Business Coaching in London - Results  

Parag knows what he's doing. The benefits so far to the Business have been remarkable. Some coaches just guide- this guy takes you by the scruff of the neck and leads you down the most profitable route.

Turnover has grown +100% since I met you 6 months ago.

Thank you Parag. I couldn't do this without you. When I need ideas, guidance or inspiration, you are the person I turn to. If it wasn’t for you pushing me forward, my attention would be scattered instead of focused on getting this business off the ground.

We value Parag’s contribution as an important part of fulfilling our ambitious goals and bold Vision. Parag's business mentoring has helped me identify many areas that we were instantly able to improve with measurable results. I am a strong believer that every business should have a coach and for Capsule01, having Parag is proving to be very rewarding.

 Paul Lindsell, Owner, Capsule01   www.capsule01.co.uk

Our business revenue increased by an amazing 56% in 2011 compared to the previous year.

We are completely delighted at this improvement! It would not have been possible without Parag.  We're out of our overdraft for the first time in 3.5 yrs.

I've benefited from putting more structure/planning into my day. I feel more in control of the Business. I really like the ethos of ActionCOACH, creating great quality of life, establishing a profitable business, which is possible by planning and acting smart whilst being generous to staff and clients.

Parag was recommended by another local company. They had proven benefits due to Parag's input. I have found Parag a breath of fresh air. Any issue I have within the organisation -Parag has helped me find a path forward. He never leaves without ensuring you have a list of tasks that you will complete between visits. He helped me to increase the proportion of my time spent working “on” the business not in it. Great advice.

Coaching is transfrorming the way in which we manage our Business. Parag has helped us focus on the important strategic issues and as a result the Business is developing very impressively. We are now much more disciplined about taking time to work on the business. Parag has a wealth of knowledge and with his help we are making use of his ideas in ways which relate directly to the challenges we face.

You probably dont realise how much of a testament it is to yourself that I feel able to trust you completely to guide my businesses and to work with my employees. I have never allowed anyone to exert such an influence since I started trading. I very much appreciate the efforts you make on my behalf.

David Waugh, Managing Director, Wauton Samuel   www.wautonsamuel.co.uk

I’m pleased to confirm that all my goals have been achieved and we’re back on track with sales on the increase.

We’ve implemented many changes in our sales strategy, avoiding price-matching or discounting. We focussed on a list of Unique Selling Points and shouting about them. This had an immediate impact, now being one of our most powerful selling tools!

One goal to have a regular time when I plan the following week has proved to be one of the most effective ways of managing my time, giving me a sense of control and achievement

 Parag also helped me realise that you are only as good as your team and investing time in your staff has to be one of the most important ways of achieving any goals.

Lisa Cluer, Owner, Inside Out   www.insideoutcontracts.com

Using Parag’s services has been one of the best investments of time and money I have made for the past 8 years and I now feel a lot more in control and a much better leader and manager than ever before.

Nelly Berova, Director, Art Division   www.artdivision.co.uk

Having Parag host a Team Alignment day for my company is in the top 3 best business decisions I have ever made.  The day was brilliant.  We have several staff who have been with us for 6-8 years… we’ve never had a team meeting until Parag’s Alignment day.  I was really worried about how the staff would react...we’re a garage so you can imagine the scale of whingeing from 6 mechanics before the meeting… but they all really enjoyed the day, even though it was on a Saturday, their day off! 

The Alignment day highlighted one member of staff who didn’t involve themselves and shortly after had their employment terminated AND highlighted another on my black list who is now doing incredibly well.  My advice to anyone with the opportunity of Parag’s Alignment day - go for it.

Parag will show you immediate savings and ways to generate extra cash from the FIRST session, so you will repay the investment very quickly. A results orientated coach.

 John Limpus, Owner, Urban Vitality Company   www.urbanvitality.com

After employing ActionCOACH and Parag, we now have the tools, knowledge and help to dictate the direction of the business and take back control. Parag is an excellent listener, taking time to understand our needs and challenges, then offering brilliant, practical advice to improve our business health.

I have no hesitation in recommending Parag to other businesses.

David Lee, Director, SE3 Productions   www.se3productions.co.uk 

Working with Parag has put a rocket up my business! We've changed dramatically in culture, processes and are well on the way to some phenomenal results. At a recent Coaching Awards ceremony, attended by dozens of coaches, Parag's clients dominated most sector's nominations and awards. I'm definitely with the right coach! Strongly recommend. 

Nick Breeze, Owner, Bretsa Recruitment http://www.bretsa.co.uk/

Parag truly helped me realise where my business potential lied. His very clear and structured approach made me focus on the effective ways to grow the company, whilst his patience and generosity kept me going on the difficult path of self belief.

Christine Joncour-Davies, Owner, ProLang Ltd www.pro-lang.com

You've genuinely changed how we run our Business. Implementing strategies from the 6 Steps System had immediate and positive financial impact. 

We've improved:
 - Our approach to advertising and stopped wasting money as a result. 
 - The running of our team 
 - Our understanding of profitability and fundamental financial information.

Brilliant. 

Jesye Edwards, Director, Lets 4U Property Services

I was stressed,under pressure with no time to organise staffing issues, neglected my existing customers and didn’t have time to go looking for new ones. I was behind on my invoicing and didn’t chase debts.

I would urge anyone in business to invest their time and money in ActionCOACH.

Graham Milton, Managing Director, SBS Printing

I value having someone like yourself pushing me and getting me to focus, because I was very tired of doing it all by myself for 8 years solid. Your input is invaluable Parag, so thanks very much again for your backing.

 90 Day Business Planning & Other Workshops  

 
"One of the best experiences Ive ever had since I started the Business"

Chaifka koudimi, Flexilearning Centre

"I really enjoyed the GrowthCLUB last week - thanks a lot! It was great that you have changed the format for people who have been before, it was very beneficial to brainstorm solutions to what seemed to be the same problem even though we ran different businesses. Looking forward to the next one in Jan 2011."

Nelly Berova, Art Division

"Parag spent an hour with me on the phone to determine whether it would be mutually beneficial to attend and the next day I was sat in a very nice meeting room with a dozen other professionals overlooking Piccadilly Circus.

His presentation was simply outstanding!

No sales pitch - just great advice. I learnt a lot from it. Some very good, unique advice was given in relation to improving one's own performance and that of enterprises too. A lot of ground covered was covered in 2 hours. So, yes there are occasions that it's possible to come across outstanding advice that makes you want to know more."

John Coupland, BNI Regional Director

It will be hard, but I have been given the tools today to tackle the tasks ahead by defining a clear plan. I can see us growing again because we have a Vision again. My evaluation is 10 out of 10"
