FAQs

What does it cost to work with you?

There’s no fee for exploring brands with me. If you invest, the franchisor compensates my time—so you get unbiased guidance without extra cost.

Do you only work with tech/Salesforce niches?

No—I also help candidates explore healthcare, senior services, light industrial, finance & accounting, and more.

How fast can I launch?

With focus, many owners book their first client within 30–90 days after training. Your ramp will depend on sales activity and pipeline.

Can I keep my day job at first?

Some do. We’ll talk through time commitments, leadership needs, and when to hire your first recruiter or BD rep.

Will you review my FDD and Item 19?

I’m not your attorney, but I’ll help you understand the items in an FDD and help with questions to ask during validation so your counsel can advise you well.

Let’s map out your path.

Pick a time that works for you or send a note—I’ll reply personally.

Already talking to a staffing franchise? No problem — many people come to me once they’ve already started the process. If you’re happy with the brand and just want expert guidance to feel confident in your decision, I can help with validation, Item 19 review, and practical guidance. In those cases, since the franchisor isn’t involved, I work on a straightforward hourly advisory basis — so you still get experienced, unbiased support every step of the way.
