ActionCOACH turned my business around

When opportunity came knocking, I jumped at the chance to start up my own fencing business, Australian Unique Fencing. I discovered owning a business can be tough and over time, I was working 80-100 hour weeks. The business was totally disorganised with a team who weren’t the right fit for his business. I came across ActionCOACH turned my business around. Since I’ve worked with ActionCOACH my profit has increased by 400%! By implementing effective systems and procedures, I’ve cut my working hours in half. We overhauled the team and hired people who were right for the business. We’ve even opened another factory and are employing four more people. By getting an ActionCOACH, I’ve saved more money than I’ve spent and highly recommend getting a Coach.

ActionCOACH Changed My Family Business

Well established family business, TRJ Engineering has been operating for 32 years. I took the business over from my father 10 years ago and has been running it ever since. I found myself working more than 70 hours a week, having to focusing on the day-to-day operation of the business. I thought this was normal since this is how my father operated the business. I was highly strung and felt I was missing out on spending time with his family. At just the right time, I met ActionCOACH, Zed Morrey. I needed some new ideas and a change of direction for the business. After just 9 months of working with ActionCOACH, my sales have increased by 17% and profits have improved by an amazing 30%! The business is now highly structured and systemized. I am much more effective with my time and I’ve been able to pass these skills on to my 23 team members. As a result, I now choose to work a regular 5 day week and have a lot more time to spend with my family and kids. You just can’t put a price on that.

ActionCOACH Reduced My Working Hours By 30%

I have always had the desire to run my own business. Five years ago I realized I had a dream of owning my own business and purchased a Mortgage Choice franchise, helping clients to find the right home loans to suit their needs. Like many business owners, I was working long hours and felt like I was not reaping the rewards of owning my own business. The growth of my business was slow and frustrating. It didn’t matter how hard I worked, the results were not in proportion to my efforts. I was doing a lot of work I didn’t enjoy and my team was not operating effectively.Having already heard of ActionCOACH, I decided I needed to do something and contacted ActionCOACH, David Grunseit. Since I’ve been with ActionCOACH, I am more focused on the business and have clarity about exactly where I want to take it. I’ve hired 2 new team members, reduced my working hours by up to 30%, and there is now a renewed energy in the business and more excitement about achieving our goals.

Sales increased by 21% with ActionCOACH

I’m a qualified naturopath, acupuncturist, herbalist and message therapist. I went into business to help people improve their health, but after 20 years found the business had become disjointed with no future direction.That all changed once I met ActionCOACH, Steve Baker. Before I had an ActionCOACH, I was highly reactive and felt like all I was doing was putting out fires all day. Now I am far more focused than ever before. As a result, sales turnover has increased by 21%, I’ve bumped up my average dollar sale, have a better client retention rate, hired three new team members and fine tuned the business’ systems. ActionCOACH has made me more accountable and changed my life in so many ways. I have more time to spend with my family plus time to focus on building my business rather than working in it. The only way to achieve success in business is by having a coach … so do it!

ActionCOACH Saved My Business

Craig Ellis went into business for himself 16 years ago, and continues to build and grow on his well established smash repair company, Ellis Auto Refinishers. Last year the business was going through hard times and Craig knew he needed to do something.

Our systems were disorganized and my wife, Paula, was finding it hard to keep on top of the admin workload.It was then when I called ActionCOACH, Faye Kropp, for her help. Since working with ActionCOACH, I’ve halved the number of hours I work each week. Paula now works just 1½ days a week in the business.We have employed more staff and we’ve implemented tons of systems which have freed up our time. Now we’re almost out of the hole, we’re much less stressed, and feel confident taking time off for vacations during the year knowing the business runs itself.

ActionCOACH has been an inspiration

A passion to control his own future led Alex Teh to go into business for himself four years ago. Alex is the proud owner of Blinds Couture, a specialty blinds retailer in Perth. Alex heard of ActionCOACH through a friend and after initially embarking on a group coaching program, decided that he needed his very own coach to get him on the right track.

I realised my business was uninspiring and lacking the profits I had hoped to achieve. ActionCOACH, Trent Taylor, has been an inspiration and my support for the last 12 months. My business has had an amazing 900% growth in net profits since ActionCOACH came on board! And rather than keeping everything about the business in my head, I now have written systems to streamline business procedures. Coaching has improved all facets of my business as well as my life. I have more time to spend with my family. Plus I have an improved mindset and the emotional strength to take my business to a higher level.

My business has changed like you wouldn’t believe since working with ActionCOACH

Limac Services, is now one of Melbourne’s leading fire safety specialists, providing state of the art fire safety solutions. Over time, I was becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the demands of being the owner/operator of a business. I was running blind, managing the business by the seat of my pants. I was being totally reactive, and everyone would call me if they needed something done. I was working 70-80+ hours a week with absolutely no time for myself. I heard of the results business coaching could bring and when I contacted ActionCOACH, I decided to give it a go.

My business has changed like you wouldn’t believe since working with ActionCOACH! Sales have increased by 56% and profits have boomed with an increase of 550% over the last two years! I no longer have to work on the tools and get my hands dirty, which I’m really excited about! The best part is I can appreciate in the little luxuries in life. Now I have a personal life I can enjoy and time to spend with my kids.

Aspire Highly Recommends Getting an ActionCOACH

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:20:36 +0000

Before having an ActionCOACH it was just Michelle and myself working in the company, now we have a team of 20. Our business was chaotic. There was no budgeting, no phone scripts, no testing and measuring of marketing campaigns, no systems. We were all over the place. Our turnover has increased by an amazing 455% in the three years we have been working with ActionCOACH! We have a system that works. We know how to achieve our goals and can now leave our business and go on lengthy holidays. We highly recommend getting an ActionCOACH. It’s worth every cent!

ActionCOACH Took My Business to the Next Level

Although Scaf-West was a reasonably profitable enterprise, we were unstreamlined and disorganised; there was no time management or team structure, and basically I was afraid to grow the business. Since I have been working with ActionCOACH, profits have doubled and sales have increased by 42%!We spent time building the foundations, implementing changes in everything from computer systems to training manuals, and the results have really shone through in the last 7 months. I have more time for myself, even taking one day a week to complete a course outside the business.
