Located in Southend-on-Sea, Paul
Flavin’s fi nancial services company, Zing, gives people access to quality mortgage advice at a time and place that best suits them. Paul explains his journey with ActionCOACH, which led him to win Best Overall Company at the 2016 Business Excellence Awards. “In 2011, I agreed to a free business health check and met with my ActionCOACH, whose fi rst question was: ‘Is business living up to expectations?’ My reply was: ‘I didn’t expect a lot and that’s what it’s living up to.’ This is when I realised, unless something changed, Zing would be a mediocre group of mortgage advisers constantly scratching around for leads. That’s when I decided to try ActionCOACH. “I attended GrowthCLUB, the 90-day planning workshops, and I had weekly one-to-one meetings with my mortgage advisers. As the company grows and splits into its own specialist areas, the need for ongoing training becomes more important. Established systems are now
“I would urge anyone in business to seek the support of ActionCOACH; it’s not a sign of failure but proof that you are serious about taking your business to its full potential”
“With only a small addition to adviser numbers, our revenues have exploded. In 2012, revenue was £219,163. We implemented changes and with the full force of the ActionCOACH mentoring programme behind us, it began to impact massively on our performance. We achieved a staggering £906,661 in revenue in 2015 – a business growth of 314 per
being broken down further to see where quality improvements and time savings can be made. These systems will then be fed across and adapted to suit other areas of the business.
Paul continued: “We attended the ActionCOACH Business Excellence Forum and Awards in March and had sent in an entry earlier in the year, thinking this would be a great way to get recognition for our progress. I was astounded to fi nd out that we had won Best Overall Company and were also fi nalists in the Best Service- Based Business and Fastest Growing Business categories. “The award came as a complete shock. Given the company we were in, I was proud to have been shortlisted in two categories, but to win the evening’s top award just blew me away. Working with Lucas has made a real difference to the way we approach business. I would urge anyone in business to seek the support of ActionCOACH; it’s not a sign of failure but proof that you are serious about taking your business to its full potential. After all, name me a top sportsman who doesn’t have a top coach.” Lucas added: “I really believe there’s an ActionCOACH for every business owner out there. Having any sort of coach is about being pushed harder than you’d push yourself, to get better results than you probably thought possible. “I’m extremely proud to be associated with the success Zing has created and the difference Paul and his team have made to the lives of those they serve. Zing’s story, so far, is a wonderful example of what’s possible when knowledge and action collide.”
Lucas’s experience
“I had a tough two years building this business and learning my new profession, but now I’m eclipsing my corporate earnings, on my own terms, in a two-and- a-half-day week, so I get all the time I want with my family. I admire the calibre of people I get to work with and learn from, and I’ve got the satisfaction of knowing that my clients are the biggest winners,” Lucas concluded.
