Beyond just being a great franchise coach, Anna was an exceptional mentor to have as I looked at several franchise opportunities. She helped me navigate the franchise landscape with confidence, bringing an impressive level of knowledge about individual brands and the step-by-step realities of starting a business. She also have me tons of practical advice and connections that removed so many friction points.

Without Anna's guidance and coaching, I probably would have abandoned my search without closing on a franchise, but with her help I'm excited to be opening a business in the coming months. Five stars, without hesitation!

A Guiding Light in the Franchise World: Why Anna Dey, Owner of The franSPOT is a Must for Franchisees
Before connecting with Anna Dey at The franSPOT, I was completely overwhelmed. I had spent countless hours online researching various franchises, looking at online listings, and even considered launching my own business without a franchisee, but the sheer volume of information and conflicting advice left me utterly confused. Thankfully, Anna cleared up all this confusion and provided the clarity I desperately needed.

Anna's experience in the franchise industry is truly deep and broad; dare I say, she's seen it all with every possible franchisee model and owns multiple franchises herself. This extensive knowledge and owner’s perspective are invaluable, especially for someone like me who was a complete newbie. From the initial assessment, it was clear she took the time to genuinely understand my preferences, lifestyle, and goals. Our assessment call was incredibly insightful, and her ability to match me with suitable opportunities was first-class.

What truly sets Anna apart is her unwavering support and genuine honesty, which are simply unmatched. It's evident that franchisees love working with her – when I received referrals or franchisee calls, they responded almost immediately. And if there was ever a slight delay, Anna was right there, following up on my behalf. This built trust that she was in my corner all the way.

If you're new to the world of franchising, engaging with Anna is an absolute must. Even if you have prior experience, I'm confident you'll gain new insights and forge connections you never knew were possible. The world would undoubtedly be a better place with more professionals like Anna Dey and organizations like The franSPOT. Anna is an incredible person, and I fully trust that she will make the best recommendation for you. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating the complexities of franchise ownership.

It is hard to describe the total value that Anna brings to the table. Her experience with multiple franchise brands, her insight into what type of franchise is a good fit, and your own experiences in owning franchises are just some of the elements she brings. She is very engaging but not pushy which makes the process so much easier for individuals just entering the market. I would suggest Anna to anyone that is trying to navigate in the franchise waters.

Anna is a powerhouse in the world of franchising—sharp, intuitive, and deeply invested. She doesn’t just listen—she gets you. From day one, she guided us with care, speed, and insight. Within weeks, she matched us with the perfect fit.

Funny enough, we initially passed on the concept. But Anna encouraged us to take another look—and she was right. We’re now thriving because we love the brand, we understand the model, and it aligns perfectly with who we are and the life we want to lead. We get to live our dream and be present with our kids.

We’re celebrating our grand opening after a wildly successful soft launch, and it’s all thanks to Anna’s thoughtful approach and trusted network. She’s the real deal. We’ll absolutely be back when it’s time for the next one.

Anna is the best!
We've been working with her for several months to explore franchise opportunities that align with our family’s goals. From the beginning, she took the time to truly understand our personal and financial needs. She introduced us to industries we hadn’t even considered, some of which turned out to be an even better fit than we imagined. Her knowledge, patience, and dedication made the entire process feel approachable and empowering. We can’t say enough great things about her—she’s been an incredible guide every step of the way!

Let me start by saying Anna is amazing!! I am a first time business owner here in California and had originally tried acquiring a Vitamin Shoppe. Long story short Vitamin Shoppe screwed me out of a lot of my money. I felt defeated, and felt that franchising was not for me due to my failure, but through great suffering comes strength, wisdom, and amazing people like Anna! Anna helped me get back on the horse. Please note she is not a therapist in any way, so please don't come to her with personal issues..lol, but that is the type of person she is. If you work with her she will take the time to get to know you and will take the time to understand what you want in a franchise. Anna has a knack for connecting you with the right business. She if very knowledgeable franchise owner herself so she's not just a consultant she's a successful business owner with years of experience. Anna has given me hope in that franchising doesn't have to be a scary experience, and I would gladly recommend her to anyone looking into franchising.

Anna is TERRIFIC! She's a ball of fire and energy. Working with Anna, I felt she was truly invested in my success in order to find a franchise that was right for me. She's very knowledgeable, being a franchisee herself and even though she's relatively new to brokering, it felt like she is long-experienced at it. Anna made herself available as needed - always prompt to return messages. She spent lots of time with me, asking meaningful questions to help ensure matching me with a good brand and one that I would be comfortable operating. She also had answers to all my questions, again, making me comfortable with the process. I highly recommend working with Anna Dey at the franSPOT if you're interested in finding a franchise business to get into.

Working with Anna was an absolute game-changer for us. Owning a franchise was something we had dreamed about for a long time but never thought was truly possible. From our very first meeting, Anna took the time to understand what mattered most to us and presented several different concepts—which were fantastic. One, in particular, stood out, and we knew it was the perfect fit.

Anna’s industry knowledge, guidance, and support showed us how we could turn our dream into reality. She was incredibly informative, helpful, and always had our best interests in mind. Thanks to her expertise and insight, we’re now opening our own franchise—something we once thought was out of reach.

If you’re considering franchising, we highly recommend working with Anna. She makes the process clear, attainable, and exciting!

There is no one I would have trusted to walk me through this franchise process other than Anna Dey. Anna wears many hats and is equally successful in every endeavor, but franchise consultant appears to be her most suitable role yet. She knows the franchise business ins and outs and skillfully led us through our first time franchise purchase. She genuinely cares and wants to see others succeed. She’s available to answer questions.

If you’re curious or on the fence about starting up the process, choose Anna. She won’t lead you wrong nor will she pressure you to do something you are not comfortable with.
