Crestcom Leadership

When you are evaluating a franchise, culture is everything. Crestcom has been named to Franchise Business Review's 2026 Culture100 list, one of only 100 brands recognized for having the best franchise cultures based on surveys of over 29,000 franchise owners.

This is what it looks like when franchisees genuinely love what they do.

Crestcom has been named one of Entrepreneur magazine's 2026 Top Franchises for Less Than $100,000, and we could not be more proud.

Out of thousands of franchises evaluated, only 100 made the list. This kind of recognition does not happen by accident. It is the result of nearly 40 years of showing up for our franchise owners and the leaders they serve.

If you have ever thought about owning a business that actually makes a difference, this is worth a look.

John Register lost his leg training for the Olympics. He went on to become a Paralympic silver medalist. His secret was not certainty. It was the decision to take the next step anyway.

He calls it "Amputate to Elevate" and it applies directly to how leaders make decisions under pressure. Cut what is holding you back. Move forward with what remains.

Sometimes you hold off on a decision because you don’t feel fully sure yet. The problem is that the feeling of being 100% certain rarely comes. The 40–70 rule is a simple way to move forward. Get enough information, make the call, and adjust if needed.

We walk through this and other practical tools you can use in your work and day-to-day in our eBook, "Empowerment is a Competitive Advantage."

Helping your team too much can make them more dependent. Talking more does not always increase your influence. And holding on too tightly can take away someone else's sense of ownership. Most leaders are never really taught this. They figure it out over time, usually by feeling the weight of it first.

Come spend two hours with us. Our leadership Skills Workshop can improve how your team thinks, acts, and takes ownership in just two hours. Spots are limited.

John Register was training for the Olympics when a missed hurdle changed everything. Instead of letting it end his athletic career, he made the decision to amputate his leg and came back as a Paralympic silver medalist.

Now he's sharing what that experience taught him about leadership. New episode of The Leadership Habit hosted by Jenn DeWall is out now.

Most communication breaks down for a simple reason. The person sending it is focused on what they want to say, not what they want the other person to do. That is where things get missed.

A Canadian client in the electrical distribution industry worked on this in the Influence With Intention module and applied it right away with their team. Conversations became more direct. Expectations were clearer. Follow-through improved.

Real leaders. Real results.
