Great Results, Expert, High Integrity   Steve is an excellent business coach who understands what it is that I need to do to build my business and knows how to encourage me to do those things. Steve is very knowledgeable and continues to build his knowledge about business and techniques to motivate his clients and help them solve the issues they have with their business.

Steve not only teaches techniques to build business, but as a client, I see Steve doing the same things in his business that he is suggesting that I do in mine, thus he understands what he is asking me to do and the challenges that I will face when I follow his advice.

Steve’s guidance has been spot on, helping me overcome many issues that I initially had in my business and helped me expose other challenges both in business development and in customer service that have presented themselves as my business began to reach new levels."

 Marv Conn, MagicAngel.net www.magicangel.net

Expert, Good Value, On Time "Steve consistently challenges us to expand our vision of our business options and to refine our approaches.

Steve is a great asset to our company. He is always available to listen to your ideas and to give you a fresh and unbiased assessment of what needs to be done in your business. He will help you map out techniques for growth and development with realistic strategies for success." 

John Taylor, Nova Data Testing www.novadatatesting.com

"Great Source  For Fresh Ideas:  When you have been immersed in your day-to-day activities for so many years, you might be oblivious to the simple solutions for some of your everyday problems. Steve is great at pointing out that which should be obvious, but isn't. 

 Bill Behrens, Behrens Audio Video www.behrensav.com

"Steve is a guy who not only knows what a successful business looks like, he knows how to apply proven techniques to make it happen in your business and keep you motivated along the way. I think that is more important than simply understanding the textbook definition of success- you have to know how to get there too. Steve will help you do that and make it an enjoyable and exciting adventure to boot."

Nick Edwards, Investment Management Group 

 "I found your GrowthCLUB 90 Day Planning day to be extremely valuable in helping me organize my directions and business vision, while identifying core actions for reaching the vision.  Your workshop helped me clarify the actions needed and their priorities to maximize my time & effort." 

Lori Wishard, Media Rapids, Inc

"My business has really taken off since I attended my 1st GrowthCLUB planning day, and I attribute this to what I have learned during your workshops.  Because I now know about the 6 Steps to Massive Results, I am better able to visualize how I want AMP to grow and have begun to build a firm foundation and an executable plan.  Setting aside the time to review my plan and returning to the GrowthCLUB on a regular basis in order to stay on track has given my company direction and purpose.  Since joining the GrowthCLUB, my sales have increased 100% and I have moved into a larger space.  With your continued guidance, I feel confident in AMP's ability to achieve and exceed our goals.

 P. Heisler, AMP Promotional Products

"Since starting our coaching program we now have a better handle on our finances. We are also more productive with billing and receivables and more active in handling those receivables if they are late. I like the process of moving each aspect of the business along without focusing too much on one thing. I like the discipline required, as a one owner company can lose perspective once in while.

Coaching has helped me to be more open to communicate with members of my team and that has been reflected in the attitudes of everyone. We have put lots of effort into hiring and I was able to pick a great candidate for a full time position. That is a big deal because we now have a system for hiring. If we can put that same effort to increased sales for 2008 then the goals set for the next three years could easily be increased.

So with all this I realized why the name “action” coach. Everything we have done or will do requires action. The process is best described with action verbs like selling, hiring, training, communicating, calling, developing, writing, planning…well you get the idea. So that is why I enjoy the coaching process."  

 John Taylor, Nova Data Testing

Steve, your directions have been an eye opening experience to one whose company has been in business for 20 years.  It was a fresh look at things I had gotten use to and just complacent in doing.  Your course of action helped me in getting “back on track” in my thinking and in becoming more profitable, which in turn allows more profits and freedom to myself. 

 Chuck Sams, Owner, American Window Fashions.

I've attended several "similar seminar" sessions through SBA.  However, your 2 hours session was the best and communicated in practical language, understandable to all business types. 

 N. K. Lester, The Place @ 8th & Main

Thank you again for giving your presentation to the Growth Business Advisory Council. They were quite positive about your remarks and felt they were most helpful. I especially appreciated the elements about time management and also the diagram emphasizing the importance of the business owner focusing on team building, which then serves the customers, ultimately building the business and benefitting the owner...I think often, women business owners are of the mistaken belief it should be the other way around...very enlightening!  

L. Nottingham, Chair, Score Jacksonville

Through ProfitCLUB you have focused on key areas of my business; sales, marketing, team building, communications, advertising, referral strategies, finances, and time management. Through the education I'm recieving through ProfitCLUB, I developed a sales promotion for the month of December and increased my year end sales by more than 300%.
