ActionCOACH Business Coach makes the leap from employee to successful entrepreneur.

PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 22, 2009 – ActionCOACH Business Coach makes the leap from employee to successful entrepreneur.

With the tough economic times New Zealand is facing, many business owners are concerned about how their business will fare in next 12 months. ‘This is great news for ActionCOACH Business Coaching franchisees,' says general manager Bruce Wilson. ‘In tough economic times, the demand for skilled business coaches only increases.' Marti Amos, New Zealand's top ActionCOACH Business Coach, agrees. Despite the tough business environment, in July 2008 Marti became the top-ranked coach in New Zealand and sixth in the world out of 1,287 coaches in 24 countries. The achievement, based on monthly sales revenue, was the result of Marti turning over $461,250 in 2008 - up from $62,223 in 2004.

Like all ActionCOACH Business Coaches, Marti has practical hands-on experience that he can pass on to clients having previously held various senior management positions in large corporates like ihug, Honda Motorcycles NZ and Pirelli Tyres NZ. ‘The success I've enjoyed has been a direct result of the training and support I received from ActionCOACH,' Marti says. ‘After climbing to the top of the corporate ladder, I had become dissatisfied with my job. I wanted to be in control of my own destiny and make my own financial and lifestyle decisions.'

ActionCOACH was started by Australian entrepreneur Brad Sugars in 1993. From there, Sugars perfected the business coaching system before exporting it to New Zealand in 1997. 15 years later, ActionCOACH has been named the number one business coaching franchise in the world by Entrepreneur magazine. ‘What makes the franchise unique are its marketing, sales and coaching systems, which have been perfected by over eight years of rigorous testing and improvement by more than 1200 ActionCOACH business coaches. The track record of ActionCOACH is like no other,' Bruce says confidently. ‘For people with corporate experience, this business is ideal because you can take that experience and put it to use immediately in your own franchise.'

To become an ActionCOACH Business Coach requires an investment of $80,000. Bruce also suggests that franchisees allow themselves around $20,000 for working capital - an ingredient he says is often overlooked by potential franchisees. For Marti Amos, there's no question that he would choose an ActionCOACH Business Coaching franchise if he started over again. ‘ I now only work three days a week, I take two overseas holidays a year and drive a Porsche 996 Carrera - something I could never have done working for someone else.'
