Action Testimonials
for Applied Business Coaching, Inc.
"Tom has been an immeasurable asset to GRR Enterprises Inc. As our Business Coach, Tom has brought a vast set of skills to our company. He has helped us to develop systems to grow our business three times its size in less than one year. I would strongly recommend Tom to any business that is looking for true success."
- Gary Robards, President & CEO – GRR Enterprises Inc.
“When I first met Tom, it was when my father was feeling very ill. I started this company thinking that he and I would have the opportunity to work together. It had been something we had talked about for years. However shortly after starting my company my father pasted away. There was times when I thought about just giving it up. I wasn't focused on the company at all; things were slipping away from me. That's when my wife brought me to a lunch meeting to meet Tom.
From that time, we have taken our company from negative $13,000, then negative $30,000 to a positive $45,000. We had a quick evaluation of our company and it was noted that we have turned our company around 110%. Are we there yet? NO not by a long shot, but we are on a right path. Company structure is there, we have a mission and vision, and systems are in place where I don't have to do as much of the work myself. We have a lot of hurdles to go over yet. I really like that fact that as a coach Tom has allowed me to request pushing or coaching in more specific areas. He not only teaches but listens and adjusts his coaching to fit the client’s style and needs. I would recommend Tom to any new client.
My goal is to stand up and speak to a group of people, letting them know that this dream of a company can come true, if you focus on the right areas, and pay attention to the important things and not everything that passes by your desk. I know that by 2009 I will have a company that runs without me. I know that we will have plenty of money to grow and do the things we want to do. A lot of that has to do with Action.”
- Eric Friedrichsohn, President – Wisconsin Interiors & Remodeling
“Tom has helped us to focus on the right things to move the business forward. Some examples of this have been; reinforce the cycle of business at many opportunities, 90-day planning and keeping us accountable to doing the things we need to do.
He has been a catalyst to move forward the relationship between the business partners. He has helped us consider new, more effective ways of doing things, e.g. hiring new people. He has helped our existing team by giving an outside, expert viewpoint on issues. Tom has asked a lot of questions to get us to think in new ways.”
- Jeffrey Kirk, President – Comstar Inc.
“Tom has helped my company in several ways. He has helped me fine tune our systems & structures and helped us develop a hiring system that is far more effective and time efficient that our previous method. He has provided an outside point of view regarding our business decisions. Talking with people close to the business tends to lead to a limited perspective on things. After a while, everyone seems to view things the same way, which can be dangerous.
Tom has helped in redesigning my operations managers’ job to help make him more effective for the company. This is still a work in progress, but it's going in the right direction.
Having an established company, I was wondering what to do next. Tom helped me focus on the future and what I want this company to be.
I'm sure I wouldn't have hired a full time sales person or bought another company if not for our discussions. This is probably the biggest benefit I received from working with Tom.”
- Mike Lang, President – Hennes Services Inc.
