The positive reviews can be overwhelming, but they are absolutely true. I was hesitant at first about speaking with someone about my franchise ideas but Blake made me feel comfortable immediately. The fact that his initial services are free of charge was surprising to me because he truly gave me well guided knowledge that helped me make decisions and even raised questions that I did not have at first. Starting any business can be difficult, but the world of franchising is on a much greater scale. There are lots of things to consider, but working with Blake has truly been a joy and I have been able to trust his guidance and mentorship. He will make sure you are making the best decision for you.

If you are considering starting your own business or purchasing a Franchise, I highly recommend Blake Martin. Blake is considerate, kind and very patient. He walked us through the steps, asked probing questions which really made us look within and asked questions of our sleeves as to what we really wanted to achieve. Blake is top notched and will have your best interest at heart. Blake is a mentor, coach and friend.hell help led you to the right decision and make the right connections.

Blake is exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive of the entrepreneur community. He is a great asset to the small business community. I have come to know Blake through many education and networking events. This summer I realized it was time for me to move in another direction. The first person I spoke with about my desire to own a franchise was Blake. The process he uses really helps dial in realistic opportunities that align with your goals, skills, background, and interests. Working with him through that process was an excellent experience. His friendly, helpful, and organized approach really made the whole experience fun. Blake is genuine. His insight and advice is valuable. I cannot imagine how challenging this effort would have been without Blake as my coach throughout the entire process. I am thankful for where I landed and know that I made a good decision. Blake was a real asset in my journey.

First off, I just want to say what a what a great person Blake is. Hes such a nice and thoughtful person, and it has been great working with him. For lack of a better word, he sells franchises, but what he actually does is guide, teach, inform, connect, and mentor people who are interested in the world of franchising. Sometimes that means people find out starting a franchise is not for them, but sometimes it does, and its his goal to help you figure that out. Hes very up-front about that. My wife and I enjoyed meeting with him and going through all the steps to see if this is what we wanted to do. All he asks is that you take it seriously and that youre honest with him. We decided not to move forward with a franchise at this time, but were so glad we went through the process and that we made a connection with Blake. If youve ever wondered about or wanted to start you own business (franchise or otherwise), I highly suggest talking with Blake at FranNet of the Heartland. Youve got nothing to lose and youll at least gain a new and valuable connection.-Tim Weak

I met Blake through a community networking group. I told him about a local opportunity that would help the local area franchise that I work for balance some work load, and he ran with this information. Blake found the perfect person to fit a unique niche with a new franchise, and in turn helped out an existing franchise. He is great at what he does, and he is who I would recommend any day of the week for someone looking to start a business!

Blake is an incredible resource for all things franchise related. He has a heart of gold which shows with each and ever interaction. He is the go to source, the best, and the only person I would talk to when investigating a franchise. Whether it is to buy a franchise or build one, Blake Martin with FranNet of the Heartland is my guy. Thank you for all of the time youve spent, educating me and those close to me.

After selling my company of 16 years, I was looking for a new opportunity. I wanted to continue down the path of business ownership but didnt want to start from scratch so I found Blake. Blake opened my eyes to the endless possibilities in franchising. He presented an array of business opportunities that he thought would fit my criteria as well as my skill set. Blake never pressured me into any decisions and was very punctual on his follow up. We had weekly phone conversations as he guided me through the process. There were no surprises in the journey of franchise ownership. Blake was upfront and honest about expectations and very knowledgeable about his franchises. I couldnt have had a better experience and Im looking forward to working with him again!

My wife and I had been looking into franchise ownership on our own and then we met Blake. He was a tremendous help in guiding us to understand each of our strengths and how those strengths would, and would not, mesh well as we worked together as a couple in a business. He then provided us with solid franchise business options that fit our strengths and operational criteria, and ultimately, he helped us land with a franchise that was the best fit for us. We hope to own multiple franchise concepts someday, and when we’re ready to discover our next adventure, the first person we’ll call is Blake. We highly recommend him.

Ive known Blake Martin for a couple of years. Youll be hard-pressed to find a more honest guy in any business. Blake absolutely knows his stuff forward and backwards when it comes to purchasing a franchise. Blake really cares about the quality of service he gives to his clients, and it absolutely shows. I really appreciate his low-pressure patience, honesty and patience in working closely with people one-on-one for long periods of time to make sure all the details are just right before pulling the trigger on a new business franchise purchase. Blake is extremely likable, and youll see the honesty glimmer in his eyes the moment you shake his hand. If youre looking to purchase a franchise, you absolutely need to talk to Blake Martin!

Blake Martin is not only a great business owner and an asset to the local business community but he is also a great person. He is extremely polite, professional and knowledgeable. Blake genuinely cares about looking out for peoples best interest whether that means working with him in starting a franchise or if it is not the right choice for them at the time. He has helped many people in transition either to franchise ownership or to a new career. If someone is looking to a career transition they owe it to themselves to at least have a conversation with Blake.

FranNet of the Heartland, owned and operated by Blake Martin, is a Godsend when it comes to the small business arena. I am fortunate to meet many people who are either in a state of transition, who are seeking a new opportunity, or are in need of insight from a business expert who can weigh in on the important points that business owners oftentimes need help with. Blake is an expert in all facets of business and is kind and understanding to those who seek his counsel. As a small business owner, I am thankful and proud to know I can confidently rely on Blake whether I refer someone to him or whether I need his help. If you or someone you know is interested in business ownership, Blake should be the first call you make.

I truly enjoyed working with Blake as he has a true, vested interest in his clients and provides a tailor-made experience. He takes a lot of time to get to know you, really listens and takes you through a self-discovery process that reveals what type of franchises are best for you. In addition, he gives you the education needed to know how the franchise world operates, is very patient and opens your mind to opportunities you may not have considered.I also took great comfort in knowing that FranNet doesnt just put any franchise in their network. Through rigorous analysis, their network contains franchises that have a proven track record of success, business models that are tried and true and abide by a code of good business ethics.Note: No compensation was given for this review.

My wife and I worked with Blake (Martin) and the FranNet proven process when we were considering business ownership. Blake was a professional during each interaction and is an expert at business. The process helped us better understand ourselves and business goals as a couple. If you have that urge to explore business ownership, Blake should be on your list to call. While we didn’t go through with franchise ownership at this time, we are in a much better place to take the leap in the near future. Thanks Blake, you are a blessing!

Blake has been nothing short of a true professional. During my transition from the Air Force after serving over 20 yrs, Blake was instrumental in helping me and my wife make informed decisions regarding franchising a business. I recommend Blake to anyone aspiring to start and/or grow a business.

Its nice to find someone that will take the time to give business advice even though theres nothing monetarily in it for himself. I had general questions of how to proceed with franchising my current business. Blake took a half hour of his time to explain it to me in a simple terms that I could understand and thus make the choices I need to make.

Blake was great to work with. He went through several assessments to help us narrow down what we really wanted from a business. Ultimately we did go another way however Blake truly helped us pull the trigger.

Blake along with FranNet and the system he uses helped me discover and find franchises to learn about. With the options he gave me, his knowledge of the franchise systems, I was able to purchase a PuroClean Franchise in Dec of 2016. Blake was very helpful in a process that can be very complex. Would recommend Blake and FranNet to anyone looking at a career change or going into business.

We really enjoyed working with Blake Martin at FranNet. Unlike others, Blake takes the time to fit your skillset/education/work experience to fit you with a franchise that will make both parties successful. Blake’s calm demeanor and intellect are refreshing as you make the difficult jump from working for someone to working on your own. I highly recommend working with Blake Martin at FranNet.Tracy Rohde
