So far this year, ActionCOACH has recruited 27 franchise partners and May saw a record 12 people in its UK training room.

The company’s network is now over 200 strong - the highest number of franchise partners ActionCOACH has had operating at any one time.

Mark Van Rol, who has more than 20 years’ experience in management consultancy, says: “I joined ActionCOACH because I love business and am passionate about helping people.

“The ActionCOACH system, sense of community and ethos of giving back provides a fantastic platform to help business owners grow their companies and improve their lives.

“The five-day training was one of the best and most challenging things I have ever done in my life.”

While franchise partners are at ‘ActionCOACH Uni’, the UK support team execute a targeted marketing campaign to 40 business owners, while in a second week of hands-on training partners are taught how to convert them into prospects and then into paying clients.

Partners also get to develop their digital marketing presence and at the end of the week create and diarise an action plan for their first quarter, ensuring they have the momentum for a successful business launch.
