When it comes to knowledge about successful franchising, John is a mastermind! He is one of the most experienced and articulate people I know in the industry and John has the rare natural ability to boil down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps to achieve success.

Whether you are a franchisor looking to take your company to the next level, or a prospective franchisee looking for guidance on purchasing the right franchise opportunity, John is someone you need to talk with. I highly recommend John Hayes and the services offered at HayesWorldwide and FranchiseMastermind.com.

Dr. Hayes:

I am so grateful that I “discovered” you and your web site. I was pleasantly surprised when you replied so quickly to my e-mailed questions concerning conducting proper due diligence and the process of determing profit potential of prospective franchisors. Then you even took time away from your busy schedule at the Franchise Expo in Grapevine to sit down and share your thoughts and insights with my wife and I.

You listened to our story. You challenged us to work hard to find the franchise opportunity and the franchisor that was right for us. You encouraged us with the realization that there are really good franchisors out there.. I encourage all potential franchisees and franchisee-wannabes to subscribe to your web site.

I now know what questions to ask franchisors concerning the reasons why I should purchase their franchise. After reading your newsletter article that you sent out to your subscribers today (You’re Buying A Franchise? First Question To Answer Is: Why?), I now also know what questions to ask myself regarding my reasons for wanting to purchase a franchise.

You have been a tremendous help to us as we continue to navigate the sometimes confusing road to becoming successful and PROFITABLE franchise owners. Thank you!

From Arnie Williams

John has a clear, no nonsense approach to franchising that franchisees and franchisors alike can subscribe to. He does not mince words and he tells it like it is. It was refreshing to listen to his presentation and to know there was someone else out there that told the story for the benefit of all not for the benefit of the almighty dollar. John has been around franchising for 30 years and has brought understanding and insight to the franchising industry. Listen to him he will not steer you wrong.

John, this was my first experience with franchises, and I decided that before spending upwards of $2-300,000 it would be wise to spend a few dollars getting some background information.

Your seminar (Who Else Wants To Be A Successful Franchisee) was both informative and interesting. You also delivered the information in such a way that this did not feel like a dry lecture, you kept my attention. Not only did I get a better understanding of what franchises are and how they work, I got the knowledge to ask better questions when talking with the franchisors.  Being better informed made me feel like a better candidate for a franchisor.

I was not aware of all the legal issues that the franchisors had to comply with, and this information also helped me to understand some of the items in the franchise disclosure statement. Seeing the lawsuits listed against the franchisor would have really bothered me had I not known it was mandatory to list them.

I was skeptical of buying a franchise. . . I felt that what I pay for the initial fee and the ongoing royalties was not worth the expense for what you get. Your course, coupled with what I saw at the franchise expo, has changed my mind. I now see the value of all the support you get, in spite the fact that I consider myself to be a successful businessman.

Dr. Hayes,

I found your class (Who Else Wants To Be A Successful Franchisee?) very informative and helpful.

I am still researching and studying for the perfect Franchise for El Salvador and maybe even Central America. I am taking it very slow studying all my options.

Thank You,

John Hayes’ webinar “How to buy a ‘hot’ franchise and not get burned” was an excellent source of information when going through the process of deciding if franchising is for you, how to choose a franchise, and areas to investigate before you sign a contract. Thanks John for your great insights!

From Gene Klauser

Great Session! The HOT franchise can be just that, a flash in the pan and then gone. I am convinced that I want to proceed with an established franchise that you can verify has proven systems in place. You and your website have been a tremendous help as I go down the road of evaluating franchising as a second career option for me. Thanks for being there for us prospective franchisees.

I participated in a recent teleconference led by John Hayes. I was very impressed with his presentation. John is a extremely knowledgeable about the franchise industry. The content in his presentation was very informative and well worth the time. I would highly suggest to anyone interested in a franchise business to participate in one of John Hayes’ conferences.

From Eddie Soles

You did an excellent job of covering the key points to consider when buying a franchise.  Your message was concise and to the point and covered a great deal of information in an hour in a helpful and strictly non-sales seminar.  Kudos!

From Mike Hodel

I have been studying the purchase of a franchise for quite some time now. I stumbled upon Dr. Hayes’ webinar during a web search. Despite my considerable research to date, I found the webinar contained a lot of additional, useful information for prospective franchisees. I would DEFINITELY recommend it.

Thank you!
