"The results of working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm have been more than I expected. Our sales are up 97% over last year and growing; and, our profit is up 654%! And that after paying the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm fees. I have already gotten back my investment in the ACTION program 11 times over and we've only been working together for 10 months." - Richard Courbron, Owner, Fairfield County Drywall


"Since working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, sales are up 25% and profits are up 29%. We have just completed one of our most profitable years in the history of our business. I am grateful for the controls and metrics we were able to install which will allow me to monitor my organization from any location; as well as to provide an objective basis for evaluating and motivating my employees. I am most appreciative of the framework of productivity which my coach shared with me. I am fully confident that the homework and planning outline that we developed will carry me successfully into the New Year and move me toward a more predictable cash flow; and, consequently reduce our debt and pay for our daughter's college fund. It is not entirely out of the question that we will be able to purchase another franchise should we so desire as we are well on our way with a good roadmap in our hands thanks to the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm." - Paul Plouffe, ServiceMaster of Greater Bridgeport, Owner

"Before I found the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, I didn't know what I was going to do with my business. Profits were declining, my employees were unproductive; and, I had lost confidence in my ability to run a successful business. Working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm changed all that. Today, my profits are up 247%; my team is highly motivated; the business is growing faster that it ever has; and I am feeling great about the future!" - Catherine Vander, Seemore Real Estate, Owner


"When I hired the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, I was working over 80 hours a week in my business. I needed a break! My coach showed me how to take control of my time, delegate effectively, and stay focused on building value in my business. After hiring the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, I saw a reduction in the hours that I had to work in my business almost immediately. After four months, I reduced the hours I was spending in the business by over 30%; and my wife and I took our first full week vacation in almost two years. Thanks to my coach, I've now got time to work on my business, not just in it!" - Paul Cook, Your Company Store, Owner


"Since working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, we have reduced the age of our Accounts Receivable by 25% and have increased profits by 97%.

"I have been working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm since last fall, and I cannot say enough about what a positive and inspiring influence it has been on my business life. My coach is a cheerleader, coach, management consultant, marketing specialist, and therapist all rolled into one. The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm has helped me bring in new clients, has given me a focus and confidence that I never had before, and most recently, has helped me hire two new team members. Before my coach and I started working together I was PenPower Communications. Now we are three." - Kathee Rebernak, PenPower Communications, Principal

"Over the years, I have tried a few industry specific consultants to help me improve my business. But, the industry experts always came in and told me things that I already knew! After all, I have been in this business longer than most of them. The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm brings a fresh perspective to their clients. My coach challenges us to find the strategies and ideas that do not immediately come to mind. He helps us to be more creative in our approach to building revenue and profit. Since working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, I am more motivated and more focused than ever!" - Kevin Gentry, Gentry Capital Management, Owner


"When I first hired the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, I was concerned about the level of investment that I was going to have to make in his services. But after working with my coach, I can say that my decision to work with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm was one of the best business decisions that I have ever made. We have seen a 713% increase in sales and a 2,125% increase in profit with no sign of slowing down!" - Kathee Rebernak, PenPower Communications, Principal


"The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm was of great support and assistance during and after my purchase of a company. The organization I inherited had some good clients but was lacking in direction and organization. Through the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, we employed a focused goals program, defined responsibilities, established operating procedures and essentially got the team pulling in the same motivated direction. Within 3 months sales more than doubled and the groundwork was established for a self generating revenue stream. We are now in a position to add employees and take the company to the next level." - David W. Claiborne, President, TexSource LLC


“I just wanted to say thank the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm for yesterday's meeting. I know you took some extra time with me, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. When I got to the books this morning, a light bulb went off. I understand P&L's vs. the Balance Sheet in a new and invigorating way. The little nugget of info my coach gave me regarding Cash vs. Accrual basis was the missing link to everything. I've understood it, but not in such a clear way. This is going to be a time saver for me, not to mention the relief I feel. I know we can't always know what an impact we have on people in our transfer of knowledge - especially when it comes to the little details. So, thank you for the little things you've given me - they are priceless.” - Jennifer Trahan, Suzuki School of Music

“Thanks to the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm for the great day. I think we went over a lot of great information and set up some good procedures. Cloe is very excited about the new stuff and is on board 100%.” - Brian Parks, Brian Parks Energy Systems, LLC


“Very rarely do you find someone who has the ability to have laser focus on what is most critical to you and your business success. The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm started working with me and Stone + Company when our revenues had not grown much and in fact we were coming off a terrible year in 2005. After the initial 3 months of working together we built a solid reproducible sales process that we use today and continue to improve on. Nine months into our work we tripled our average $ sales performance, and after 12 months have more than doubled our revenues. We are positioned for the New Year in the best shape yet and even though we have a huge amount of work ahead of us, we have more opportunities then we ever have had.  On a personal note, I finally feel like I am truly leading my firm with confidence even through really challenging times. When I have deep concerns, my coach is there, understands what needs to be done to help get my thoughts focused in the right direction. For that I am deeply thankful. Thank you to the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm for all that you do for me, my colleagues, our clients and my family.” - Laura Stone, CEO and Owner, Stone + Company Consultants

“ActionCOACH has made an immense  impact on my business. Before I began working with my coach, my business was floundering. My coach first helped me define who we were as a business. Being able to clearly articulate the aspects of our business that differentiated us from the competition have pushed our initial sales through the roof. From there, working with my ActionCOACH we began to develop and implement marketing strategies that have created sustainable growth and profitability. I have always had a number of ideas on how to grow my business. But, my coach has helped me to prioritize them, put them into action and taught me how to easily evaluate which ones provided the most profit. Since working with ActionCOACH, we have dramatically improved the company’s cash flow. I no longer see my business as a burden, but an enjoyable avenue to attaining my dreams. My coaching program with ActionCOACH has certainly helped me to take by business to a whole new level!” - Mike Henrick, Owner, Henrick Home Construction http://www.henrickhomeconstruction.com/

"Working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm has been the best thing to happen to our business.  It has allowed us to grow and see the infinite opportunities we have and gives us the tools to achieve our goals.  The ongoing meetings and homework keep us positively engaged in growing and improving our business." - Michele & Will Sibley, Owners, New Beginnings Landscaping

“Working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm has been a true pleasure. Over the past year, I have seen our coaching sessions develop from “sales 101” mini trainings to strategic game plans on building sound business relationships that will last a lifetime. I have found our coaching sessions to be especially valuable while doing the day- to-day tasks. By implementing programs such as the “Keep in Touch” program and our “5 x 3” strategy, I am able to continually develop my relationships.  With Action’s help and guidance, I have spent the past 2 months among the top 10 performers at Humanscale and plan to secure a permanent seat among the top 10. As for furthering myself as a person, I have seen my confidence, knowledge, and professionalism grow exponentially over the past year. I thank you for that!!  Over the past year I have learned so much from the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm. I appreciate all the wisdom and guidance you have shared with me, and look forward to learning much more from you in years to come!” - Katy Nicholas, Humanscale

 “Through the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm’s efforts, expertise and guidance (“coaching”) the hard work, dedication, knowledge and loyalty of my entire team is renewed, focused and finally communicating.  The techniques and action planning ActionCOACH has patiently taught us were the catalyst in creating our new MVP (mission, vision and purpose), business plan and 2006 budget.  We have achieved a 44% increase in sales including a $950,000 record month, expenses are down and our customers are talking about our new fanatical approach to customer service. All in 6 months…Thank you very much!” - Michael J. Madden, Synergy Security Systems, Inc.

 “CJ and I would like to take a minute of your time to say THANK YOU! We are beginning our 6^th month with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm and I have to say that these past 6 months have been illuminating personally and professionally for both of us. We have seen a record sales year in 2006, a record sales and review month in January of 2007 and a keen focus on success in 2007. Your recommendations about team, sales process, operations and marketing strategies have all been very well received by our team and have shown in the short time to be of great value.  We look forward to our weekly meetings as a source of motivation, education and dialogue. We have both gained valuable insight into our business management strengths and weaknesses. The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm’s vast knowledge of every aspect of business- sales, marketing, operations, finance, team building affords us a great resource that will help our business grow.  As we are entering uncharted waters with our growing business it is very comforting and empowering to have you as our coach and business partner and we have no doubt that we will succeed in reaching all of our goals.  Every business owner who wants to grow their business and be successful, no matter how experienced or educated they think they are would benefit from the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm if nothing else to keep the focus where it needs to be, as I believe, in today’s business environment where business owners are performing many roles, it is very easy to loss focus on growing your business. We recommend the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm to every business person we talk to and always reference what you have done for us.  Thank you again we are looking forward to another record breaking year in 07 with your continued guidance.” – Sue and CJ Carlson, Pilothouse Communications, LLC 

 “When I met the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm, I didn’t think I could afford a coach yet. I kept thinking, “as soon as I make $x” -   I had been telling myself that for two years. I don’t think we spoke for even 15 minutes before I know I couldn’t afford not to make you my coach.  Three months later, the website was up. Six months later, my gross commissions have increased by 300%. I’m controlling my time, I’m tracking my business, and I’m enjoying both my work and my family more than ever before. You’re helping me learn how to get off the 10,000-foot level and develop tactical plans. The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm has taught me how to take charge of my business – I document, I prioritize, and I set high, yet attainable goals and I meet them. This alone is more than enough reason to sing your praises.” - Robin Hannon, President, Coastal Homes America, LLC

“Working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm has helped me streamline my workday by making me put together process maps and detailed flow charts that has literally freed up my time and allowed me the ability to think creatively about my business. My continued growth is a direct result of working with the ActionCOACH ProfitCLUB on a monthly basis, so THANK YOU.” - Michael Guerin, Automated Merchant Processing, LLC http://automatedmerchantservicesllc.com

“In the 18 years I have been self employed I have never been more focused, goal oriented and motivated. We have achieved this in the first 4 months in working with the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm. Where my team and I will take Herman Brothers in the future is very exciting. I do not want to look back, but I wish I had made the decision to hire ActionCOACH years ago. I strongly recommend any business owner to invest in their company and themselves by hiring ActionCOACH. The sky is the limit. Thank you.” Erick Herman, Herman Brothers Landscaping http://www.hermanbroscorp.com/

“The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm is 100% perfect for us! I am learning more now about running a business than I have in 22 years!   I am realizing that if you do not follow the process, I will never achieve financial freedom”. Maureen Mackey, Mackey & Guasco Staffing and Associates, LLC http://www.mackeyandguasco.com/

“I highly recommend the program and the ActionCOACH Next Level Firm!   Regardless of size, revenue, industry or number of years in business, everyone can benefit from a Business COACH. Even entrepreneurs need managers!!” Lu Guasco, Mackey & Guasco Staffing and Associates, LLC http://www.mackeyandguasco.com/

“The ActionCOACH Next Level Firm is the perfect fit. What we lack in business experience that pertains to systems, financing etc., ActionCOACH has delivered. The ActionCOACH Next Level firm’s business experience has helped keep our business on track and heading in the right direction – up!” Paul Fujitani, Growing Solutions http://www.growso.com/ 

“Working with the ActionCOACH Next Level firm has completely changed how we view our business. We are now looking or taking a closer look at key indicators from a financial and sales / marketing standpoint. Their ability to get Paul and I to focus on items we need to change has made us feel like we can be successful with our venture. Our coach truly cares about us, not only on a business level, but on a personal level as well.   We wish we could have hired ActionCOACH sooner. Chris Baliko, Growing Solutions http://www.growso.com/
