About

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗢: I’m a franchise coach. I work with people that are interested in franchise ownership and I guide them through the somewhat complicated, oftentimes overwhelming process of finding the right business opportunity. I have been around franchising since 2006. I’ve seen and done it all. In my years as a coach, I’ve helped hundreds of clients find the right opportunity for them and their families. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗗𝗢 𝗜𝗧: Well, there’s no magic formula, no special algorithm. It comes down to this: I listen. I spend time with you and get to know you as best as I can. I want to learn about your goals and ambitions as well as your fears. All of this helps me and the rest of my team find just the right franchise for you. Typically, this discovery process takes about 3-months. Some take less and some take longer. But whatever it takes, I'll be along for the ride. 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦: Our company takes the long view. Not only will we be there to help you through finding opportunities of interest, but we’ll coach you through the entire discovery process. Yes, this even includes helping you find the best financing options for your new endeavor.

He put in the work to understand my situation and wants while whittling down the opportunities and fine tuning the businesses that he presented to me. Matt is very consultative and I find that our conversations are thought provoking. He is truly interested in getting his clients into the right franchise for them and in their success.

In 2012 I transitioned Digital Doc (originally launched in 2010) into a franchise organization. As a franchisor I created training programs, marketing strategies, vendor relationships, real estate development processes and other systems to support our franchisees. I also created and implemented a successful franchise development process to grow Digital Doc to more than 30 territories sold. In addition I secured a development deal with Wal-Mart to open Digital Doc franchise stores within their Super Centers. This growth and success was made possible by the talented and dedicated Digital Doc team.

Digital Doc LLC

In 2010 I launched the first Digital Doc in Owensboro, KY. Digital Doc originally started as a battery company. After having several clients request a battery replacement within their iPhones and noticing many of these devices were broken, I realized there was a larger opportunity to pursue. After several months of planning and research, Digital Doc was born. I created relationships with vendors in China to supply our parts, designed the layout of our storefront, researched third-party Point of Sale systems and created marketing strategies to build market awareness. I developed relationships with school districts throughout the State of Kentucky to repair their devices as schools transitioned to a 1:1 program with their students in which each student was provided a laptop or tablet. I sold the first two Digital Doc stores shortly after Franchising the concept in order to focus on growth and supporting our franchisees.
