Based on 4 reviews
CURRENT FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 1
The franchisee expressed a mixed view of the brand, pairing very high overall satisfaction and willingness to recommend with hesitation to reinvest. They praised the initial training and ongoing support, highlighted strong technology and effective customer acquisition, and noted that leadership demonstrates integrity. However, financial results have fallen short of expectations and ROI is unsatisfactory, contributing to low interest in purchasing again or expanding.
PERFORMANCE SCORECARD
FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 1
The franchisee expressed a highly positive view of the brand. They are very likely to purchase again, report financial results that have largely met expectations, and say the required time commitment aligns with what was promised and allows flexibility, including the option to run the business remotely. They praise the system’s democratic governance that actively includes franchisees in decision-making, while noting that technology should be a greater focus, particularly to meet insurance carrier expectations.
FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 1
The franchisee expressed a strongly negative view of the brand. They reported that financial performance and the required time commitment fell far short of what was represented during the sales process, and they would not choose to purchase the franchise again. No strengths were identified; instead, they criticized the lack of promised national insurance partnerships—saying they had to build local relationships themselves—raised concerns about the franchisor’s handling of their large territory (which was later split after their departure), and concluded the system did not fit their business model.
FORMER FRANCHISEE
Number of Locations: 4
The franchisee expressed a strongly positive overall sentiment toward the brand. They report that financial results and ROI meet expectations, are very likely to repurchase and recommend the system, and rate the franchisor’s technology highly. However, they view onboarding, ongoing support, and recommended customer acquisition strategies as only moderate. Despite their satisfaction, they are unlikely to expand into additional territories.
