Jessica Houston
The first thing you will learn about Jessica Houston is how much she loves helping people. As a franchise consultant, Jessica works tirelessly to help her candidates find a franchise that is the perfect fit for them. She is committed to spending as much time, energy and effort as it takes to help her candidates reach their personal and professional goals. As a franchise consultant, Jessica is an expert at helping simplify the complex, and assisting her candidates in navigating the world of franchise ownership.
Jessica is no stranger to business ownership and the rewards afforded by going after your dreams. She has worked on both sides of franchises, both owning a franchise and working for a franchisor. The experience provided her with a deep understanding of the industry and what makes a great business and business owner. Jessica and her husband also started several family businesses including two successful marketing businesses and a start-up boutique recruiter firm that converted to a franchise. Working with start-ups made her appreciate the guidance and systems that a franchise provides.
In addition to entrepreneurial experience, Jessica paid her dues in the corporate world in education and software sales. Surviving multiple buyouts, restructuring, closures, and the roller coaster ride of Corporate America made her even more motivated to helping others escape the rat race and get their freedom.
