Why it’s time to invest in an ActionCOACH franchise

7 reasons why ActionCOACH is the UK’s best business opportunity

With a little help from Compare The Financial Markets CEO Michael Plaza, What Franchise gives you seven reasons why ActionCOACH won the UK’s Best Business Opportunity award out of all the available opportunities - not just franchised ones.

1. Anonymous franchisee feedback
————————————————-

First and foremost, the feedback from investors was outstanding. In fact, hot off the press, ActionCOACH UK received further recognition in December 2013 for that by becoming the first organisation to receive Five Star UK Franchisee Satisfaction status. Only nine other companies have achieved this and one of those includes McDonald’s.

2. The number 1 player
———————————

In any given marketplace, there is only room for one or two major players. ActionCOACH is the world’s number one business coaching company - they dominate that space, they own the business coaching dot com, etc. I like to go with the best in whatever I invest in or recommend.

3. Growth market
————————

When ActionCOACH arrived in the UK in 2001, nobody I knew was calling themselves a ‘business coach’ or for that matter knew what one was. ActionCOACH are turning that tide. This is one of the major emerging trends for the foreseeable future. I think it’s fair to say that a decade ago most people felt hiring a business coach was a sign of weakness. Now the likes of Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt have publicly shared that the best advice they ever got was: “To have a coach”. Now’s an opportune time to invest in that momentum.

4. Win:win
—————

It works better than anything else in the marketplace for customers. Every ActionCOACH business coach I’ve met is willing to guarantee return on investment in a one-to-one mentoring programme - as long as the client does the work they agree to - inside six months. Refunds are almost unheard of.

5. Genial business model
————————————

For less than the price of a receptionist, you can hire an ActionCOACH business coach with a track record of helping clients drive up their bottom line profits by 20-40 per cent and more year on year on year. Savvy business investors know that trial and error can dwarf initial investment - ActionCOACH’s proven franchise model cuts out 90 per cent-plus of that crippling cost. The next big factor to look out for when investing in any kind of business is the cost of getting enough customers to make money. I regularly analyse opportunities where the business needs to build up 100-plus customers to make money. With ActionCOACH, for most investors five clients equates to a profitable business.

6. Outstanding support
———————————

The Smith & Henderson UK Franchisee Satisfaction survey results for ActionCOACH, as sponsored by Lloyds Bank for the last two years, are outstanding. Expect to see those results get even better, as ActionCOACH UK commits hundreds of thousands of pounds to its exclusive client generation centre in Chesterfield. “Great Camaraderie, support and ideas are readily available,” Claire Derry, ActionCOACH Franchise Partner (pictured), says.

7. Guaranteed monthly income
——————————————

ActionCOACH is the only franchise company I know that will offer a written guarantee to the right candidate that his or her investment is safe, as long as the investor follows the marketing plan and uses the ActionCOACH system. “When they say the right candidates can earn £50,000 a month, it’s true,” Michael Plaza, says.

If you’re the type of person who finds a way to get things done, loves helping people and has a passion for learning, this is the fastest route to freedom and fulfilment that any business investor can enjoy.
