About Us
Our company is a member of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG) and will bring a host of resources to assist you in your search. When you work with a professionally trained franchise consultant you are tapping into a franchise professional who has a process in place to help you succeed in your search for the right business.
- We’ll spend the time needed with you to understand what your goals are. Imagine buying a home or even a car without first stepping back to decide what you need and what your investment range should be? You owe it to yourself and your family to start your search with some guidelines in place–that is where we can help.
- After we understand what your personal and professional goals are, we’ll begin contacting franchisors on your behalf. You’ll never have to visit websites, request information and then wait around to see if a franchise is potentially the right fit–we’ll do all of that for you.
- We’ll show you franchises that you’d probably never even consider on your own. Yes, that is something that an experienced franchise professional, with a deeper understanding of the opportunities in today’s marketplace, will regularly do for their clients. If you love coffee, you’ll probably gravitate to a looking at coffee franchises, even though owning a coffee franchise has very little to do with loving coffee. You owe it to yourself to understand what franchise models best align with your existing skills and we’ll help get that picture into focus.
- If you need financing, we can refer you to 3rd party lenders who specialize in financing franchises. All too often someone’s life’s dream of franchise ownership is squashed by their local bank’s loan officer who many have little or no experience in lending to potential franchisees.
Pam Bartlett is a Certified Franchise Consultant with more than 30 years of business experience working with nationally branded consumer products companies in senior level sales and marketing roles. She is experienced in project management, strategic planning, product merchandising and forecasting. She served on various cross-functional teams throughout her years in the consumer products industry.
In 2013 Pam decided it was time to own her own business. The thought of starting something from scratch was overwhelming, so she decided that franchising may be the best option for her. She reached out to a franchise consultant who took time to get to know her, her financial needs, experiences (both life and work) and her short and long-term goals.
Pam had been navigating the maze of options for her elderly parents and in-laws, so when her consultant suggested senior care, she seized the opportunity to become part of the senior care solution and purchased a Senior Helpers franchise. Armed with a strong business and operations background plus a degree in Rehabilitation Services, Pam put her personal passions and professional expertise to work.
In addition to running her own business, Pam spent six years on the franchise’s Owners’ Advisory Council. This gave her an inside look at the franchisee/franchisor relationship. From this experience she decided she wanted to become a bigger part of the franchising industry and she went through extensive training and credentialing to become a Certified Franchise Consultant.
Coming out of corporate America, Pam wanted to be her own boss, but she didn’t want to be on her own. She was used to the support she received working for large corporations and didn’t want to be in business without that backing. Franchising has given her the best of both worlds, and she is excited to share that experience. She enjoys working with her clients and learning about their needs and wants so she can help them realize the dream of business ownership.”
