When I start dealing with new or potential clients and customers, I often get asked similar questions?
“Why do I need a Business Coach”
“Why should I employ a consultant”
“How can you tell me how to run my company when I know more about it than you”
And all these are very valid questions.
I then normally pose a similar question back to the client.
“When you think of some of the greatest Tennis players, Football players, or even Rugby players in the world, do they have a coach"?
They normally answer; "Of course, they do"
And my next question is normally why? They are the best in the world, what can a coach teach them?
We normally have a pause in the conversation then...
A moment to think, and then most have the same answer,
"To help them improve and become better, to help them become accountable and keep on track with their training."
BINGO…
And that’s what a great business coach can do for you.
They fill the blanks and can help you identify practical solutions or areas you need to focus on in your business and turn these situations into opportunities. They help you structure your business, push you beyond your comfort levels, encourage you to think outside the box, increase your profits and become a sounding board for your ideas and thoughts.
