatives you connected me with are all VERY GOOD at what they do.
I would strongly encourage them to work with you.
You do an excellent job of getting to understand the candidates' preferences as well as their goals and ambitions which allow you to make introductions to franchises that are excellent fits. The fact that you work with 200 different franchises. I have spoken with other recruiter/franchise consultants in the past and I would highly recommend your services. The main reason is because you have a good ability to match the candidate with great opportunities and you have a lot of relationships with a variety of businesses across the country.
I really appreciated your guidance in exploring the franchise world. You were thorough, patient and timely. You provided me with great feedback and options that fit my needs.
I would definitely refer someone to your services.
Adam has a no-pressure consultative approach to matching potential franchisees with a business that is a good fit for them. The sheer number of franchises is somewhat overwhelming, which makes having a guide more valuable.
He thinks fully through what your goals are and be very honest about those.
I found you very knowledgeable, personable, and respectful. You had direct experience in running a franchise with excellent insight into the process of starting with a franchisor. You were well-spoken and very pleasant to correspond with. You were well organized in the presentation of complex information in good ‘bite-sized’ chunks with a healthy respect for shared information and time. In the beginning, I had reservations about starting the process as I was skeptical about the need for exchanging personal information and its safeguard. I was later impressed with the nuance of the process including the initial recommendations and the discovery steps to include the FDD and owner access. So in the end, I was pleasantly surprised at how well-orchestrated the discovery process was for me. Kudos to you and your team. If you are investigating whether a franchise opportunity is the right fit for you, then Adam is an excellent one-stop shop to get your questions answered and start your journey.
I think that Adam brings together ideas on companies that I would have not considered looking at on my own. Having the additional context helps to frame a broader mindset of the possible. Furthermore, his professionalism is second to none. I enjoyed working with him quite a bit. Listen to Adam, keep an open mind, enjoy the ride.
Adam has a lot of connections to franchises and is very helpful with the process. And what surprised me the most was his access to franchises, financing, and support. He is great to work with!
For anyone new to the franchise world, Adam does a great job of guiding you through the process of evaluating franchises that would be a good fit for you and your family based on your personal preferences, skills, and life goals. I did not feel Adam was ever pressuring me to make decisions before I was ready or select any one franchise. It felt clear that he was passionate about imparting wisdom and providing great business options for me to consider. I can't imagine why someone who is interested in investing in franchises wouldn't consider leveraging Adam's wealth of knowledge. He can help bring to the table well-researched franchise business options that can get you started on your due diligence process. There is no obligation to move forward should you decide being a franchise owner isn't for you. He can also connect you with experts in small business financing should you need it.
If you are considering starting your own business through the purchase into a reputable franchise, I'd highly recommend using Adam Goldman at Franchise Consultant. Adam is professional in the way he works with you to find out what kinds of business you would not only be interested in, but also what you would excel at. It's a no pressure, very methodical approach, which I personally appreciated. Two things stood out: 1. No pressure; 2. Didn't rush through the process Investigating whether or not to buy into a franchise business can be a very difficult process. Using a professional consulting service to help you investigate all the options and issues you should consider is the best way to take a good hard look at all the issues, and points that need to be considered when making this type of life changing move. Adam was great at walking me through all the major points I needed to consider in purchasing into a franchise. Some points, I would have never considered if it weren't for Adam's direction. Purchasing into a franchise is a major decision, and Adam is someone I would highly recommend to consult with you.
I'd say that Adam listen well, comes up with options and provide a non biased opinion. The businesses themselves were varied and had a lot of ownership options, which is a great means of either getting into a desired industry if you have the background or the ability to look at it as owner only and what makes the most sense.
I would say look into it with an open mind and focus on the 'Why' not the 'What'.
I found it comforting to leverage others' experience and research. I didn't know brokers/coaches existed. It saves time and frustration by working with a coach who can understand you and present pre-vetted options for your review/research.
Absolutely! It was an overall great experience. Yes, FranchiseCoach will take the time to understand your values, culture, goals, etc., and pair you with franchises accordingly.
Extremely easy and straightforward process!
I have friends whom I will be referring them in the future.
Adam is a professional in this industry. He has a very solid, time-tested method for taking the interests and aspirations of prospective franchisees and matching them with a vast network of Franchise Companies. Adam is experienced and well-connected in the industry resulting in a thoughtful presentation of companies to evaluate. He provided me with high quality connections to great representatives from excellent franchise companies - all were incredibly professional and helped me in my decision making process.
A few things positively surprised me. First, the thoughtful questions and approach Adam followed in learning about my interests, skills, experience, and aspirations. Second, the very large database of potential Franchises that Adam was able to present opportunities from. Third, the high quality of “matching” between my interests and the opportunities.
Definitely consider working with Adam as you consider this very important venture. Franchising can be “life-changing” and it is critical to work with a professional like Adam to help ensure you make a solid choice.
I would tell the reference that my experience has been absolutely phenomenal. I had very little knowledge of how franchising works when I began talking to Adam. I am now well versed as our conversations were thorough. For me the most difficult question was what opportunities are even available in my budget and what makes sense for my skill set and work life balance. Coming off of a high demand job and working 70 hours per week, were there even options out there? Adam listened to what I wanted out of a franchise and set me up with 4 potential fits.
What surprised me the most was Adam's patience and thoroughness. Adam also suggested I got my wife involved and that was huge. My wife and I are huge fans of Adam. It made the information stream lined and comforting for both of us.
If you have ever wanted to start a franchise, I would highly recommend working with Adam Goldman. I was really blown away with Adam's service and communication. Adam does a great job of matching you with the right fit for both you and the franchise. From beginning to end, Adam is there every step of the way.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Adam knows the franchise industry and process well. He's been a franchisee before, and his personal experience is what informs his approach in working with future potential franchisees. He is also quite approachable, expresses ideas clearly, and allows the process to play out at its natural pace - which is quite important for someone who is considering a franchise opportunity for the first time. It's a huge commitment and no one wants to feel as though they are rushed into making a decision. That won't happen with Adam.
I was surprised at how much detailed, concrete information is available. This really helps in the evaluation process.
It really is worth exploring possibilities with Adam. There are opportunities out there with huge upside potential in industries that most people would never think of.
FranchiseCoach is a good resource to help me think through all aspects of franchise ownership and find franchises that fit my passion.
It is a clear and simple process to follow for someone interested in starting a franchise business.
The speed with which you reach a decision point among initial franchise options.
Makes it easier to navigate the significant number of franchise opportunities that exist in the market and provides guidance re: what to look for and what to avoid.
Access to hundreds of franchising options; Adam is very diligent about understanding your background and goals then effectively using that information to tailor a digestible list of opportunities that could be a great fit. Solid understanding of the franchise options and how they could potentially be viable in my home market
Adam has a lot of experience in this space. He provided me with great guidance throughout this process, which was very helpful. I would definitely work with Adam again.
I wouldn't look at this as US - this is all about YOU -- Adam, your charisma, personality, knowledge, and ability to connect the dots on what works for both franchises and potential franchisees is simply top-notch...
A couple of things surprised me - first, how many different types of business you have connections with, and second, that you curate a group of options that are unique to the circumstances of the person you are working with.
That Adam is great and a pleasure to deal with.
You are a great listener. You have a process where you get to know your clients and their goals. You evaluate their capacity to run a business as straightforwardly as possible. You challenge people that aren't quite ready to take the next step. The key to me was that you spent the time to write a 2-page letter outlining my potential to lead a business. The effort to construct a letter such as that seems rare, and I appreciate you for that, Adam. I realize there is some automation needed, but I can tell you are the type of guy to then review and adjust the response. I was surprised that you found me at all on LinkedIn. You seemed to have a gauge on me very early on. I wasn't really looking, but you must have studied me and extrapolated the possibilities from there. You are also very well connected and helped me accelerate connections, especially from a funding perspective.
I would say to those of you out there, who are business leaders, qualified, and looking to buy a Franchise, but really don't know all the details, Adam knows how to bridge that gap. Adam is a Franchise Expert, he knows the modern Franchise Market, and can assist entrepreneurs in their efforts to stand up their businesses, he knows where the best opportunities are in 2024 and beyond.
Adam listens well to his clients and has a wide breadth of knowledge of the industry. The speed and promptness of accurately identifying possible franchises of interest. I felt that portion of the process would be more lengthy and cumbersome. Don't be afraid to ask questions of Adam as he needs good input in order to provide accurate guidance. I had not prepared myself to respond to some of his queries.
First, If someone came to me thinking about buying a franchise and asked who they should talk to, your name would be the first that comes to mind.
Second, There were no surprises when it came to Franchise Coach. This is the first time I've considered investing in a franchise, so it was really a new learning experience for me.
Third, You were a good Coach to me. You pointed me in the right direction but left it up to me to investigate, learn, and determine the type of franchise that was most interesting to me. You did not judge or critique my decisions. Rather, you looked to learn what would be a good fit for me then guided me through the process.
Adam is immensely knowledgeable about the brands he works with and puts tremendous effort into understanding what each individual client is looking for in a franchise partner.
Adam helps you at every step of the way from an introduction of the franchise structure as a business model to your concerns as you are getting ready to sign with a specific brand.
My biggest surprise was how focused Adam was on finding the right franchise partner for me, not just closing me on the first option that came up!
Yes, I would refer you to someone. It was a thoughtful process. Adam is very supportive of those considering franchises for the 1st time.
I wasn't aware of your role existed in the Franchise world. Your coaching and experience were extremely helpful.
With FranchiseCoach services, I would tell someone to be open minded when considering franchise opportunities. The number of opportunities is endless.
There are a myriad of options in the Franchise world, just go to any franchise show and see how many are out there, with a detailed interview process Adam was able to distill what was important for us as prospective franchisees and recommend options that we had never even heard of.
The process was quick, organized and efficient without overlooking critical details. Use it; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Adam at FranchiseCoach seamlessly combines efficiency in the franchise search process with a degree of personalization that makes the experience of working with him feel like receiving guidance from a very knowledgeable friend as opposed to getting pitched a bunch of options by a busy sales broker. Adam took the time to learn about my motivations in exploring franchise options, as well as to get to know my interests and values. He has a large range of franchise options to share across industries and with a variety of business models. Using what he learned about me, he matched me up with three personalized options. Having the contrast of models across these 3 options really helped to narrow the choices down to a single best fit. I learned the value of working with Adam after a few attempts at finding investment opportunities independently. An attempt at a franchise resale and another attempt with a franchise that went nowhere helped me understand the value of starting the process with franchises that have been vetted for quality.
Adam has always been available to talk whether on Zoom or on the phone or text. His method of getting to know you and asking the right questions to learn about you is highly effective. I learned things about myself in the process, and he was able to make recommendations that really felt customized to me. I expected to be working with a salesperson, but the process never felt like a sales pitch. I never felt like I was getting manipulated into buying something, and never felt any pressure. Instead, it was a learning process for me that went at my pace. There are thousands of franchises out there. For someone like me who is looking for a career change, it is overwhelming. Adam’s experience with franchises allows him to categorize them in a way that helps him identify what kind of business model is right for you. Working with a consultant helps speed the process of narrowing down the options, and you learn so much about the world of franchising and starting your own business.
Adam has a great depth of info gathering and franchise suggestions. He is not trying to sell anything too hard, very refreshing.
An analytical and calm approach to the business of franchise information and knowledge to a specific candidate’s needs.
If owning a franchise is something you've considered, The Franchise Coach team will present opportunities you may not otherwise have found on your own. The book that arrived in the mail prior to our first meeting was a surprise. I found it to be very interesting and helpful. The Franchise Coach can connect you with resources and other supports that may help you launch and be successful in your first year.
Adam has a great job at listening in order to understand what we value and our goals with business ownership. He always followed through and seemed genuinely to care about the process we were going through, and by how quickly he was able to identify very interesting opportunities that aligned with our asks. The connections Adam has been able to make based on what we told him we valued!
