Linda Cayle possesses a passion for helping people realize their dreams of business ownership. As a franchise consultant, she is committed to matching prospective buyers to the ideal franchise opportunities available nationwide. She accomplishes this precise task by using a proven method of extracting every attribute that her prospective buyers possess. With an instinct for interpersonal communication, Linda graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Business-to-Business Communications. Her focus became the company/client relationship and how companies can provide clients a unique and extraordinary experience, making them industry leaders.
Linda’s innate ability to make successful connections between people and departments within an organization led her to Manpower, a multinational human resource consulting firm providing recruitment and assessment, training and development, career management, outsourcing, and workforce consulting. Recognized for her talents, she was quickly promoted to On-site Manager at one of Manpower’s largest accounts, Brady Corporation. She managed over 150 employees, from custodians to attorneys, and was awarded the Beacon Award for the highest retention rate of her temporary employee staff.
Since 2000, Linda has had a keen sense of understanding people’s needs and a desire for business ownership. Linda worked for five years as a FranChoice consultant during the pioneering stages, beginning in year 2000. In 2005, Linda and her husband, Marc Cayle, who is also a FranChoice consultant, bought, developed and sold their top ten and award wining, three-territory Comfort Keepers franchise. Linda’s combined experience in owning a franchise as well as being a franchise consultant has provided her the insights and clear realization of what it takes to educate others in becoming a franchise owner. She understands numerous aspects of franchise ownership including financials, ideal demographics, employee recruitment and retention and building a sustainable culture.
Linda understands the difference between leaders and contenders in the franchise industry and has a keen sense when it comes to the candidate– consultant relationship and what is necessary in order to make the perfect match between buyer and franchisor. Her sharp listening skills, broad knowledge and discriminating judgment in the franchise industry are paramount in helping people control their destiny and realize their dream of becoming independent business owners. Linda currently resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with her husband, two children and two dogs. She relishes family time, traveling, cruising with other yacht club members to explore the Michigan and Wisconsin coasts, volunteering for various fundraisers, and living a life that the freedom of business ownership affords.
With over 25 years of experience in franchising, including roles as a franchisor, multi-unit franchisee, and franchise consultant, Marc has had the privilege of being part of exceptional opportunities that have elevated the customer experience. His passion lies in leading teams, surrounding himself with extraordinary people, and executing plans to make things happen. Throughout Marc’s career, he has been recognized with awards such as Businessman of the Year and multiple accolades for gross revenue, low turnover, and operational excellence achievements.
Before diving into researching franchise concepts, it’s crucial to ensure that you are a good fit for this path. Together, Marc’s candidates will determine if entrepreneurship is their true calling and that they’re not just a “want-trepreneur.” By working together, Marc can successfully match you with the perfect franchise opportunity. He has helped hundreds of individuals find their ideal business ownership path, and he is committed to ensuring you ask the right questions to the right people at the right time, so you have all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Having walked in your shoes, Marc can relate to your aspirations. He had a successful run with a franchise that resulted in a very profitable exit, and he can show you how to achieve the same for yourself. Franchise models allowed him to focus on working on the business rather than being tied down by working in it, leading to a fantastic work-life balance. Thanks to this approach, he never missed important family events like games, gymnastics meets, or boating trips.
Prior to entering the world of franchising, Marc attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his entrepreneurial spirit has been with him ever since. Even while working for other companies, he consistently nurtured side businesses to build wealth and create a lasting legacy for his family.
