I’m proud of my clients’ success.

Jerry’s wonderful preparation and consultative skills with his candidates are world class. Jerry just worked w me in welcoming a perfect fit candidate into our Mosquito Joe family. We just finished the first of hopefully many matches that will change lives and create wealth though franchise ownership. Jerry stayed in communication with his candidate and me every step of the way, a true professional!

Jerry R. Cooper – Director Franchise Development Mosquito Joe

Though I worked with Jerry for a brief period of time, his coaching, mentoring and overall guidance for the immediate and the future was extremely valued. He helped me ask questions of myself that helped me continue to shape my thoughts on the future and where I want to be both professionally and personally. While I had another opportunity present itself at the time we were meeting that I ultimately chose to accept, I would have continued the exploration path with Jerry. The process and conversations put in place to facilitate thought, goals and evaluate “who” you are, are top notch. If you’re at a spot in your life/career where you’re trying to figure out what the future looks like, connect with Jerry as he’s got a lot of opportunity for you.

Jerry coached me in assessing franchise opportunities that might be a good fit for me. Throughout the process he was supportive, encouraging, and provided sound counsel. I particularly appreciate that while Jerry utilized method while guiding me he accounted for my needs, interests, and concerns as an individual.

Jerry was extremely helpful and patient as I faced a crossroads in my career outlook, He opened up the world of entrepreneurship and franchise ownership and helped me to understand where I wanted to go next in my career. Jerry is very personable and easy to work with. He has a no-pressure attitude and genuinely cares about his clients. I would recommend Jerry as a coach if you are looking to make a similar change in your life to more independence and balance.

Jerry supplied superb coaching to help me reassess my career plans and thoughts on selecting a new course or continuing in my more comfortable track. Jerry’s insights and counsel were instrumental on peeling back the onion to help determine what made the best sense for me at this stage of my life. Coaching is a skill. Jerry proves that quality coaching is NOT just skill. In fact, it is more art than science. I very much appreciate his time, passion and effort in helping lead me through this transitional period.

Jerry provided me coaching while I was assessing franchise opportunities. He took the time to get to know me and was able to suggest some franchises for me to consider. He made the process extremely easy and had my interests at the forefront while probing to be sure I was looking at these opportunities from all angles. It was a pressure free process and moved at my pace. I would recommend Jerry for anyone who is considering franchise opportunities.

Jerry was my coach on my journey of franchise discovery. I hadn’t ever considered owning a business, but after taking the time to get to know me and what motivated me, Jerry was able to help me identify several options that checked off all my boxes. If your current situation is less than desirable, and you are wondering about what options are out there, get in touch with Jerry. You will be pleasantly surprised and find career options that you never thought of. I would recommend Jerry to anyone considering owning a business.

If you are looking for a job or want to do a career change or even go out on your own as a solo entrepreneur or a franchisee but are hesitant, reach out to Jerry. He was/is an excellent coach who spends his time helping you discover other possible career paths that you never thought of before. His services are free and he will spend however much time you need for coaching as well as answering any questions you may have. I highly recommend Jerry to help guide you into your next job or a career change!

Eleanor (Lea) Callahan Co-Founder of the Zips Dry Cleaners Franchise

I had the pleasure of working with “coach” Jerry Callistein as he guided me through the discovery process of business ownership. Jerry took the time to get to know me as well as my personal and financial goals before ever presenting any options. The franchise opportunities that Jerry introduced were all sound business models that would allow me to be in business for myself with support systems in place to ensure that I wouldn’t be by myself. It would have been very easy to Jerry to just give me a list of franchise businesses to choose from but I appreciated his diligence in trying to fit each potential opportunity to my specific wants/needs and likes/dislikes.

JACK SWIFT Builder of High Performing B2B Sales Teams

“I was traveling across the country working in corporate sales and one day I realized that I didn’t want to travel anymore! That’s when I began to think about owning my own business. I began working with my Career Ownership Coach who helped me begin my Journey of Discovery. For me, it was a great process. I was learning about what excited and motivated me, but also what didn’t! That was just as important. I am so happy I went on the “journey,” and was also happy to have my coach along with me. He was a very good listener. He was genuinely interested in my long-term success. and he challenged me to see some things I didn’t even see in myself.”

LEE PUTNAM, New Business Owner

“I had worked for 15 years in the world of corporate finance when I was forced to make a sudden exit. I had always thought to myself, I have this great corporate job, I’m on easy street. But I was really in the wrong place at the wrong time. I had no control over my own destiny. My Career Ownership Coach helped me take a close look at Franchising to achieve self-sufficiency.  Franchising was a better choice for me rather than starting a business from the ground up. I have a good sense of how things should run and customer service but I tend not to be strong on the sales side and frankly, I am not the stereotypical idea-man. A franchise is giving you the playbook, and you have a product. In my mind a lot of the basics have been built, you just need to follow the proven system. When friends are approaching those exit ramps in life, the first thing I tell them to do is to connect with a Career Ownership Coach at The Entrepreneur’s source.”

ANDREW BROWN, New Business Owner

“The first time I met with my coach, I didn’t think I would walk out with a popcorn stand…Throughout my career, I never once dreamed I’d be in the place I’m in now. I thank E-Source for helping guide me.”

BILL BENTZ, New Business Owner

“Being an entrepreneur was always an idea in my head, but to be honest, I thought when I got to the point in my life that I had a family, that that ship had sailed. My wife and I met with our Career Ownership Coach and found The Entrepreneur’s Source® to be a valuable tool throughout our discovery process. Now, as a business owner I have not only raised nearly $1 million dollars for schools in my community, but I work hard, and I get the flexibility to do what I want to do when I want to do it.”
