I’m proud of my clients’ success.

At a pivotal moment in my professional life that could have been scary, miserable and leading to becoming more jaded about the nonprofit world, I got an email invitation to work with JoAnne. I’m so glad I said yes and grateful for JoAnne’s insights, expertise, patience and affirming approach to coaching. She helped me feel courageous and confident about going into business for myself and I couldn’t be more excited about this adventure. Highly recommend JoAnne if you’re looking to make the leap!

Nicole Kreller – Oak Park, Illinois

JoAnne sought me out via Linkedin and I was reluctant to take a meeting with an unknown source. Boy, am I glad I set that rule aside and took the call. Expecting a sales call, I got something quite different, an empathetic woman who just wanted to discuss ideas and opportunities with me. All she asked was that I be open to the process. No sales pitch. Over the next several weeks, she built a relationship of trust, kept her word and delivered exactly as she said she would. She always listened and I felt understood my point of view and never pressured me into doing anything I was not comfortable with. I found in JoAnne a confidant with whom I could share my career concerns, as well as my hopes and dreams.

Ultimately, she helped me consider an option I would have never considered. All the while, I never felt pressured! Instead, I felt coached, helped, guided, and confident about moving in the direction of Franchise Ownership. I highly recommend JoAnne! She is an excellent coach! Thank you JoAnne!

McKay Judd – Salt Lake City, Utah

JoAnne was a wonderful coach and educator, as I stuck my toe into the world of franchise ownership. I went from completely ignorant, to a point where I was quite comfortable with the concept. She explained how franchises work, various ways they can be funded, pros and cons to owning my own business, etc.

I answered some aptitude and interest profile questions, which helped JoAnne identify some very good matches for me as possibilities. One in particular, fit my interests, abilities, and long-term goals like a Tee!
In the end, after lots of discussions and analyses of the information I had learned, I decided that franchise ownership is not the right fit for me, at this stage of my life.

If I find myself wanting to pursue franchise ownership in the future, JoAnne will be the first person I contact to help me get re-started in that venture.

If you are looking for a change outside of the “corporate” employment world, JoAnne can help you explore the option of franchise ownership, from beginning to end.

I absolutely, positively, 100% recommend her as a Career Ownership Coach!

Andy Inman – Noblesville, Indiana

I had the pleasure of working with JoAnne Maamry, and I cannot recommend her enough as a professional coach. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand my interests, motivations, and career goals, demonstrating remarkable patience and empathy throughout my learning process.

JoAnne not only provided insightful guidance but also introduced me to exciting business opportunities—including some beyond my initial scope—which I greatly appreciated. Her ability to broaden my perspective and encourage exploration was invaluable in my professional growth.
What stood out the most was her unwavering support. I always felt that JoAnne had my back, offering encouragement, honest feedback, and a strategic approach to navigating new opportunities. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine investment in my success make her an exceptional coach and mentor.

I am grateful for the experience of working with JoAnne and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and results-driven career coach.

Daniel Berrios – Hudson, Ohio

Johanne is a great professional, she has been my coach, helped me see many nuances, understand different things about my career path, and maximize my potential. Always willing to advise and give support also through her network of professionals.
Thank you Johanne

Walter Savastano – United States

I highly recommend JoAnne Maamry. She is a wonderful coach and person. She is highly professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and very well at listening and hearing what makes a person “tick”. She was a delight to work with and I enjoyed my time with her very much. TES is a fantastic organization and franchise. I learned so much about myself, new business opportunities and most importantly that I do bring talent and value to an organization. Thank you, JoAnne, for all your time and assistance.

Mary McQuillan – Nashville, Tennessee

JoAnne is a great person to work with if you are looking at a possible change of career. She helped me look at businesses which she matched with my personality to explore. She provided lots of support and guidance to figure out what would work for me and to help develop what possibilities where going to be right. She is patient and kind and wonderful to talk to. I highly recommend her.

Kevin Halberg – Cleveland, Ohio

JoAnne is one of the best. It’s my honor to say you must get online to get JoAnne’s coaching. I met JoAnne a few months ago, unsure what to expect from her coaching sessions. JoAnne helped me formulate my business goal, helped me identify my strengths vs. weaknesses, and positioned me to focus on my strengths. In a few weeks, I learned priceless business goals and strategies. I did not know it existed. JoAnne is highly knowledgeable and sincere in helping others. I was privileged to be coached by her. She helped me to raise the bar. I am now going higher!!

Hanna Ayenew – New York, New York

I highly recommend JoAnne and the services she provides. She took the time to listen to me and walk me through the process of transitioning to a new career. She is patient, understanding and remains calm.
I enjoyed getting to know her and even though I didn’t pursue franchising in the end, I did realize that career transition coaching is what I want to do.
JoAnne is very knowledgeable and will walk you through the process as you are transitioning to a new career.

Rosemary Thomason – Lima, Ohio

If you are ready to transition from your everyday nine-to-five to being your own boss. This is the person to speak to. She is spectacular in what she can do. She is extremely personable and gets down to business. I highly recommend her.

Michael Parker – Versailles, Kentucky

JoAnne is a kind, fun and joyful business coach. My time with her was always very positive, she took the time to listen to me and provided all of the resources needed to make an educated decision. I would recommend working with JoAnne if you have considered having your own business.

Diego A Herrero – Atlanta, Georgia

If you are considering your next career step and if you are considering options for starting your own business, I highly recommend JoAnne Maamry. I had toyed with the idea of starting my own business for a number of years, but felt it was out of my reach for a number of reasons. JoAnne walked me through a process that allowed me to truly explore and learn from my prior experiences, allowing me to truly understand the benefits of the franchise model, connecting my strengths with a small number of opportunities to vet. She kept me focused, pushed me when needed, built my confidence when needed. Her guidance on everything from financing to day to day operations to understanding how my strengths connected with the opportunities presented was done with the best combination of professionalism and empathy. I cannot say enough good things about JoAnne!

Jerry Courtney – Greater Lexington Area

I highly recommend Joanne Maamry to anyone considering franchising as a vehicle for starting their own business. Most people think of franchising only in terms of fast-food (and maybe hotels and convenience stores). But there are hundreds of opportunities out there, in everything from auto repair to pre-school, including many business-to-business concepts. Joanne can not only help you discover these opportunities, she will work with you to help determine the concepts that are the best fit for you.

Dan Waddell – Louisville, Kentucky

I highly recommend JoAnne. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and caring nature for her clients was such a breathe of fresh air.

Thomas Laut – Columbus, Ohio

I highly recommend JoAnne Maamry to anyone considering the path to self employment. I have been working with her for the last 2 months and appreciate her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to her clients. Look for an announcement in the near future on my new business venture.

Russell Shuster – Alpharetta, Georgia

My wife and I are local, but have been working with JoAnne virtually, due to COVID-19. During this 3 month journey, filled with fun, but hard work, we could not be more happy and satisfied with JoAnne’s professionalism, knowledge, communication, patience and sincere passion for us to find a business that fits us. She truly wants to see us succeed as first time business owners. We’re actually impressed with how she has handled this process with us!

We would recommend JoAnne to anyone who has the desire to pursue a career outside of Corporate America, or just to gain more information about self employment career options/opportunities – SHE CAN HELP YOU!

With JoAnne’s assistance, we have found a business that is perfect for us! Being that we have been placed and will soon launch our business, we thought her services were done, but no. JoAnne keeps in touch with us weekly via a phone call LOADED with references, tips and recommendations for success!

Thank you, JoAnne! We give you two thumbs-up!

Stephen Bland – Fisherville, Kentucky

JoAnne has been a real blessing for me during a time of career transition. She has given me great clarity and direction on my future career. Through the process, it was clear that I needed to be in a business of my own. With JoAnne’s help, that will soon be a reality. I’d strongly recommend JoAnne’s services to anyone in a career transition or considering business ownership.

Don Harris – Louisville Metropolitan Area

JoAnne brings years of background experience and works with one of the world’s MOST respected firms that help people find the “RIGHT” business. In a community with over 4000+ franchise options and many thousands of business opportunities, JoAnne can help you separate the “BEST” from the rest!

There is no longer any security in the J-O-B. Owning one’s own business – IF you pick the RIGHT business will change you life for the better and provide you better LONG-TERM security no longer available by working for someone else! JoAnne can help you achieve that goal if you are willing to closely follow her suggestions.

Larry Carnell ABI, CMT, CFB, CFE – Marietta, Georgia

I was looking to create another business when I met JoAnne Maamry in 2010 at a Franchise Expo. I went out of curiosity. Wow! So much information. So many genuine opportunities. Ms Maamry introduced herself to me offering her service to help navigate this labyrinth. What she did was help me discover my strengths and weaknesses as an owner/ceo. She filtered out the noise of the marketplace and matched me with businesses that most closely matched me. “Me” being the central component of the match. This service will benefit the foundation of your business in numerous ways. JoAnne is a joy of a person and has become a valued consultant and friend.

Allen Chandler – Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area

Working with Joanne gave me a chance to take inventory not only of my skill set but also of my personal interests. This allowed me to not only focus on a new career move but a move towards my passion.

Vern Goodman – Beattyville, Kentucky

I began working with JoAnne in August of 2012. She is a Business Transition Coach who assists individuals who are looking to transition from the job market to opening their own business. We immediately hit it off. I felt JoAnne really took the time to get to know me as a person and truly wanted what was best for me and my family. In going through the process of reviewing various different companies, JoAnne introduced me to businesses that would fit my lifestyle and interests. She was with me every step of the way. We would set up calls weekly to review our progress and she was wonderful with the advice and encouragement provided. I could not have gone through this process if it wasn’t for her (I know I would have chicken’d out!). She reminded me each week of what my ultimate goals were and to believe in myself. I would highly recommend anyone who is having thoughts of making a change in their life to work with JoAnne. She is truly an exceptional human being and a pleasure to work with. I strongly believe I have not only gained a business partner; but a friend as well. I know she will always be there for me anytime I need her and I for her as well.

Jerry Courtney, Greater Lexington Area

I was fortunate to meet JoAnne early on in my search. I attended a job fair during a “Soldiers for Life” event where she was exhibiting, and we engaged in conversation. We set up a meeting where I spent a long time talking while she listened and asked questions. I believe my Esource Coach knows more about me than anyone else in my life.  JoAnne learned that I had been pretty banged up during my many years in Special Forces. I was concerned that I might not have the energy level required to run a business, and she helped me work through those fears. She also knew that I didn’t want a business that depended solely on my efforts. I wanted a team, and I wanted a service that was needed in my community. Having someone in your corner while you venture into the new world of business ownership is vital. When I was concerned and encountered challenges, JoAnne made it OK. She also guided me through the next steps. It is such a comfort to have someone who cares. I never felt alone. Now I’m in business for myself, but not by myself thanks to the support of my franchisor and my Esource Coach.

Franko Antolovich – Owner, House Doctors of Hardin County, KY

You have been phenomenal throughout the process and I’m glad you stuck with me even though I was not that interested in franchises initially.  You answered all my (sometimes over the top) questions with 100% integrity.  The professionalism throughout the process was beyond my expectations, and my impression of the franchise model has been changed forever.

Chris Brown – North Charlotte Metro

“I highly recommend JoAnne. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and caring nature for her clients was such a breath of fresh air.”

ALLEN CHANDLER, Realtor/Broker

“As a former award winning entrepreneur, I have long recognized that in life there are two ways to learn… one is through your mistakes the other lower cost option is to learn from others. That is especially the case in searching for the “Right” business. As such I have consistently found that the KEY TO SUCCESS is by partnering with TRAINED EXPERTS.
