Case Study 1

Case Study 1

Achievements’ since having Keith as my coach over the last 2 years; I have gone from owning one McDonalds store to owning six McDonalds stores (biggest increase by a McDonalds owner in Australia ) and have achieved all my business goals over that period

I have personally gone from being the newest McDonalds owner to being on the NBG (the most powerful group in McDonalds) within 18 months. Usually for owners that have had 15 years experience. Under Keith I have set up a Finance Manager, Operations manager, Training Manager, Communications manager and operations manager over the last year.

I now only do the work on the business I need to and spend the rest of my time doing what I want to. Keith’s biggest strength as a coach has been to get my key employees supporting me, he has done this from a neutral position. I have had a lot of people ask me (including coaches) Why does someone who owns a McDonalds need a coach? I’m sick of explaining it, but I know Brad will know exactly why I need my coach.

Bruce has an ability to connect with & engage the small business owners at their level.

At our recent state conference Bruce was able to present valuable business basics to old & new hands alike, striking a cord with all 30 franchise owners in the group & giving valuable insight & answers to those everyday issues that people are often afraid to address for fear of apparing stupid or being 'the only one' with that problem.

“Katherine has turned my approach to business on its ear. I thought I was doing okay but was always unrewarded and unsatisfied with my results. Katherine's coaching had an immediate effect on the bottom line of my business - turnover tripling & profit doubling in just 2 months. We are now working together to build an amazing business”

Professionally, our business has grown by 50%, our profits have grown accordingly and it's future is exciting and filled with more than just potential. Personally, I now have a high level of clarity my potential, my processes and my purpose here. Thanks again, the future only looks marginally brighter than the present - where the light is very bright and very exciting...."

"I personally have nothing but the highest recommendation for this company Action International. Within six months, money in the bank is my last problem, I spend no time in the business at all and it´s a total turn key operation. Paul has allowed me to walk away from my business for three weeks without a worry in the world. In fact we had our best month ever the month I was away. For the first month it seemed a lot of money to us, but within the second month Paul paid for himself and since then our profit has enjoyed an 850% increase."
Adam Mackenzie, Bendigo Lending Services

 


 

"3 months working with Bruce gave me a 312% increase in turnover, my net profit increased by 42.4% and to top it off we systemised the business so I've gone from working 80 ­ 90 hours a week to 20 ­ 30 per week.. Plus Bruce trained me how to write ads that keep the phone ringing. My only regret is that I didn´t meet Bruce 6 years ago when I started the business. Thanks!"

"Thanks to Bruce I avoided financial disaster, after some clever restructuring in my salons I quickly reversed the trend and with one strategy increased my client base by 41% (and they´re still responding). Now I´m moving into a 3rd salon and the future is looking fantastic. Within 3 months the whole business will be systemised and I´ll be out there looking for salon number 4. Thanks Heaps!"
Angela Seen, Seen on Church Hairdressing

 


 

"I'm amazed, 10 days after commencing the program with Bruce my store achieved a 35% growth in sales, simple changes to the sales process have increased the average dollar sale dramatically without decreasing the margins. 2 weeks ago I wouldn´t have believed this."
Adrian's Menswear

 


 

"Before starting the program with Bruce I´d never heard of conversion rate. Now I understand and it has increased an amazing 580% . Yes from 5% to 29% in 3 months, the bookings for weddings are now flowing in plus we have increased our prices by 12% (and we´re about to increase them again), reduced our advertising costs and are getting more clients into the business using scripts and a totally systemised process. Bruce has changed the way we do business. Absolutely fantastic!"
Rachel Digby, Digby´s Receptions

 


 

"Ray Strongman has been my business coach since February 2008 and has been a fantastic mentor and sounding board for me personally and in business. He has been instrumental in my development professionally and is helping to turn the chaos in to order in our business. A large focus of our effort has been based on team where we have removed the unproductive and began to inspire the valuable staff. Our team has never been more stable, happy, productive and committed than ever before demonstrated further by no loss in employee in the past 12 months and one new great addition to the team. Our focus this year also on finance has proven fantastic results despite the poor economic times where we have empowered 5 staff members with split responsibilities over our entire profit and loss which has relinquished me of that sole responsibility. The effect January 2009 to November 2009 has seen a 12% rise in sales but also a whopping 370% rise in net profit (to 10.5%) when compared to the same period of 2008! The period July 2009 to November 2009 has seen a 16% rise in sales but a 510% increase in net profit (to 13%) compared to that of 2008! Which for our business is a remarkable turnaround and a great reward for all the hard work and has inspired the enthusiasm and energy to return. Time is our new focus for 2010 where Ray has helped me to realise that my own use of time is restricting the company from producing further exceptional results and I have no doubt that with his help not only I, but my team will master time management soon. Hence I have no hesitation in recommending Ray Strongman and Action Coach to help any business owner to further develop and succeed. Thanks Ray."
