“Terese was an incredible partner to me as I explored entrepreneurship and ultimately chose to launch my WSI Digital Marketing consulting firm. When I first started talking with her, I wasn't 100% sure what direction I wanted to go but I knew I wanted to build something that truly aligned with my experience, values, and long-term goals. Terese took the time to understand who I am as a leader and what I wanted to create. Throughout the entire process—from initial exploration, to evaluating multiple business models, to due diligence, to making a confident decision—Terese was thoughtful and patient. She brought structure, clarity, and honest perspective to what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming process. I never once felt pushed. Instead, I felt supported, educated, and empowered to make the right move for me. Thanks to her, I stepped into this next chapter with confidence and a clear understanding of why this was the right move. I highly recommend Terese. She’s the kind of partner you want—strategic, honest, and genuinely invested in your success.”

“Terese did an outstanding job guiding me through the process of exploring franchise ownership. She took the time to understand my goals and family considerations before presenting opportunities that aligned with my background. I always felt educated and supported throughout the process. She was always available to answer questions and help me evaluate the best fit, including the possibility that franchising might not be right for me and my family. I highly recommend her to anyone exploring franchise ownership.”

“I remember the day when we decided to purchase a business. My wife and I agreed on the criteria for our search. The first thing I did was call Terese. We had built a relationship over 4 years and I knew she was the person we could trust. Her approach was precise and lazer focused. She took the time to get to know us personally beyond our desire to be business owners. Our search lasted a year and she showcased 10 businesses based on our criteria. Once we decided to move forward, Terese was a champion during the negotiations of purchasing a current business. It's been 4 years and I am still smiling and she still continues to reach out. What a lovely process from a wonderful professional. Thank you, Terese!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Terese to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate advisor in the franchising world. I had the pleasure of meeting Terese 10 years ago when she joined a volunteer group of which I was a part. From the moment we met, it was clear we shared similar values and beliefs, which made us hit it off instantly. We've been co-volunteers over these years and Terese's selfless passion and dedication to others has been evident. Terese's expertise in helping people explore franchising opportunities has been helpful to many others over the years. Last year I engaged Terese, and her guidance and support throughout the franchise evaluation process were invaluable. She took the time to understand my skills, education, and passion for assisting individuals to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Her coaching and honesty throughout the process continued to keep me true to my core beliefs and goals. Thanks to Terese's unwavering support and insightful guidance, I am thrilled to announce the opening of Assisting Hands Northern Summit Homecare in Ohio. Terese's ability to match my capabilities with the perfect franchise opportunity has been instrumental in making this venture a reality. https://assistinghands.com/NS”
