From the C-Suite to the Fairway: A FranCoach Client Tees Up a New Chapter with Tee Box

on

After more than 35 years leading manufacturing, operations, and supply chain teams at the highest levels — most recently as Chief Supply Chain Officer at Johnsonville, where he ran end-to-end operations for a $2B+ business across 11 manufacturing facilities — this client was ready for a new kind of challenge: building something of his own.

Mr. S (as we will call him) came to FranCoach and coach Matt Woodcock looking for a business with the security and systems that come from a proven franchise concept, paired with the kind of service-oriented, customer-facing business where his decades of leadership, operational excellence, and team development could really shine. Based in the Orlando market, he wanted an opportunity he could run hands-on while building long-term enterprise value — and he had the financial resources and data-driven mindset to back it up.

That search led to Tee Box, a natural fit for an avid golfer with a deep appreciation for company culture and core values. He connected with the brand immediately, and after seeing Tee Box’s proven business model and the tools and support behind it, Brett and his wife felt confident they’d found an opportunity built to thrive in the Windermere, FL market. 

“Tee Box was a natural fit for Mr. S.,” said Matt Woodcock, Mr. S’s FranCoach coach. “As an avid golfer, he immediately connected with the company, its culture, and its core values. The team provided my client with an incredible set of tools and a proven business model that they both agreed would thrive in the Windermere, FL market. I’m excited to see this couple put their passion for golf and the Tee Box opportunity together to build something special!”

Whether you’re coming from the C-suite or somewhere else entirely, FranCoach is here to help you find a business that matches your skills, passions, and goals — reach out and let’s start the conversation.

“You have nothing to lose by having a conversation with FranCoach. Worst-case scenario, you discover you don’t want to touch this with a ten-foot pole. But best case, you figure out, hey this might be something for me and there are some possibilities here.”

Stephen, Arizona

“I remember when I first started exploring the idea of franchises and I found the Franchising 101 Podcast. I just got hooked. There were such good snippets of information and I started eating through them and listening to them all the time.”

Geoff, Pennsylvania

“The conversation we had, just on that first call, when you said, ‘Tell more about Ryan, what flips your switch, what gets you out of bed in the morning’… it was really important to me to know those things upfront.”

Ryan, Alabama

“One of the lessons that I learned very quickly was to focus on what is driving you as an individual. What makes you get up, and what do you want to get up and do every day?”

George, Pennsylvania

“If you have questions, if you want answers, or if you’re not sure if it’s for you – there’s no reason not to reach out to FranCoach.”
