Franchise Business Consultant
Pam was absolutely amazing to work with throughout this journey. I have worked with other franchise consultants before Pam and most were just worried about making a commission and promoting whatever franchises were hot at the time. Pam was the only person that truly listened to my passion and my purpose, and was able to match me with an emerging franchise that has become an incredible opportunity and my new career path moving forward. I cannot thank her enough for her time and attention to detail and understanding that passion and purpose must be aligned in order to have true happiness and work life balance. I would truly recommend Pam to anyone looking into new business franchise opportunities.
Pamela did a fantastic job of finding the right franchise opportunity for us. She offered in-depth consultation and was extremely prompt and diligent in providing us with all the information we needed to make this decision. I strongly recommend working with Pamela to anyone considering a franchise opportunity.
Pam was a great help and worked hard to help provide the guidance I needed when considering a Franchise purchase. She answered all my questions but more importantly, provided leadership and guidance on what was important to consider with any franchise purchase. I ultimately decided to purchase a Franchise and am very happy with the guidance provided. There could have been potential pitfalls had Pam not made herself available for a multitude of calls and questions. I would highly recommend Pamela as a Franchise consultant because of her knowledge in the industry, leadership, and willingness to help and support her clients.
wesome experience! I love working with Pam. She’s knowledgeable, patient and just a all around good person. We wanted to start a business, was intrested in franchising but had no clue as to where to start. Pam took it from there. She told us about many good companies and there backgrounds and helped us choose the one that was a good fit for us. She connected us with the franchisor we chose and now we are on our way! Thanks Pam! I would definitely recommend Pam.
We loved working with Pamela Currie. She is very experienced and made our decision making process a lot less stressful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a franchise opportunity.
I was paired up with Pamela Currie and she was nothing short of amazing. I walked into this venture with very little knowledge about Franchising in general. Even through my millions of questions, she didn’t seem one bit perturbed. We went back to the drawing board a multitude of times because I couldn’t find the right fit, but not a single complaint from Pam. I received nothing but pleasant greetings, additional research on alternative business Ideas, and prompt responses on any questions or updates. I cannot recommend enough, but more specifically Pam. If you are on the fence just do it. There is no risk and even More so, you might just find an amazing opportunity.

Franchise Business Consultant
I owe a huge thank you to Shari Currie Skjoldager, CAFC, CFC, for her exceptional guidance in my franchise journey. Shari was instrumental in my decision to select the Mr. Rooter franchise, and she provided incredible support and expertise over a meticulous seven-month process. We explored and analyzed many different franchisees, and Shari’s insights were crucial in helping us confidently settle on Mr. Rooter. Her amazing ability to connect me with a wide range of people who played vital roles in my journey. I initially connected with Shari through the Brian Beers franchise community, which deserves its own strong recommendation. The depth of knowledge, resources, and connections within that community is simply outstanding. Working with Shari was an complete honor, and I’m so grateful for the smooth navigation she provided.
Shari Skjoldager led us through the franchise process step by step. Her guidance and direction helped us navigate through some difficult times, which we didn’t have with other franchise consultants; that let us know what a true gem we had having her as our consultant. There were times when we felt she went beyond her required duties for us. We appreciated her professionalism, consistency, and integrity. Shari is indeed a rare breed today and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a franchise consultant.
Shari was excellent to work with. She was very patient and knowledgeable and helped me discover a great franchise opportunity, which I would not have found on my own. I am very grateful that our paths crossed! Shari is a great listener and helped me find a great franchise that aligns with my passions and interests. I was originally looking at one type of franchise in my area, but I had moved states and we had to start from scratch in the new location. Shari quickly had 3 franchises that probably would have all worked out, I just had a better gut feeling for the one we ended up choosing. Shari has lots of experience and I trusted her judgment throughout the process.
I knew that I wanted to own a franchise but didn’t really know where to begin. I was contacted by Shari Skjoldager. Shari was absolutely amazing to work with. She listened to my interests and presented me with a selection of franchises perfect for me. I selected my favorite company, and Shari guided me through the entire process! I can tell that Shari really cared about helping me achieve my goals. I’m so glad that I got the chance to work with such a caring, intelligent, and responsive professional.
I highly recommend Shari Skjoldager as your franchise broker. We came to Shari following a recommendation of a friend of ours after dealing with brokers that were more concerned about recommending the franchise that had the highest commission for them rather than what was best for us. They were in it just for the money and that was obvious from the first encounter. Dealing with Shari was a breath of fresh air. She takes her time however long you need and goes through the process of really working to find out your strengths and what will be the best fit for you. She cares a lot about her clients and it shows just by the number of referrals she gets from former clients including us. Give Shari a try and you will not regret it.
Working with Shari has truly been a great experience! From our very first conversation, she helped me set realistic expectations and put together a plan that matched my timeline and goals of becoming a franchisee. We explored several options together, and she really helped me define what the right choices out there were. She takes the time to truly learn about the franchises she represents, and that knowledge carries over to you when you’re exploring what might be the right fit. Throughout the whole process, her communication, support, and experience made it so much easier to understand my options and make informed decisions. I felt confident at every step because I knew she was in my corner. Now, as an official business owner, I can honestly say Shari played a huge role in making this journey smoother and less overwhelming. I’m really grateful for her guidance and support.
