Business Coaching reviews and results

I came in thinking I needed a marketing strategy. Turns out, my pricing was the real problem. Within eight weeks of adjusting our rates and restructuring our packages, monthly revenue went up by 22%. The coaching sessions forced me to look at the numbers I had been avoiding for two years.

The growth diagnostics report was 14 pages long and every page had something useful. My favourite recommendation was the simplest: stop offering a service that made up 8% of revenue but consumed 30% of our team's time. We dropped it. Profits jumped that quarter.

Before coaching, I was working 65-hour weeks and still felt behind. Now I work about 45 hours and the business runs better. The biggest change was learning to delegate properly. Not just handing tasks off, but actually training my team leads to make decisions without checking with me first.

I was sceptical about coaching. Spent money on a course before that was mostly platitudes. This was different. Every session had homework, and the homework was specific to my business, not generic worksheets. After four months, I had a proper cash flow forecast for the first time in six years of trading.

We brought the coach in for a leadership team alignment workshop. It was uncomfortable at first because some long-standing disagreements came out into the open. That was exactly what needed to happen. Three months later, our project delivery rate improved from 72% on time to 91% on time.

Straightforward, no-nonsense coaching. I appreciated that he told me when an idea was bad instead of nodding along. We restructured my sales pipeline and I closed two contracts in Q3 that I had been chasing for over a year. The difference was in how I was presenting the proposals.
