A former franchisee, Michael Kiick has been on both sides of the fence.


Las Vegas, NV, October 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Michael Kiick has been named Director of Franchise Development at ActionCOACH. He has spent the last thirty years growing franchise companies in the food, automotive, and service industries.

Kiick is also a past franchisee, so he understands both sides of franchise development. His primary area of discipline is building relationships with the franchise community.

Kiick has long been active with a variety of franchise consultants, and has for many years been part of the guest speaking program with the International Franchise Association (IFA).

“Having spent three decades in the franchise industry, Michael brings huge value in terms of specialized knowledge and expertise in the world of franchising. He has also been a past franchisee and this gives him a broader outlook,” ActionCOACH founder and CEO Brad Sugars said.

When Sugars started ActionCOACH in 1993, business coaching was still in its infancy. Today, it is the second fastest growing industry, next only to IT. Sugars is often credited for this rapid growth. ActionCOACH has the largest share of the market and is the leader in business coaching.

The company is headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada.
