"If you want to talk to one of the best minds in franchising, call Joe Mathews from Franchise Performance Group. I have sold a few franchises myself over the years, and I have yet to see an idea or theory FPG espouses that I do not personally agree with… in fact I may have stolen a few of their ideas over the years. If I am being honest, luckily Joe is as nice as he is smart and hasn’t sued me yet! Joe is one, if not the, best minds in franchising, he gets the basics, and the intricacies and knows how to effectively use his knowledge to get results… he is a rare breed one who can both teach and do."

"FPG was a passionate, creative, and flexible partner in helping TOGO'S to achieve its franchise sales goals."

"For more than 20+ years I have been extremely impressed with FPG’s franchise sales experience and results. Whether it’s generating leads, training franchise development teams, or executing in-house development roles, FPG delivers. Even more important than their performance, is that they do it the right way. The FPG team consistently behaves with integrity and class."

"Once our country began to get covid under control, I knew we, at Sandler, needed to jumpstart our new franchise acquisition process. I turned to Joe Mathews, and he and his FPG team were instrumental in helping us articulate our value as a franchise opportunity, generate leads, and running point on recruitment… resulting in high caliber new franchisee talent. Whether you need a restart or are looking to get your business to the next level, Joe and his talented team are the ones I would recommend for the job."

"In 2015 College Hunks hired FPG as a growth partner to accelerate franchisee recruitment. FPG helped establish College Hunks’ value proposition as a franchise opportunity. FPG developed and executed a lead generation and lead nurturing strategy, which created a breakthrough in lead generation results. FPG designed a franchisee recruitment process and staffed with 2 full-time FPG recruiters and a fractional department leader."

"Based on one of our partner's previous experiences with FPG, we brought in FPG to evaluate our franchisee recruitment tactics from stem to stern. We were happy with the actionable information provided and plan on using FPG on an ongoing basis."

 "We brought in FPG to evaluate our content and systems against industry best practices. We implemented their advice and took other necessary actions, and are now on track to meet or exceed objectives this year."

"I am pleased to write a recommendation for FPG and for Joe Mathews, a distinguished professional in the field of franchise sales and a thought leader whose insights have made a significant impact in the industry.
