        I worked directly with Ali at Global Franchise Group, and would highly recommend him.  Ali is a dedicated, hard working and loyal franchisee, who will go the extra mile to accomplish the goal.  While working with Ali, I was able to establish clear objectives and insight into projects that we worked on.  Ali did not hesitate to give feedback on projects, and was able to make clear and decisive decisions when needed.
