Business Coaching Clients

Are serious about success?

Do you want to take control of your business, make more money, enjoy more down-time and decrease your stress level?

If you’re serious about achieving success through business coaching, speak to me about your business or read on to learn about the qualities and characteristics of successful business coaching clients.

The type of business coaching clients who achieve success with my business coaching program are business owners and independent professionals who:

•Want to accelerate results.
•Are willing to do what it takes, even if it means doing things differently.
•Have a pretty clear idea of what they want to accomplish.
•Value collaboration and are ready to get the help they need.
•Are interested in long term solutions, not quick fixes.
•Are committed to their success.
•Have a gap in knowledge, skills, confidence or resources.
•Really care about what they’re doing and are committed to making it work.
•Have a lot at stake.
•Feel as though their life is out of balance.
•Need a course correction.
•Want to achieve their very best.
•Lack clarity and/or need to make some important decisions.
•Have reached a certain level of success and want more.
•Are seeking simplicity, organization or better self management.
•Realize that the old ways of doing things aren’t working.
•Are willing to look inside and be honest with themselves.
•Are interested in providing the best possible service to their customers.
They’re often savvy professionals who are accomplished in their fields, with no formal training in business management. They need to sharpen their skills in marketing and sales, organization, time management or productivity.

Business coaching clients often want to stop reacting to crises and start planning and thinking strategically. They seek to continually improve themselves and raise the bar. They are tired of being run by their business, and want to have energy and time for their personal life.

Do these issues sound familiar?

“I’ve run an interior design company for several years. Staffing is a problem since we either have so much business we can’t handle it, or so little that there’s not enough to do. It’s hard to know whether to hire more full time staff to meet the demands of the busy times or continue struggling with freelancers. Or to know what hiring process to follow. How can we get a consistent flow of business we can depend upon?”

“I’m the principal broker at a successful real estate office. Between managing my agents and employees, dealing with last minute problems, closings, advertising, PR, sellers, buyers and attorneys I’m feeling overwhelmed. I don’t even have time to check my voice messages or emails. How can I do all of this without driving myself crazy?”

“I’m an experienced architect, but really hate selling; problem is if I don’t do it, nobody will. How can I get myself out there and land the projects my firm needs?”

“I’m an insurance agent. I’m not meeting my quota. My manager told me I had to see at least 8 prospects a day. I’m so busy running from appt. to appt. that I’m forgetting to follow through with those who’ve already expressed interest. Can I do it all?

“My employees seem to lack a sense of urgency and are producing pretty mediocre work. As a result, I find myself doing more myself which is taking me away from my own responsibilities. How do I train and motivate my employees to do things right so I can feel comfortable delegating work to them?

“Our company is growing fast. Although we’ve got lots of customers we’re not making enough money. What are we doing wrong?”

“My partners and I started our firm a couple of years ago. Although business has been OK, we’ve kind of been running things by the seat of our pants and not really making progress towards our goals. How can we develop a common vision and a plan to move our company forward?”

“I’ve been out on my own for several years, and I’m beginning to realize that there’s more to running my business than just producing the work. I’m just one person. How do I get a handle on all of the things I need to learn and do to make my business a success?”

"Susan taught me how to think about my law practice as a business. She helped me to build confidence in my role as a business owner and boss, showed me how to use my financial records as profitability tools and focus my marketing on a select target market so I attract more of my ideal clients and cases. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who wants to run a profitable, sane and productive business. Thank you Susan!" -Lisa Eisenberg, Immigration Attorney

"I am one of two partners in a small law firm. When I started working with Susan, I was completely wedded to the idea that I was a "practicing attorney" rather than a small business owner, which meant that I often failed do any long range business planning or to maintain solid control of my firm's profitability and finances. Susan cured me of that and has helped me create a business plan for myself and for my small firm, and the results have been dramatic." Erica Bell, Esq., Weiss, Buell & Bell

"Susan has helped me gain confidence in my role as a boss and to understand what I really need from my employees. She walked me through the hiring process and helped me to create a hiring and interviewing strategy. She has also helped me to see situations from the big picture perspective. Because of this, I'm able to be both firm and empathetic when dealing with difficult employee and client situations, which has been very useful." -Chris Page, Century 21 Solutions Property Management

"I had been running my own business for about three years with mixed results. While I had a great client base, I had trouble managing employees and was terrified of growing too much too soon. I was putting in way too many hours with little result. With Susan, I've reduced the amount of time I devote to management issues, so that I'm working less and enjoying it more. Now I can devote more time to providing better service to current clients, and have the confidence to let my business grow again!" Ean Murphy, Moxie Bookkeeping

"When I started to work with Susan I did not have a coherent marketing strategy or proper marketing material. Susan helped me re-conceive how I presented my service to potential clients. And it worked. Within a few months I was getting more business as a direct result of the actions she recommended that I take." -Edward Antoine, Antoine Education

"Before we worked together, my clients would often start to clear clutter but never stay around long enough to set up the systems to stay organized. I needed a way to get them to commit to the whole process for both of our benefits.With Susan on my side, I created packages that were met with immediate and overwhelmingly positive results. In fact, I have gained three new clients in the two weeks since I started offering them! My clients are happy and so am I. Thank you Susan!" -Matt Baier, Matt Baier Organizing

"Before working with Susan, I did all of my business online, never feeling comfortable enough to pick up the phone and speak directly with customers. Her sales coaching helped me helped me get out of my shell, to understand the difference between sales and marketing, and the importance of reaching out and focusing on people. Because of our work, sales are up, I'm more comfortable dealing with clients and new prospects and profits have increased 50%." -Martin Cross, Patent Translations

"Before I hired Susan, my business was suffering because I didn't know what to do next or how to do it. After working with Susan, and through her gentle but firm support and holding me to my goals, I have moved forward by leaps and bounds. My subscriber list has more than doubled ...I've produced a new product, re-designed my web site and have more balance and confidence in the future." Dale Kurow, Career Coach

"It's one thing to have services to offer. It's another to understand how to shape those services into a viable business. And Susan has helped me in every aspect of developing my business - from big picture tasks such as financial planning and maintaining client relationships to dealing with day-to-day challenges. She's perceptive, candid and intuitive, and has provided support that I can count on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any friends looking for business assistance."-Richard Staub, Richard Staub Marketing Services

"During the course of working with Susan, my approach to business has changed. She helped me to refine my professional and personal goals, and I've been able to deal with problems that had long gotten in my way. In a few months, I've seen my business and my confidence grow significantly. Thank you Susan." -Ruth Seidler

"Business Coach Susan Martin has helped me to manage my time, build structure and become more disciplined. Because of our work I have more business, improved relationships with clients, and learned how to better balance my work and personal life. If you have any doubts about the benefits of working with Susan, please don't hesitate to call me." -Carl Navarro, JCI Graphics
