Protégé to Pro is a digital destination created by Corporate Sales Leader turned Entrepreneur, Brittany Willis, MBA, to arm entrepreneurs and career professionals with Fortune 500 knowledge. Podcast topics, webinars, and digital course content will span Franchising, Small Business Management, and Career.
After successfully opening her coffee shop franchise in early 2021, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brittany became emboldened to share what she has learned throughout her corporate career and as an entrepreneur/franchise owner in order show others the path forward.
The first Protégé to Pro offering came in the form of digital course, "So, You Want to Open a Franchise?", that is designed to help potential franchisees evaluate whether they should or can pursue a franchise opportunity. The course material details what potential franchise owners should know prior to discussing opportunities with a franchisor, provides first-hand detail on the realities of franchise ownership, and devotes significant time to the financial aspect of the brick and mortar franchising to ensure preparedness.
Protégé to Pro has expanded into a podcast on the Ebony Covering Black America Podcast Network.
