Running the business was stressful as we lacked a proper structure in place. Our operations were not successfully being implemented and time was being wasted in chasing work to completion. I’d come to the office each day not knowing what issue was going to come up and how much of my time was going to be spent fire-fighting. As a consequence, the business was not efficient and I was wondering how it could be moved forwards. It appeared I’d got it as far forwards as I could. I was impressed my Martyn’s confidence and clear ability to see where we were and what we needed to do to take the business to the next level.
Life is a lot less stressful now. With reduced stress, I stay motivated and look forward to meeting the challenges of the day. My motivation is up 100% and even major obstacles are now taken in my stride. The business follows a refined process that enables everyone to know what they have to do, when and where. We are able to understand on a job by job basis what our margins are, whether they hit the target for profit or not. With a clearer picture of where we were, we could focus on planning the marketing of the business with clear plans and targets where everyone was bought into the process. Most importantly, cashflow has improved greatly as clients pay on time with a proper sign-off process in place, ensuring client satisfaction at every stage of the work.

I would strongly recommend Martyn to any business serious about tranformational change which I feel is really important to navigate through the COVID-19 period and come out the other side successful as well as sow the seeds for further growth there onwards. He really gets into the nuts and bolts of the business and talks numbers from the get go to make sure it is in a healthy position as well as soft skills required to implement the changes to your people. It is evident from early on that he has had personal experience of being in the shoes of business owners so it isn't just theories and business models but real advice.

I have been working with Martyn for over 12 months. After, admittedly, being quite sceptical initially I cannot describe the difference Martyn has made to me both on a personal level as well as in helping developing our business.

With so little time it’s so easy to be consumed by the day to day running of your business and let your best ideas to improve and develop the business pass by for another day. Martyn understood the issues that were holding us back and helped us address these very quickly so we could focus on the changes we have wanted to put in place for some time.

From a personal perspective, Martyn has helped me tremendously in thinking less with my financial adviser mindset and more with my business owner hat on, which has gone hand-in-hand with the progress we have seen in developing the business already.

I feel more focused, more in control and a real sense of excitement pursuing our goals for next year and the years ahead because I know we will get there – and I put that all down to Martyn.

I’ve woken up and started my day like it was 20 years ago, full of enthusiasm and positivity and have already tackled some of the issues in the business that I’ve left on the back burner for months that needed to be dealt with.

Our team is small, and experienced – but they do need nurturing and constant development and training, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Looking forward to our next meeting.

Martyn has helped me to focus on what i need to do and given me a better sense of direction and any barriers that have come in the way, he has been helping me to overcome them.

I wasn’t fulfilled , i was dissatisfied with the feeling of happiness and satisfaction. I wasn’t achieving the success i wanted. I needed to actively seek change, i wasn’t getting enjoyment from my business.

I wasn’t able to work on the structure of the business, but now with Martyn working with me i am seeing real change.

We are now up 30% year on year without increased hours of work, the growth has come without the stress. The way it is now sustainable is a lot to do with Martyn.

I am now more engaged with the business.

My advise to any entrepreneurs is to look at yourself as an investment and be open minded about receiving help and support.

The results can show and speak for themselves when you get an outsiders view,  before i started with Martyn I had a turnover of quarter of mil and  was just doing everything myself, I didn't know how to upscale.  The systems helped us get everything over the line and once Martyn joined us we scaled up even more and i got to take holidays and do what i wanted to do rather than just working in the business i worked on it.

I would absolutely recommend ActionCoach!
Success breeds success, we now have 4 operational areas and we wouldn't have had the results we have right now without Martyn, we needed to change our game and tactics, what actioncoach has brought that has been crucial to our success is the systems.
Its been great to have Martyn there asking why targets have not been met and i've developed new skills and better habits because of the coaching.

Martyn delivered the sales masterclass for 8 of the sales team in Plastech. At the start we were uncertain of what we would learn/achieve. The industry was experiencing a downturn and the team were struggling to achieve our true potential.

The masterclass transformed each team member into a more confident, dynamic and capable sales professional. We’ve created more leads, better outreach to higher level prospects more interested in our service than the price. Our conversations and conversions improved considerably. Several members of the the team have subsequently achieve massive improvements in their numbers as well as consistent personal bests. Their confidence, persistence and dedication to doing what's necessary to win all came as a result of the course.

Overall, the sales have increased by 29% from March this year to August, a truly impressive result! The sales masterclass with Martyn has truly transformed the sales results of our business.
