Transforming Business Performance With Business Coaching

“Sales and Profit Growth, Less Hours, Less Stress”
Mark, President, Auto Repair Shop

Mark is an intelligent and hardworking small business owner. He owns an Auto Repair Shop, and his business performance was making a small amount of profits, however, it was causing him a high level of stress.

When we first met in our 30-minute Breakthrough Session, he was struggling with stress from working long hours, having constant employee interruptions, and had no vacation for several years.

“Before I was under extreme stress from being constantly interrupted, was working way too many hours, and had not taken a vacation in several years.“

Mark was overwhelmed with all the tasks that he thought he needed to do. So, in our coaching sessions, we introduced to him our Time Mastery System and Delegation strategies, which I’m going to discuss below, so keep on reading.  This system and strategies helped him prioritize tasks and allowed Mark to be able to focus on CEO-level tasks.

“My coach at Small Business Coach Associates helped me to evaluate the costs/benefits of hiring two new employees and gave me the assurance that I could justify the additional expense.”

We showed him the benefits of having employees to help you run your business on a day-to-day basis. We discussed with Mark the extra cost and benefits if he decided to hire a team member.

After he implemented the time mastery system and delegated tasks to his new team members, Mark saw tremendous growth in his business performance both sales and profits.

“My sales and profits have grown even with the new hires”

Now Mark has more time to focus on growing his business. The time mastery system and delegation not only reduced his workload but also helped him to delegate tasks that were not his expertise.

Role of the coach

A business coach can be your partner in taking the path toward success. With a business coach’s experience in running a business, they can help you with strategies to improve your business systems and ensure your success.

Our coach introduced Mark to proven strategies and systems that can simplify his business processes. We also guided Mark in his decision to hire new team members, which gave him tremendous confidence and clarity to expand his team.

This move led to the growth of his sales and profits, lessening his stress level and allowing him to work less hours. This allowed him to do the things he loves and to take long vacations.

Furthermore, we also helped Mark with how to motivate his team effectively. Mark put his learnings into action which enabled him to inspire his team and ensure that they aligned with his business mission, vision, and goals.

Team Member Motivation

There are many aspects to your business success, and your team is one of them. They play an important role in your business success. You as a business owner must be able to motivate your team members, making them do their best while doing their responsibilities and feel that they were able to impart to your business.

Here are three tips to effectively motivate your team:

1. Effective Communication: 

We suggested that Mark do a daily huddle for at least 15 to 30 minutes.  This way you can communicate to your team what needs to be finished for the day. You can determine if they have any questions about the tasks they are about to perform.

You don’t need to do it daily, especially if you are very busy, but at least do it 3 times a week. The daily huddle is not always about what tasks to work on, but you can take this time to recognize and appreciate your team members’ work, by simply saying, “I appreciate the things you do.” It is a simple sentence, but it holds a huge power to make your team members day and motivate them.

Another thing for you is to have a weekly meeting, monthly meeting, or quarterly meeting. Having a regular meeting with your team members builds a collaborative culture. This is also a place for open communication, where your team will discuss challenges, successes, and ideas.

Moreover, this promotes accountability among your team members, ensuring that everyone is on the same boat with the business mission, vision, and goals.

2. Recognition and Rewards: 

Acknowledging your team members’ achievements by giving rewards or by verbal recognition is an effective tool to boost their motivation.

“Thank you for your contribution and outstanding efforts”

“I truly appreciate your hard work and skills”

“We are lucky/blessed to have you on the team”

Performance bonuses: You can provide monetary rewards to your team members when they surpass performance metrics. Doing this can also be used as a motivator.

Promotions: Promoting your team members to a higher position is also an effective way to boost their morale and recognize their commitment to your business.

3. Development Opportunities: 

Developing your team members is a huge factor that has a great impact on keeping your high-caliber team members. You can allow them to attend seminars and workshops either online or face-to-face. This allows your team members to grow both professionally and personally, which can be beneficial to your business.

Strategic decision

Mark’s decision to hire a business coach to help him overcome his personal and business challenges is already part of his strategic decision to achieve success.

“My sales and profits have grown even with the new hires”

Many business owners like Mark are not willing to hire people to help them run the business, and there are many reasons why they don’t want to hire or doubt if they need to hire new people.

It is because they don’t think they need to hire people; they think that they can do everything. They don’t trust that people can do the job better than they do; or their business can’t afford it.

In Mark’s case, it was clear that his business can afford to hire people, but he did not realize the benefits of hiring people to help him run the business. And so Mark and his coach looked at a comprehensive analysis of the cost-benefit of adding people to his team.

“Coaching has made me progress much faster than I would have otherwise. I just purchased the property for my second location!”

Hiring two new team members into his business has shown an outstanding result for Mark’s business. This strategic decision allows Mark to effectively delegate tasks, minimize stress, and take vacations without worrying about his day-to-day business operations.

Mark’s success shows that adding people to his team did not weigh heavily on his business’s finances; instead, it contributed to the growth in sales and profits and to his business expansion.

Coaching Package

We, Small Business Coach Associates, have crafted various coaching packages to cater to the unique needs and size of any business. We highly suggest to our prospects and to our clients that they get the coaching package that offers them four coaching sessions monthly. That is because it builds consistent communication, feedback, and momentum to address issues, seize opportunities, and make adjustments or improvements to business success.

However Mark decided to purchase our bronze package which has 2 coaching sessions every month.

How did Mark achieve amazing success, despite only having two coaching sessions per month?

Mark is an action-taker!

He implemented all the strategies and techniques that were suggested by his coach, which means he was dedicated to making every coaching session count.

His dedication and commitment to achieving success have led him to a successful coaching relationship and sales and profit growth while working fewer hours, experiencing less stress, and enjoying vacations.

Business expanding 

“He encouraged me to activate the best business coaching programs that help me to market my business and measure results“

Mark’s success in growing his business sales and profits and expanding his business is a result of strategic planning, improving business systems and effective coaching. His dedication and accountability to thrive contributed to the success of the coaching program.

A business will not be successful even if it has the best coach in the world if the business owner is not willing to work. It is important to remember that the coach is there to provide you with guidance, solutions, and strategies on how to improve your business and how to achieve the results you want.
