I have known John and Julie Sanders for the past three years and in that time I have gotten to know them on a professional and personal level.
It is very rare to meet people that have the interest of others as a priority and not the lining of their pocket. John and Julie have a very unique and caring nature, and have never tried to force a sale to me or the other franchisees that they had.
I first met John when I inquired into buying into the Jim’s Group and from our very first conversation on the phone I knew that I was talking to someone professional, very knowledgeable, passionate and most of all trustworthy.
Before John and I spoke about costs John made sure that if I decided to purchase into the business that I would be able to move forward. (How many others care about you after the sale has taken place) well with John and Julie the support and coaching was and still is there today.
After purchasing the business I got to know John and Julie in a more personal manner and found that not only do they actually care about their clients but they will and have gone well out of their way to ensure that they succeed.
As a mentor John is always willing to help in any way possible, his knowledge of the system is second to none and his ability to solve problems is incredible. His honesty is possibly the greatest asset that he posses and if ever I was to go into partnership with someone he would be the only person I would consider.
John has the ability to speak in public with just as much ease as speaking one on one.
It is my opinion that John and Julie together can achieve anything that they want whether it is at work or in their personnel lives.John also has an amazing ability to think outside the box and is always coming up with ways to improve systems/methods where others may have given up.
As a professional acquaintance and a personnel friend of John and Julie I would not hesitate in the slightest in saying that I have not yet met a couple with the values, and professionalism that they posses.
When John and Julie approached me and told me that they were selling their business it was as if I had a close friend pass away I was devastated as I did not believe that the next person coming in would be the same supportive and honest person, as it turned out John and Julie offered me the business not at the amazing price that they could have gotten but at a price that they knew I could afford, this to me speaks volumes as they believed that I would continue to build the business as they had started, the care and willingness to loose money to keep what they had started going is simply unheard of.
As a coach/mentor, and a friend one would have to go an extremely long way to find such people.
