"Getting Your Business Working For You!'

Introducing Harvey Cook………

 

Harvey Cook has over 30 years experience in business ownership and customer service starting in retailing, and then by selling and servicing life assurance and related products and is currently in his 10^th year of business coaching.

Harvey is well versed in the needs of customers, and what it takes to gain their trust and their repeat business. In his assurance business he led a team of 8 people responsible for over 2600 clients with an annual premium income of over $3.0 million, and was a member of the ‘Million Dollar Round Table’ This was possible because Harvey learnt what it takes to maximise team productivity in a positive manner so they felt good about their contribution.

 Whilst in the life assurance industry he served on the National Board of the Agent's Association for 7 years, including a term as National President where Harvey learnt how to run a successful board, and maintain excellent communication with Life Assurance industry leaders.

A former Toastmaster, Harvey has competed at international level, and won National, and Australasian prepared speech titles. He knows the power of communication, and what it takes to gain, and maintain the interest of your customers. In 1982 he was named “Toastmaster of the Year”, for New Zealand.

He has served his community by being involved with a boy scouts committee, and served a number of years on kindergarten and school committees.

As well as having a keen sense of humour Harvey is a firm believer in health and fitness summed up by his motto

"The best business in the world is wasted on an unhealthy business owner."

A regular swimmer and runner, Harvey has completed 3 marathons with a personal best time of 2 hours 58 minutes for the 1989 Rotorua Marathon

Following a stint at coaching cricket and rugby, Harvey refereed rugby for 9 years, learning some very important ‘people management’ skills by refereeing to senior level.

 Harvey’s Philosophy of Life and Business is summed up by:

“A very good work ethic is a pre-requisite for success in any field. If you are going to do anything, always give it your best… You never know what you may achieve!”

So Are You .............. ?

Working longer hours than you want to or ever thought you would be?

Do you want to regain the vision and dream that led you to forming your own business in the first place?

What would you do to regain control of your life and spend more time with family and friends?

I am a certified Business Coach with ActionCOACH, the World’s #1 Business Coaching Franchise (Entrepreneur Magazine, Jan. 2004 & 2005).

As your coach, I will be working with you in five key areas. The emphasis on each area depends on your needs, the type of business you have, and your goals. The key areas are: Sales; Marketing and Advertising; Team Building and Recruitment; Systems and Business Development; and, Customer Service.

My goal is to help small business owners, such as yourself, spend less time working in your business and more time working on your business. In the end, you'll be spending less total time working and will be making more money. I’d also like to help you put the FUN back in your business and your life.

As a small business owner myself, I know what it is like to worry about the day-to-day survival of the business and making the amount of money needed to run my business and personal life. I understand what it’s like to put in long hours and wonder what happened to the dreams and vision I had for my life and future.

I am here to help you change all of that. We will work together to redefine your dreams and vision, and then we will put into place the necessary systems, strategies, and tactics that will allow you to turn your business venture into a thriving, successful one.

We define a successful business as: a commercial, profitable enterprise that works without you. As your Business Coach, I will function as an unreasonable friend who tells it like it is and keeps you working on the path toward your dreams.

There is no time like the present, right now, to get started on your dreams and goals. If you are ready to move your business to the next level, contact me today for a FREE, NO OBLIGATION consultation. Find out how you can change the way you do business to achieve the results you deserve!
