"Gold Medal Business fully understands our business based on her own many years of experience with a children’s activity business, including struggles and how to navigate them, what to implement and when etc etc. It can be quite overwhelming as a business owner at times but Katie is always there as a sounding board and to make you feel better. Katie’s support team when needed are also fab. If you have a children’s activity business I would highly recommend working with Katie."

Two Ways To Work With Us

FOR FRANCHISORS

Mentorship for You, the CEO of the Franchise, and Your Leaders

Many franchisors have a strong model, but as the network grows, processes and systems often need updating. The market moves fast, and while things are changing, the model does not always keep pace.

What this looks like:

  • We study your model.

  • We look at every system and process you have in place, from leadership and sales to financials, marketing, team, and everything in between.

  • You get a mentor who understands your franchise and the industry.

  • A 10-mile exclusivity for your franchise. For example, if you run a football preschool business, we will not work with another football preschool franchise in the same area.

  • A safe space for you, the CEO, and your franchise leaders to get the internal support you need to ensure you are providing the best possible support for your business to thrive.

FOR FRANCHISEES

Bring Gold Medal Membership to Your Franchisees

We work with franchisees and entire franchise networks, providing practical coaching, training and accountability that complements your existing support.

We support your franchisees with the key areas that drive growth, from leadership and team building to sales, marketing, systems and profitability.
