The Corner Booth Difference
Corner Booth Franchise Coaching was built on a simple belief: the most important career decisions deserve time, clarity, and real conversation.
Corner Booth is more than a name. It’s a metaphor for how we work. It’s the place where people slow down, speak honestly, and think things through without pressure. That’s exactly the experience we create for professionals who find themselves at a crossroads – knowing something needs to change, but wanting confidence before taking the next step.
Today, Corner Booth is a growing team of franchise coaches who guide individuals through the exploration of business ownership. Our role is not to “sell” a franchise. Our role is to help clients determine if franchising is right, when it’s right, and which opportunity truly fits their life, goals, and values.
A More Personal Way to Explore Franchising
Many franchise advisory models focus on speed and transactions. Corner Booth was intentionally built differently.
We take a human-centered approach – listening first, asking better questions, and helping clients gain clarity before decisions are made. Because in franchising, fit matters. The right opportunity isn’t just about the brand or the numbers. It’s about timing, lifestyle, investment comfort, and what success actually looks like for you.
Our team brings deep knowledge of the franchising landscape, combined with a coaching mindset that supports clients through every phase of the journey, from early exploration through informed decision-making.
Our Role in Your Journey
We see franchising as an exploration, not a pitch.
Sometimes that exploration leads to a clear opportunity. Sometimes it leads to the realization that now isn’t the right time – or that franchising isn’t the right path at all. Both outcomes are wins when they’re grounded in clarity and confidence.
At Corner Booth, we’re honored to be a guide and sounding board during these pivotal moments – helping clients define what they want next, and how to move toward it with intention.
Harris’ Story: From Crossroads to Corner Booth
I know firsthand what it feels like to be at a crossroads in your career.
I started my career in the family business, and when the stock market crashed in 2008, I was at a loss as I figured out my next step. Which, in turn, caused me to grab onto the first role that came along in the corporate world – where I felt completely lost at sea. (When you don’t have a specific course set, any port will do…but only for a short while!)
Fortunately, I learned a lot about partnership, entrepreneurship, and career coaching along the way. And I also learned a lot about what I wanted for my own life. So, when a mentor in my network opened the door for an opportunity for me to help coach others at a crossroad in their journey, I realized that the life I was looking for was looking for me too!
And that choice and this road has allowed me to live ALL of my passions, including more time with my wife and three children, as well as time to volunteer for the charities close to my heart. (I serve as an auctioneer for a range of charities throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region and have helped raise over $3M – so feel free to ask me WHY auctioneers talk so fast!)
I feel privileged, every day, to help others create the life THEY want. I see the franchise process as an “exploration” in which I serve as a guide, sounding board, and trusted advisor. I know that franchising isn’t for everyone – and a big part of the exploration process is determining ifand when it is right. But when the opportunity is right (meaning the right concept, the right time, and the right investment amount), the right door is opened and lives are changed.
I look forward to learning more about what would make an opportunity right for you – and to starting our exploration together!
