‘To maintain the level of professionalism that comes with being a high end boutique Landscape Company, a progressive approach was needed, so Landart Landscapes decided to engage an experienced business coach named John Corban to implement better systems, maintain focus and increase profit.
His commitment to supporting the company and assisting us in overcoming hurdles has been crucial in taking the business forward. Since engaging his services we have improved the way we work and that has resulted in a 300% increase in net profits in our maintenance and construction businesses. John Corban has become part of our team.
John will get involved in and treat your business like his own with the added benefit of viewing it from the outside.’
Matt Leacy – Director of Landart Landscapes
‘After working with John for just 14 months we have doubled our workforce, doubled our sales and nearly trebled our profits’
‘After 7 years in business, we found that Impressions Landscape – Design had stalled at a level that we were completely unsatisfied with.
We knew where we wanted to go, and we thought we knew what we had to do to get there, but in reality we had no idea of how to put it all together.
John’s Coaching sessions have given us a blue print of how our business should be working and how to attain the goals we have set for our company.
He coaches us on business systems, sales and marketing strategies, staffing, leadership, project management and time management. John constantly motivates us to drive the business forward. After 2 years of working with John we now have 6 months worth of projects booked.
If you are serious about improving your business, John Corban will give you the focus and direction to take your Landscaping business to the next level.’

‘John Corban has helped Harrison’s Landscaping grow into one of Sydney’s leading landscaping companies ‘
‘Over the time that John has helped to systemise and generally improve our business it has occurred to me that, just because we were good landscapers and had great customer service, didn’t mean that I had any training in business. Working with John has been my apprenticeship in business and I would highly recommend any business owner passionate about succeeding to do the same. Harrison’s would not be where it is today without John’s help.’

‘My water management co – Watermatic has doubled sales in the first 12mths John started helping me’
I first started working with John Corban in November 2010 to assist me in growing my business. John’s program is structured, although his approach is flexible. He has worked with me on improving our marketing, financial and general business systems which has lead to a noticeable increase in efficiency, increased sales and accountability. Watermatic doubled sales in the first 12mths John started helping me. Setting targets and people management systems has made a huge difference to the way I run my business.
John’s approach will help any business owner focus on doing the right things in the right order to attain maximum results.’

‘After struggling with getting my business started and barely keeping it afloat for 8 years I was running out of energy and the idea of being my own boss was getting to the end of its road, there seemed to be a lot of possible profit available but for many reasons I was finalising each passing year in a loss. After a loss of $30,000 in 2011, I knew something needed to change and that’s were John came in.
John helped us to identify where things were going wrong and started implementing systems for everything.
We now have had these systems running for six months and things have changed dramatically for us. John has helped us turn a -$30,000 loss to a $60,000 profit in this past year. That’s a turn around of $90,000.00 and it included John fees which were inexpensive.
We (my wife and I) are both extremely happy with the businesses progress over the last year and very excited about the years to come. We both could not recommend John Corban more. His good nature, professional service and overall positive outlook would be hard to beat.’

‘I found John to have a deep understanding of the landscaping industry with a lot of helpful and practical information that I could apply to my business. He is very amenable and can be a real asset to anyone wishing to structure or grow their business.’
Hanna Gammon – Managing Director of Junglefy
‘Since hiring John we have come to rely on his monthly advice.
John provides the steps to work on reaching our Business Vision. He has helped to improve the business by implementing systems and he motivates us to keep on track and focused on our goals.
John’s knowledge and understanding of the landscape industry is second to none among business coaches. John knows how small/medium businesses operate and allows you to progress a rate that suits your business and needs.
We look forward to continuing John’s ‘coaching’ to reach our ultimate goals of working smarter, gaining more profit, and having more time to spend with our family.
I can recommend John without hesitation.’
Glenn Roberts – owner of Sydney Garden Works
‘Pinnacle Pools have used John’s services over the last 12 months.
We have been running this business for over 9 years and we learnt so much from John’s expertise.
When you are running your own business sometimes you lose track of your direction as your business and lifestyle distracts you. John helped us focus on our brand and which direction we wanted to head in and how to attract more clients.
He is extremely professional and made a lot of good suggestions.
I would highly recommend John to anyone even if you have much experience running a business.’
Sandy Crestani – Director Pinnacle Pools
