Entrepreneur's Source, Franchise Source, Franchise E Souce, Advi Coach, Terry Powell Terry Powell Considering becoming an Entrepreneur's Source franchisee or franchisee of any of their brands, RUN LIKE THE WIND Southbury, Connecticut

I work for a franchisor and I can tell you that TES has many, many, many, happy franchisees.  There is business is a busienss that you will get exactly what you put in.  If you want to sleep in every day until 2 and work until 5 you will not make any money.  If you work, have your clients best interest at heart, and have a desire for success, you can do great.  Beleive me my company has written many checks to TES and their consultants, all of which are still with TES 10 plus years later. 

Great company and I would buy one if I ever wanted to be in another business.

I agree with everything in this report.  But I want to add that for the most part, coaches are truly interested in helping people find the right business.  Coaches are usually corporate executives with great experience and training.  This report should not disparage any coach in any way, rather it highlights the difficulties coaches have in trying to run their business with the CEO from he...

Don't get involved with FSBI brands as a franchisee.  But working with a TES coach will really help you decide what you want in a business.

Thank you for posting.  I know you must have been very frustrated to be pushed to this end.

I wanted to just add that the 230 or so franchisee owners are focused on helping our clients and we know we are stuck with an arrogant franchisor.  I cannot speak for all the franchisee but for me, I  try to ignore him as much as possible and avoid any contact with him. 

Bottom line, I would never recommend this firm to my clients to invest in but I am stuck because I have spent over 200K trying to make it work for my family.  He tells us it is our fault.  He gives us aged leads and when coaches leave he gives us those old leads that didn't buy from them in the hopes we will find 1 lead out of thousands.  He should read the book by Jim Collins, How the Mighty Fall:  And Why Some Companies Never Give In because he fits the arrogance model that Jim describes. He writes emails of how great he is and how from a simple paper pad he sold franchises to clients so with all his "great tools" why can't we.  His tools are terrible and his IT team does not know anything about technology or he simply does not let do their job.. who knows.  All I know is that I'm out of here as fast as I can and I will never recommend this model to anyone.

I share this to help others not to buy this model until Powell retires or wakes up.  But also wanted to let consumer know that the owners of the independent offices are people who simply want to earn a living and help their clients.

 USA Coach afraid to say name since Powell will send his evil lawyer, Church, to do his dirty work.
