About Us

The Mission of Knabb Consulting is to equip entrepreneurs to Create, Grow, and Scale business so the families and local communities have choice and opportunities to grow their Personal Economy.
This is achieved through offering franchise research services, strategic referral groups that come with business-growth tools and trainings, and through business scaling and coaching services. Every business goes through cycles of Create, Grow, and Scale. Catherine Knabb used to create solutions and lead projects for corporations to achieve these same types of objectives. Now she does it for Small Business.

GROW BUSINESS
Many certified franchise consultants do, in fact, become franchisees themselves. As Catherine Knabb, owner of Knabb Consulting, learned about all the franchise brands in the inventory, Network in Action (NIA) stood out as a business model that adds value to existing businesses. The following GROW services are provided as part of three franchise units purchased and nested into Knabb Consulting, Network in Action Memphis/Virtual offerings.
NIA Membership Exclusive – Memphis – The paid membership in the NIA Vision Builders group meets on 2nd Tuesdays in Person, enjoys exclusivity by industry, and benefits from an ROI guarantee and all the normal Network in Action member benefits, including business growth trainings and tools.
NIA Membership Exclusive – Online – The paid membership in the NIA Visionaries group meets on 2nd Thursdays via Zoom, focuses on businesses that can serve clients and businesses anywhere and enjoys ROI guarantees and all the normal NIA benefits.
NIAX Membership Exclusive – Memphis – The exclusive paid membership in the NIAX Memphis group enjoys exclusivity by industry and all the normal NIA benefits. The member can have the ROI guarantee or have some flexibility in the attendance policies because referrals coming into the group are boosted by consumer-based referrals.
NIAX Membership Non-Exclusive – Memphis – The non-exclusive paid membership in the NIAX Memphis group enjoys all the normal NIA benefits. They also can be flexible with attendance because referrals come into the group from consumer-based referrals for a rev share when the referrals result in closed, paid business for the member.
KCNIA Networking Socials – Free networking socials are regularly provided so that NIA/NIAX members can meet other business owners and reps who cannot join one of the NIA groups.
