I’m proud of my clients’ success.

I strongly suggest engaging in a conversation with Ralph if you’re considering investing in a franchise or exploring fresh business concepts. His profound understanding of the franchise industry allows him to uncover opportunities you may not have considered previously. The initial step involves a call to understand your requirements thoroughly. Subsequently, you’ll complete a personality survey. Ralph will then identify suitable franchises that align with your preferences. I was thoroughly impressed with Ralph’s dedication and his ability to connect me with potentially fitting franchises.

Working with Ralph Nilssen in identifying and vetting franchise opportunities was for me, an extremely enjoyable experience. I consider him a kind and reliable resource, having had years of personal experience. Obtaining a thorough understanding of my strengths and interests, informed him to suggest the right kind of opportunity matches. His coaching technique is encouraging, non-invasive and flexible. In offering additional resources I needed to suit specific needs, he showed real commitment to my success. His frank and honest advice was very educational and allowed me to make the right decision. I truly am smarter after interfacing with Ralph and I highly recommend him and his process for anyone looking for new franchise opportunities.

Working with Ralph has been a delight. He is knowledgeable, professional, and patient which make working with him very easy and stress free. With his down to earth approach he helped me to work through many potential options until I found a good fit for a franchise based off criteria that Ralph even helped me to define. I never felt rushed or pressured to commit and that he was just with me on a journey to explore opportunities. You can tell he loves what he does.
He helped me every step of the way and always found me an answer when he didn’t already know (which was rare). He is caring and thoughtful and even checked in on me after my area was devastated by Hurricane Ian. Ralph is a great guy and I am very glad that I got to work with him. I feel confident that his offer to call anytime is true and genuine, and is much appreciated by me. If you are interested in pursuing a franchise and have little to no idea of how to start, or finish, then Ralph is the best guide you could have.

Ralph led me through the different aspects of each opportunity which gave me the information necessary to make an informed decision.

Thank you, Ralph! You are a true professional and I am proud to say that I have done business with you! Your down to earth approach was the perfect fit for me.

Mario Garnier – Client & Business Owner

Professional. Trusted. Relationship Based. These are the three ways I would best describe Ralph Nilssen. I have known Ralph for several years and his professionalism during each conversation and meeting inspires me to be my best. During this time, he has always acted with integrity and honor, giving me great comfort, he is looking out for my best interest. Even with his professionalism and trust, I believe his most admirable trait is his desire to foster and nurture relationships. His willingness to coach, mentor, advise and teach is ever present, regardless of financial reward, because he understands the importance of building strong relationships. If you are going to build a team of people to help you or your company succeed, you need to have Ralph on it.

Greg Biersack – Client, CEO & Founder, Reach Dental Equipment Service

I’ll admit that I was skeptical at first being contacted by a Career Ownership Coach but my skepticism was all for naught.  I had not considered owning a franchise until I met Ralph. Ralph has a very calm way of explaining his role and how he operates. What I appreciated most was that he spent the time getting to know me, provided me with open and honest feedback, and really listened to my long-term goals before we discussed potential franchise opportunities. He obviously does his job well as the opportunities discussed fit well within my experience, skillset and more importantly focused on the things I really like doing.  Ralph has been a tremendous resource for me and I certainly encourage anyone thinking about moving into a franchise model that they spend time with Ralph to make an informed decision.

Michael Salazar – Client & New Business Owner

I was introduced to Ralph through a friend of mine who had worked with him in the past. When I gave Ralph a call he was kind and very willing to work with me in finding a franchise that fit both me and my wife as well as another business partner and his wife. Ralph helped us find the perfect fit for our group and was always willing to assist us and answer questions along the way. We have never bought into a franchise before, and he was always there to answer our questions big and small. We highly recommend Ralph with any of your needs to find a franchise for you

Rob & Margo Johnson – Clients & New Business Owners

Ralph did an exceptional job at listening to what I wanted in a business opportunity. He supplied several options that he thought would meet my needs and worked with me for months vetting opportunities. As we narrowed down to a couple possibilities, Ralph was a great sounding board for my concerns and provided valuable feedback based on his own experience as a business owner. I never once felt pressure to make any kind of decision. Ralph was always on my timetable and was always available to call and ask questions about specific opportunities or general business start-up questions. I valued his input and look forward to keeping our business relationship as my new franchise gets started. I would highly recommend Ralph and his services to anyone looking for an opportunity to start their own business.

Robert Price – Client & New Business Owner

When in career transition, paths may present themselves insofar as professional development and income producing opportunities. At times, those paths can lead to hasty decision making which may soon be regrettable. Ralph excels in his profession by being a good listener, a thoughtful problem solver and an empathetic ear. Though it can be easy for people in Ralph’s position to be motivated by greed, I found Ralph to be motivated by helping others to find their own proper path. He is a true coach and collaborator who takes pride in building long-lasting and trusting relationships with his clients whether they generate immediate income for himself or not. Never exerting pressure, Ralph provides guidance and qualified opportunities that meet the unique needs of his clients. Anyone considering entering the world of being a franchise operator would benefit from Ralph’s insight as a successful entrepreneur and career coach.

Marc Lessem – Client, Executive Leader | Marketing | Sales | Business Development

Working with Ralph Nilssen has truly been a wonderful experience. We began our journey just after I lost my job. Over the next year and a half, we considered a number of franchises. In that time frame he found a franchise that he thought we should consider. Over the next few months, doing our due diligence, we found this franchise to be ideal for our situation. Since that time we are now in our final stage of the Lease Agreement and hope to be opening sometime soon. Without Ralph’s help we probably would have never found this franchise. He has been a true professional and I would deem to call him a friend. Thank you, Ralph!

John Embleton – Client & New Business Owner

Ralph Nilssen was a great asset to my wife and I in our search for a franchise that fit our needs. Ralph was patient and understanding of the time and care we needed to make our selection. His professionalism in all phases of the search was exceptional. It took nearly a year to reach our conclusion. During that time our family experienced Covid 19 illness, unemployment, personal loss, and many delays. Ralph listened to all of our concerns and never pushed us while we were in these trying times. Ralph listened carefully and presented franchise opportunities that fit our lifestyle, budget, needs, and long-term goals. He was never pushy nor rushed us in any way to move on a franchise. He coached us and presented a number of opportunities before we were able to decide on the right fit. We enjoyed working with Ralph and would highly recommend him for your search. He brings a personal touch to the experience and would always consider our needs in all situations. Feel free to contact me for a reference in the future. Thanks, Ralph, for a great experience!

Huey Kliebert – Client & New Business Owner

It is my pleasure to recommend Ralph Nilssen. Being an accomplished business owner, Ralph’s knowledge and experience is invaluable to his coaching. His work ethic, integrity and commitment to do the very best for his clients is a great example to the franchise industry.
