The 10 most frequently asked questions….
1. Why do I need a business coach for my Landscape business?
Business today is more competitive, more stressful and changing all the time, so as a business owner of a landscape business it makes perfect sense to engage the services of a business professional that can guide and ensure your future is profitable and much easier.
You have probably made mistakes in the past that were costly or you needed to discuss ideas or problems with someone that can give their objective view based on years of practical experience and what has worked with other business owners in your industry.
Every great performer – swimmer, golfer, tennis player, singer and sports team have utilised the services of coaches and advisors to help guide their success for years. They have known they needed someone to help them continually improve and perform at the highest level.
Many business owners around the world have been engaging the services of a business coach for many years to help them improve their businesses.
John Corban will help you improve, grow, systemise, increase profit and solve problems.
2. Will your Program work for my business?
It definitely works for Landscape businesses and the owners that agree to do the necessary work to improve their business but it doesn’t work for every landscape contractor because some are not willing to do the work.
The process of developing a business so it is profitable and successful requires the business owner gives attention to every area of the business over time. You will be stronger in some areas and less strong in others. It is easy to neglect some areas in a business because as business owners we don’t have enough time. John Corban helps landscape business owners focus on what is immediately needed while giving some attention to the other areas of their business that he and you know are important.
When you use the LandscapersCoach you do not have to make those important decisions alone, he (John Corban) will be helping you. You can draw on his experience of working with many landscape businesses and save yourself time and money while growing your sales, improving your systems and profits.
3. How many months do I need to be coached?
It takes a few months to start seeing results from the work we will do together and every month will build on the previous one. John always suggests to any new client that it is ideal to be coached for a minimum of 12 months. Twelve months is not a long time to help you implement new marketing, sales, money, team building, recruitment, project management strategies, but it is long enough to help you achieve significant positive changes. About 40% of John’s clients have been coached by him for 2 – 3 years and see it as a wise investment that paid for itself in the first few months because John shows them how to make more money every year.
4. Will this mean more work?
Yes it will, but everything you do will only be helping your business improve and grow. You will not be asked to do anything that will not directly impact positively on your business.
Within three months you will be achieving more every day and you will be much more focused.
All John asks is that you spend a minimum of one hour a week working on the exercises and tasks we discuss. When you start seeing results you will be motivated to continue the process.
5. Can I be assured I will get great results?
