When Shareefa Long opened Exit Factor Buffalo, she knew she wanted more than just a business—she wanted a platform to empower other business owners. And within a few short months, she did exactly that.
In one standout month, Shareefa closed over $70,000 in consulting revenue—a milestone that highlights the potential of the Exit Factor franchise model when executed with focus and purpose.
This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a proof point for what’s possible when you combine Exit Factor’s proven systems with entrepreneurial drive.
What Drove This Level of Success?
Exit Factor’s franchise model helped Shareefa achieve a rapid and impactful launch by offering:
- A clear client path, from value growth assessments to exit strategy planning
- Strategic marketing support to attract qualified leads
- Strong community connections and referrals
- A structured coaching model to serve multiple clients simultaneously
By staying disciplined, leveraging the tools provided, and embracing the training, Shareefa transformed her consulting business into a powerful income engine.
Consulting Is More Than One-Off Sessions
A major benefit of the Exit Factor model is the recurring and project-based revenue.
Rather than one-off advisory calls, franchisees build long-term relationships with business owners who need:
- Ongoing strategy and performance coaching
- Assistance in preparing for acquisition or exit
- Valuation guidance and succession planning
These are high-trust relationships, meaning clients stay longer and pay for real results.
The Exit Factor Difference
While other coaching franchises offer general advice, Exit Factor hones in on a specific outcome: helping businesses grow in value and exit on their own terms.
This focused positioning leads to:
- Higher-impact work
- Easier sales conversations
- Strong word-of-mouth referrals
- Clear ROI for clients
For Shareefa, this clarity made all the difference. Clients didn’t just see her as a coach—they saw her as a strategic growth partner.
Real Results, Real Possibility
Exit Factor isn’t just about running a franchise—it’s about helping others unlock the full potential of their businesses. Shareefa’s $70K a month is a clear example of how this model empowers franchisees and their clients.
