Brian Doubleday, ActionCOACH

About ActionCOACH

As the world's number one business development and coaching company, ActionCOACH has over 1,200 Business Coaches in 27 countries.

Brian Doubleday is an ActionCOACH based in Guildford, driven by the desire to help business owners develop their companies and gain momentum, so that they can actually relax more and enjoy business ownership, irrespective of the business climate.

As a Business Coach, Brian provides support, strategies and advice to help business owners identify ways they can improve the effectiveness of their leadership, teamwork, sales, communication, strategic planning and much more.

What is a Business Coach?

A Business Coach is just like a sporting coach. A sporting coach pushes an athlete to achieve optimum performance, provides support when they are exhausted and teaches the athlete to execute strategies that their competition does not anticipate.

A sporting coach will make you run more laps than you want to and will tell it as it is. And a sporting coach will listen.

ActionCOACH Business coaches help owners of small and medium sized businesses to:

• Renew their vision and enthusiasm
• Identify areas that are constraining the growth of the business
• Put a plan together to make their business grow and become more profitable
• Identify new plans and tactics to find and retain more customers
• Improve productivity and get better results from staff
• Control risk and costs
• Improve productivity and create a successful team, rather than a group of individuals within the business

Programmes and Services

ActionCOACH provides a range of 1 on 1 and group coaching sessions designed to focus on specific problem areas identified within an organisation.

Many existing clients derive great value and support from membership of a local GrowthCLUB. Meeting quarterly, this is a powerful, action packed and highly focused 1 day workshop that combines the synergy of the local business coaching team and like minded, innovative business owners and their teams, to create momentum for their businesses.

What are Existing UK Clients Saying?

"I have seen an outstanding transformation in my business. In a short space of time I really got focused again on all the things I need to do to achieve my goals. The results started instantly once I followed and focused on the '5 ways' strategies. The power of writing down the goals in the GrowthCLUB has enabled the journey of how to get to the goal much clearer, and definitely achievable."

"I was running my business by instinct, had no formal training or education in business and desperately needed help if I was going to develop it further. Coaching renewed my enthusiasm, my motivation and most of all showed me how to go forward - and applied enough pressure to make sure I carried out the strategies."

"I learnt how to market, recruit, build a great team, set my USP, vision and culture and so much useful information and advice. It was worth every penny that I spent. Best of all, my growth is up 15% and profit up 33% after the first 12 months of coaching. I am now looking forward to continued growth, expansion, development of new ideas and enjoying the challenges of business."

But Are you Coachable?

Not every business owner is suited to having a Business Coach – the process requires that you really want to take your business to the next level. It will also demand that you are honest with yourself and ask key questions, such as:

• 1. What business am I in - really in?
• 2. What am I trying to achieve?
• 3. What are my obstacles - why am I not already achieving my goals?
• 4. What are the solutions/improvements I need to make?
• 5. What do I specifically need to change, both in myself and my business?
• 6. What are the critical drivers to my success?
• 7. What activities and skills do I and my team need to have?
• 8. Do I really have a team or a group of individuals in my business?
• 9. How do my customers perceive the value I offer them?
• 10. What value do I offer customers and why do they buy from me?
• 11. What can I do better, to make customers discriminate in my favour and refer others to me?
• 12. Do I really understand my competition - what can I do to make my competition irrelevant?
• 13. I know I can't pay my bills with profit - I want to be sure I have cash flow, don't I?
• 14. Have I got the right toolbox for doing the job?

What's in it for you?

Just as every sports team has a Coach, small and medium sized businesses can benefit from having a Business Coach to help focus efforts, improve and grow in today's challenging business environment. Business Coaching provides a powerful, profitable and affordable way for business owners to get the help and mentoring they need to grow their companies and achieve:

• An opportunity to regain vision and enthusiasm for the business
• A new mindset and approach for owners to grow their business and an effective approach to making it actually happen
• The knowledge and understanding of effective strategies for the ongoing future growth/profitability of the business
• Financial clarity and remodelling of the business, embracing clarity on costs and the true profit drivers of the business.

Above all – a better business

The first step of business coaching is to carry out a 'business health check.' From that, it is always possible to change a business model to become more inventive and use new tools and tactics to get more done in less time.
