Coaching Packages

Monthly Mentoring: 12 monthly 90 minute one on one coaching sessions for a year. $6,497. Less structured than the Business Assessment Intensive, this is more designed for the executive that wants an easier pace and sage advice on a range of issues in his business, or a plan to attack one large issue. The agenda is more fluid according to the specific needs of the executive. We do, however, discover the exact issues and an agenda for dealing with them over the course of the year.

Growth Wizards Coaching for wholesale distributors with Neil Gillespie and Allen Ray (Allen Ray Associates, professional distribution experts). These two really click together when you get both of them thinking on your issues at the same time. It's not like getting the best of two people's advice, it's more like five when they get going on your situation together. 13 Biweekly 90 minute phone consults for six months. $14,557. We use Go-To Meeting and phone lines to conduct these.

Not an official B.O.D., but Sam McCamy and I or Allen Ray and I will meet with your management team using Go To Meeting and conference calling once a month to assist with plans, operational reviews and give direction to help you plan, execute and measure results more effectively, plus respond to issues that arise in the course of the year.  You should have a meeting room with an internet connected computer with a projector or a large screen monitor of 46" or larger.

"Wow, you professionals have high rates".

I get that all the time. But consider this. In 15 minutes I once gave a fellow an idea that generated over $2 million in cash flow. A pricing matrix idea generated $1.3 million in extra gross margin on a $60 million business. My star client, Roden's family members made more than I feel comfortable telling you about. Plus, You'll find that I work equally well on the right brain and left brain sides of issues. I'm as quick with numbers as I am with creative positioning ideas and marketing techniques, while knowing the fundamentals of productivity in operations. When you talk to me, you're talking to someone who knows how all the body parts work together. I'm not just a heart specialist, a bone man or a shrink. I work on the whole patient and that is what gets ultimate results.

Try working with an amateur and see what that costs you. :)
