Testimonials
When I was contacted by Deb, I wasn’t quite sure which franchise brand would be the best fit for me. Having never worked with a franchise recruiter before, I really didn’t know what to expect. Deb eased my concerns and ensured that I had all the necessary tools and resources to make an informed and confident decision. We looked at a number of franchise brands to determine which one would be best for my business goals and I’m now the proud owner of a property management business. I was able to keep my current job before making a full transition into my new business. I would highly recommend working with her to educate yourself on outside possibilities that you may have not considered before. This has been the best decision I ever made. Thanks Deb!
It was a tough first year in a pandemic but we feel we’ve done well with marketing and getting our name out. We are in escrow to buy the Oceanside Sharkeys and we will open #3 by summer 2023! So we are all in. We love Sharkey’s! It’s like our third and fourth children. It was a great recommendation and we appreciate you for that
I am delighted to provide this testimonial for the franchise consulting services provided by Deb at Gould Executive Solutions. Deb’s valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process was instrumental in helping us select the perfect franchise for our family. Deb was always available to answer any questions, address concerns, and provide guidance, making the entire experience smooth and as stress-free as possible. I highly recommend Gould Executive Solutions to anyone in pursuit of their entrepreneurial dreams.
Having worked with Deb for a little over 3 years on a variety of HR projects, I appreciate her efficiency, organization, and ability to streamline processes. She brought some much needed professionalism and knowledge to our department. We also enjoyed a few coffees together and her friendly relaxed manner made for a great working rapport.
