  I recently had the chance to work with John to get his insights into a project I am working on in the franchising space. I reached out to him because I knew he was the best and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. He took the time to really understand what I was doing so he knew how to provide me the best value for my situation. He asked insightful questions that really challenged me to think of various aspects of my situation, provided his insights and suggestions, and gave me resources to continue moving forward. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone in the franchising space who needs his services. I am disappointed I could only give him 5 stars because he deserves way more than that!

  Johnny joined a group discussion about franchise exit planning at the IFA conference. His comprehensive knowledge of the franchise ecosystem and the expertise in helping franchise systems scale is outstanding. Highly recommended. Looking forward to partnering with him!

  No matter where you are on your franchising journey, John Francis can be a significant resource for you. He always shows up asking how he can help and willingly offers practical guidance and examples of how to implement recommendations. He brings strong credibility since he has most likely been where you are now. John has a very relatable way of helping you understand where your struggles may be coming from. With such deep experience, expertise and connections within the franchise space, he is more than willing to help you get to that next stage. Kay Wasserman, CFE Terrace Group Consultancy

  If you have the opportunity as a franchisee or a franchisor to work with John 'Johnny Franchise' Francis, I say run, don't walk to meet up with him. Not only is he extremely experienced, he is very professional, while being kind and constructive. He has generously stepped in to anticipate and solve a few items for me as we re-launch our new acquistion of a wonderful emerging franchise brand, and he is frankly an unexpected gift with his pin-point accurate advice and wisdom in busting through obstacles for our office. Personally I find him very warm-hearted, direct and refreshingly honest, while finding a way to be efficient and pragmatic during our meetings. He embodies his brand of 'Next Level Franchising' and I am very grateful to have been introduced to him. Looking forward to many more years of working together and shortcutting past some mistakes with his terrific guidance. Thank you, John!

  Really helpful advice for me, a beginner. He really helps you "get smart" on the topic, but it doesn't feel overwhelming
