After spending years as a top sales rep, then as a manager and then as a director, Elias worked hard to make companies successful. During this time, Elias started a company investing in real estate to help with income diversity. Years later, Elias and his wife took further control of their own destinies by purchasing a business. They made the leap and took over ownership of the North Georgia School of Ballet in Atlanta, Georgia. His wife's childhood dream had become a reality, and they worked tirelessly to make the studio a success. In just two years, they experienced 212% growth and created an amazing family of dancers. These experiences coupled with a degree in marketing; a master’s degree in finance; and a long, successful career in sales and sales management fueled his passion for helping others to find the franchise that was a perfect fit for their lifestyle and financial goals. He worked hard nationwide, and lived and worked throughout the country. He understood many of the nuances and challenges of urban and rural markets. Learn more about his trailblazing process for finding the perfect franchise at francaptain.com (coming soon.) Corey is married to his amazing wife, Bethany, and they have a beautiful daughter named Abilene. In his free time, Corey can be found on the tennis court, mentoring the Sandy Springs youth, traveling the world or at the dance studio pretending he has moves. <a href="https://www.francaptain.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-influencers-corey-elias-founder-franchise-broker-franchise-captain-2721327" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">About Franchise Captain</a>: There are thousands of excellent franchise opportunities available in the U.S. Buying a franchise affords people the huge advantage of a proven system while still being in business for themselves but not by themselves.
