Karen Bershad of The Small Business Advisor Awarded the First Quarter Focus Award

ATLANTA - April 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA – April 30, 2014 – ActionCOACH Atlanta announced today that Karen Bershad, owner of The Small Business Advisor (http://www.smallbusinessadvisor.biz) has been awarded the FOCUS Award for the results her business achieved during the first quarter 2014.

The ActionCOACH Focus Award was introduced 2009 and is presented to businesses who accomplish significant results in their business during a calendar quarter by following the plan they created during the previous GrowthCLUB 90-day planning event.  This FOCUS Award was presented at the ActionCOACH GrowthCLUB held at ActionCOACH Atlanta on March 21, 2014.

In December 2013 while attending her seventh GrowthCLUB, Ms. Bershad created a plan setting her goals for the first quarter and the strategies and tactics she would use to achieve those goals.  Her goals included increasing her revenue by 75% and her profits by 60% year-over-year. In working with her Coach Jeff Lovejoy, Ms. Bershad was able to increase her year-over year revenue by 78% and her year-over year profits by 85%, exceeding both her goals for the quarter.

The plan that Ms. Bershad created, and followed, had her laser focused on marketing, customer service, instituting long-needed strategic planning and doing what was necessary to achieve these results.  Combining business education with a solid action plan including accountability calls is what led her to her outstanding results during the quarter.

The Small Business Advisor works with owners of small to medium size businesses to help them lower their internal expenses. The two primary areas of focus are bookkeeping (QuickBooks Certified) and outsourced legal services (LegalShield). During the past 18 years, Ms. Bershad’s company has worked with hundreds of business owners to grow and protect their businesses.
