Client Testimonials

“The Franchising Success Formula” program hit the mark. This should be on the list of essential programs for all Franchisors, particularly those starting out, seeking to improve, and/or wanting a deeper understanding of the formula to apply if success is the desired outcome.”

"I was fortunate to be able to read a copy of Jan's book in late 2022. It's an insightful, clearly structured and valuable tool for any aspiring or existing franchisor to put to use.
The more I read, the more I knew I wanted the opportunity to speak with Jan, do an interview and share that more broadly within my network. In our discussion, Jan clearly articulated key learnings from her research and some targeted insights that are laid out in her book for franchisors.

For those folks who were listening and gave me feedback later, the concepts and actions required (actually that are maybe demanded!) by the Silent Killers of Franchising Jan has identified are clear!

Great reading and great to listen to Jan's wisdom."
