Point them this way. That's really all it takes.

“Most of my best conversations have started with an introduction from someone who'd been through it themselves.”

Kelsey Stuart, Waypoint Franchise Advisors

How to send someone my way

01

Mention that you know Kelsey

A quick text or email letting them know works perfectly. No formal intro needed.

02

Send them to this site

They can read about the process, take the readiness quiz, or just reach out directly.

03

Or send Kelsey an intro

If you want to make a direct introduction, an email or text works fine. There's no right way to do this.

Who tends to get the most out of a conversation

You don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out. But if any of these sound like someone you know, it's probably worth a conversation.

The Burned-Out Achiever

Someone who's been successful in corporate but is done building someone else's dream.

The Corporate Expat

Someone who was laid off, or saw the reorg coming and got out. Now figuring out what's next.

The Trailing Spouse

Smart, capable, relocated again. Wants something portable and theirs.

The 3–5 Year Planner

Still employed, doing well, but quietly researching the exit before they need one.

The Off-Ramp Builder

Not quitting tomorrow, but wants to start building something on the side so the money is already flowing when they do.

The part that usually surprises people

More of my referrals come from people who decided not to buy a franchise than from people who did. That says something about how the process works.

When someone goes through it and realizes it's not the right fit, they don't walk away feeling sold to. They walk away with a better read on where they actually stand. And they tend to think of someone they know who'd benefit from that same kind of honest conversation. If you know someone at that kind of crossroads, that's exactly who I'm here for.
