The new site, developed in conjunction with Las Vegas-based Greenbaum Marketing, presents the ActionCOACH franchise and opportunity in an updated architecture that is easily navigable and functional.
“The new site is a great innovation and is truly representative of our franchise and the opportunity we can offer to those professionals looking to leverage their skills in their own business,” ActionCOACH U.S. and Canada CEO Jodie Shaw said.
The launch of the new franchise website coincides with a number of other initiatives ActionCOACH is introducing to the marketplace, including a new guarantee and a new look for its actioncoach.com site, as well as coaching sites for individual practice and firm coaches in than 1,000 offices around the world.
“The new look and feel of the brand and the company shows our commitment to continue to innovate and lead our category,” Shaw said. “We not only want to continue supporting that our current position, we want to fully establish ourselves as the primary resource owners turn to whenever they need help and guidance for their businesses.” ActionCOACH continues to grow and expand its reach into new countries and regions, and recently expanded its current country count to a total of 32.
“People who become an ActionCOACH not only have a love for business, they love helping others succeed in business,” Shaw said. “So for them, this is the perfect opportunity. It allows them to help others, and it also lets them to ‘run their own ship’ in terms of building and running their own businesses.” ActionCOACH Announces New 7-Point Guarantee 
ActionCOACH has created a 7-point guarantee. ActionCOACH will guarantee that after working with a Business Coach for 17 weeks, a client’s business will improve, or coaching is free.
ActionCOACH will guarantee several aspects of the coaching process – confidentiality, to always tell the client the truth, business re-education, and how to multiply profits – and with ActionCOACH’s coaching, the client can “find its fee” within 17 weeks. If the client is unsatisfied, ActionCOACH has no problem giving them 17 weeks of coaching for free.
A public relations firm will be hired to heavily promote this new guarantee in several countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada and the US.

Coaching for a Cause to Launch October 1 
ActionCOACH announced its “Coaching for a Cause” campaign, which launched for the first time ever last year, will launch for the second time on October 1.
Coaching for a Cause will make pro-bono coaching available to non-profits and charities all over the world. Last year, the campaign initiative called for at least 100 ActionCOACH Business Coaches to donate a total of 10,000 coaching hours to non-profits, with a targeted total of an additional $2.5 million in collected donations. Coaching for a Cause actually raised $3.4 million.
This year, the goal is to donate a total of 10,000 coaching hours and raise $5 million.
The campaign, which will begin on October 1, 2010 and continue through March 31, 2011, will track coaching results on a monthly basis. For those non-profits that want to continue the program, ActionCOACH will extend its service beyond the life of the initial campaign. ActionCOACH founder and Chairman Brad Sugars' own positive experience coaching a charity gave birth to this massive campaign.
As a Business Coach, Sugars has been involved with coaching charities on a pro-bono basis for a number of years, and decided to leverage his own knowledge about coaching the non-profit sector to his network of Business Coaches - so they could do the same.
Sugars has also served as the Chairman of several charities in the past, and saw first-hand how Business Coaching could impact the revenues of a charity and its ability to help the greater community.
"Our vision as a company is 'World Abundance through Business Re-education,'" he said. "One of the most powerful ways to create abundance is by working on the front lines with organizations that are helping make positive changes in people's lives. As we help those organizations raise more donations, they in turn can help more people make better changes."
Sugars' ultimate vision for “Coaching for a Cause” is to have every coach within the franchise system to coach at least one charity of their choice.
The new campaign was designed to help meet the challenge most charities face in the current economic environment: a greater number of charitable organizations competing for donations as charitable giving is on the decline. "Coaching for a Cause will create a massive impact by helping charities and non-profits increase their top-line goals of raising more money and reducing wasted overheads," Sugars said. "The scope of this program will be enormous as it will cover many different types of charities all over the world."
