Success Stories
Jim was instrumental providing a wide range of opportunities based on my discussions with him. He tempered that against my risk tolerance to find the franchise that suited me best. He listened to what I wanted and made sure we found a franchise that fit my life. He was very patient and very thorough. His follow-up was excellent as well. He kept track of where I was in the process and made sure things were staying on track. I’m happy to recommend him to anyone thinking about franchising.
I can’t say enough about the job Jim Judy did for my family. When we decided to pursue a franchise, we weren’t sure where to begin. Jim served as a steady guide through the process. He helped us decide what we wanted out of life as entrepreneurs, narrow down our options, choose financing and select the right franchise to join. I would recommend Jim to anyone considering a future in franchising.
I had fiddled around with a few concepts on my own, but I really couldn’t put it all together. I called Jim, we began a conversation, and as he started to understand more about me, he suggested some concepts that he thought might work. Two months of consultation resulted in us landing in the perfect franchise for what we wanted our lives to look like. Jim is a consultant, not a salesman. I highly recommend giving him a call.
I would never have found my franchising opportunity without Jim Judy. We talked several times before he ever suggested any franchises. He learned about my wife and I, what are goals and dreams were, then matched us with a franchise that fit that lifestyle. He took his time with us to make sure we got it right and we couldn’t be happier.
My partner and I started working with Jim after one of the franchises we were interested in recommended we contact him for guidance. Jim took a good look at our current situation and helped us determine where we wanted a franchise to help us go. Jim is very knowledgeable about the franchise industry and helped calm our nerves and negotiate on our behalf when necessary. We will definitely continue to use Jim as we expand our franchising empire.
I had a really good experience with Jim! He is very ethical and trustworthy, so I knew he would lead me in a direction that made me feel comfortable. I had a sense of what I wanted in a franchise before I contacted him, so once we started working together, he quickly matched my goals with Restoration 1. Not only that, but he spoke to the company’s CEO and area developer in order to get me into an event for current franchisees! Having a consultant is so important to guide you through the process and having someone ethical like Jim is critical.
When I first started thinking about franchising I was doing the research myself, but it became overwhelming quickly. I’m glad I connected with Jim because he brought a real objectivity to the process. He helped me narrow down what was important to me so we could select a few franchises for consideration. There are thousands of choices when it comes to franchises, so having an expert like Jim help me determine my priorities, and then find a good franchising fit was a real plus.
