Green Shoots

2nd February 2016

To follow on from last week, I thought I would have a more detailed look at my clients results over the past year to see if my optimism was well founded or not. As it turns out I am delighted to say, that in nearly every case it is, with businesses in many different fields flourishing and growing.

Taking a cross section of clients from building to IT, engineering to plumbing, and retail, the worst increase in turnover last year was +9%, with the best at +50% and the majority in excess of +20%. On top of this margins have also increased, and the business owners have on the whole been able to increase their drawings.

In addition because of the increase in turnover and margins, they have all been recruiting new staff, and have as a result been able to free up more time for themselves to work on the business, concentrating on strategy and further growth in the future.

In fact several of my clients have also started up or taken over a new business (all related to their current one), so that they are now jumping forward in quantum amounts. In fact only yesterday another of my clients asked my advice on growth through acquisition.

So would all these businesses have achieved such success without the input and driving force of my coaching? Certainly in some cases some of the growth and changes may well have happened anyway. But on the whole it is the controlled and managed way in which these things have happened which ensures that the positive changes are planned and permanent. Without coaching this would not be the case.
