Crestcom Named a Top 100 Franchise for Veterans by Franchise Business Review
Crestcom was identified by an independent research firm, Franchise Business Review, as a 2025 Top Franchise for Veterans. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.
To identify the companies on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Veterans, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 2,100 franchise owners representing 365 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.
Crestcom’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.
The Crestcom franchise is for the professional who wants to make a difference in people’s lives by fulfilling the mission of developing great leaders around the world. It is for those individuals choosing the path that leads to profit with purpose. Since its inception in 1987, Crestcom’s leadership development programs have delivered sustained behavior change and measured value to its clients.
Manny Martinez, a Crestcom Area Representative and Franchise Owner in Washington State, joined the Crestcom network after a 30-year career in the U.S. Air Force. He explains, “I stayed in the military for 30 years. It was a great experience. I climbed the ladder of elite leadership all the way to the top, which was an honor and a privilege, and I became a leader of people. And my job was to empower people to develop people, to give them the tools and skills to get to the next level, empowering teams as well. And as I finished my career in the service, I thought, how can I continue doing just that? How can I continue to pour into the lives of others so that they can achieve their highest potential? And from that, I decided to become an authorized Crestcom franchise owner.”
Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. “Veterans exploring franchise ownership have many options to choose from, but it’s not always easy to know which brands truly deliver,” said Eric Stites, founder & CEO of Franchise Business Review. “While many franchises advertise incentives for veterans, what matters most is the experience after the contract is signed.”
Crestcom’s President and CFO, Julie Draguns, accepted the award, stating, “Crestcom is committed to working hard to ensure the success of our franchisees. We are proud to say our impressive network of franchisees includes many military veterans. We thank them for their service, and we are thrilled to be recognized by Franchise Business Review.”
Earlier last year, Crestcom was also recognized by Franchise Business Review as a Top Franchise for Culture, a Top Franchise for Women, and a Top Low-Cost Franchise.
About Crestcom International
Crestcom International, LLC, is an international leadership development organization that has trained over one million leaders for 30,000 businesses in 60 countries worldwide. Crestcom does this through a unique blend of live-facilitated multimedia video, interactive exercises, and shared learning experiences, followed by action plans and accountability sessions to ensure measured development in key leadership competency areas.
Through our work as a Crestcom franchise, and as an Area Developer, we have enjoyed being our own boss with an organization that supports being active in the community, both professionally and as a private citizen. Blending that with the companies and participants we help is incredibly rewarding.
I truly love my experience as a Crestcom franchisee (and Area Representative) for many reasons: It allows me to develop leaders of consequence in my region. It allows me the independence and flexibility to pursue my passions and hobbies while earning a good living. It allows me to help others become better at their jobs. I have a positive impact on the lives (both personal and professional) of those that participate in the program.
Crestcom is perfectly aligned with my passion to help others develop leadership skills and help businesses get the most from their people. I enjoy meeting business leaders in my community and throughout the state of Indiana, helping them with their leadership challenges. I also enjoy every aspect of building my own business. Pride of ownership and building a valuable business is extremely motivating to me.
Crestcom has allowed me to pursue my personal passion of developing people into better individuals. I have had opportunities to engage in conversations with community business and organizations in ways that I never would have dreamed. I am on a mission to make my community a better place. Crestcom is the vessel that allows for these conversations to take place. When we make people into better leaders at work, they become better at home and within their communities. These are life skills, not just leadership development skills.
Joining Crestcom was the best decision I made in my professional life. I had not expected that there's so much to learn about myself, that there's so much opportunity to grow personally and also I didn't have a clue how good it feels to get up every morning, being my own boss and knowing "today I make a difference." I love being part of the Crestcom family.
