I just wanted to say thank you for your support as we (my wife and I) went through the process of finding a franchise. As you know we started with another franchise broker. After our first call I knew that if we was going to take on a franchise it would be with your help. Your knowledge of the process was very helpful and you prepared us for each step. There is now doubt in my mind that we will be successful with our franchise choice and again I want thank you for your part in making that happen. Sincerely

Bruce & Meryl W.

Chris Mesker has opened an exciting world of opportunities for my wife and me! Working with Chris was a truly wonderful experience, not only because of his deep expertise in the franchise market but also due to the supportive manner in which he guided us through analyzing various franchise opportunities. We greatly appreciate how well he understood our profiles and presented us with options that were a perfect fit! Thank you so much, Chris, for your fantastic support and insightful advice at every step. We’re grateful to have you by our side!

Having left my role as Vice President of Worldwide Operations at Immucor in May, 2013, I made the decision to take a step back and objectively evaluate what I wanted to do. I had gained confidence from experience and results that I could continue my career in the corporate world. At the same time, I recognized that there were many occasions during my corporate life where I felt frustrated with the politics and managing to hit quarterly targets based on external expectations rather than aggressive but realistic targets.

Since leaving the Navy in 1992, I always had a job and only left one company to take a job at the next company. I never had the time or gave myself the opportunity to evaluate alternatives to corporate life. Having the time now, I looked at career options down two parallel paths. One path was the traditional job search with target opportunities similar to my leadership role at Immucor. The other path, was going into business for myself, primarily franchising.

On the corporate front, I was fortunate to have multiple active opportunities during my search. It soon became clear though that I would likely have to relocate if I was going to find an opportunity at a level similar to the position I had just left. I was willing to relocate for the right opportunity but my wife and I decided that we would not relocate our daughter during her high school years. This would put me in a position of working remotely and seeing my family on weekends. This was a significant downside for us but the downside was countered by the fact that the jobs were attractive from a fit and compensation perspective.

On the franchise path, I asked for information on an in-home senior care business and got connected with a franchise consultant named Chris Mesker. Chris took the time up front to get to know me and to help determine suitable franchise options. Chris also took the time to explain his role and took the approach of providing education and support rather than one of selling. This was important to me as I don’t respond well to hard sell tactics and endevour to make decisions based on an objective assessment of facts and data.

Chris presented a handful of opportunities and I narrowed the list to 3 potentials based on my preference. Although a staffing business would not have been on my short list, Chris spoke very highly of the culture, transparency, integrity and franchise support at this particular staffing company. I was impressed with the information I reviewed and kept them on the short list. The other two candidates were an in-home senior care business and a shipping/logistics business. Initially, I would have ranked this staffing company #3 of 3 but as I worked through the discovery process, I saw them rise in my ranking.

In summary, I came out of the discovery process with the conclusion that as a Franchisor this staffing company was focused on helping its Strategic Partners succeed in a manner consistent with a set values that are foundational to success. It was my conclusion that I could succeed in the business and that I could take pride in partnering with an organization that was always working to “consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most.”

“To Whom it may concern,

I have had the distinct privilege in knowing Chris Mesker as a Franchisee Consultant during my endeavors toward owning a Franchise. Chris made the entire process painless as well as seamless. He directed my actions in a constructive manner, which inevitably led to more questions. I was delighted that Chris was able to answer all of my questions and then directed me to other avenues to better understand the Franchise Process, which included personal evaluation forms as well as books. During this entire time there was a game plan that was carefully laid out, one which allowed integration of information without sensory overload. Chris knew how to manage my ability to assimilate information. Indeed, the process was faster than I would have predicted. It was also very helpful in that Chris was previously involved in a Home Care Business (the franchise that I ultimately partnered with).

Through the entire process I felt as if I knew Chris since childhood, which also helped assuage many fears of this new chapter in my life.(It also is great that he loves the USC Trojans, my Alma Mater for 18 years).

I would recommend Chris in any endeavor he undertakes as his knowledge, style and extremely personable character make him a pleasure to interact with professionally. At all times it was clear that I was his client and he would strive to make me happy both in the short and long term. I am sure I will stay in touch with Chris in the future.”

With so many franchises for sale today, finding the right fit can be difficult for aspiring entrepreneurs. With a seemingly endless number of opportunities available and so many different factors to consider, attempting to go through the process on one’s own can prove extremely costly in terms of both time and money. Those looking to open a top franchise can often become so overwhelmed with the possibilities that they simply give up. Even many of those who are ultimately successful in opening their business can discover after several months, or even years, and thousands of dollars that they chose the wrong franchise for them.

Choosing and evaluating a franchise can be challenging. Chris's expertise, knowledge of the franchise industry, and availability made his support throughout this process invaluable. He's the man! Thank you, Chris!
