Business-to-business
“Alan’s thriving ActionCOACH business has not only expanded substantially to 31 clients and a monthly income of £27,000, but also garnered acknowledgement for his accomplishments, securing awards for Best Client Ratings for Scotland for six consecutive years and Scottish Coach of the Year for the last two!”
further, it’s attractiveness grew – I could see the potential rewards, both financially and personally. Franchising bridged the gap as I was unsure about starting a business from scratch. I’d have my own business but with all the necessary support at my fingertips.”
The initial training and the ongoing support Alan regards his 10 days at ActionCOACH University as life-changing, saying: “The training was demanding, yet very thorough. I can’t recall any aspect of the business world that was left untouched. “The training wasn’t just about learning how to do
business or become a coach, it helped me become a better person. It directed me to see things from fresh angles, revealing a world beyond the corporate sphere, just waiting for me to explore.” Nevertheless, Alan understood that there would be
challenges ahead. Upon returning home, he dedicated most of his time to learning. ActionCOACH’s vast library of knowledge proved decisive as Alan looked to get up to speed when bringing his first clients into the business. “The support through the transition between
training and practice was crucial, it was such a great learning curve. It really has helped not only my business to go from strength-to-strength but me as a person too. “I still love to interact with and learn from
ActionCOACH’s daily webinars. Plus, meeting colleagues at our signature events, like BizX, is another great benefit of being a franchise partner. You can never stop learning to better you and your business – ActionCOACH really gives you the infrastructure to do so.” Alan’s thriving ActionCOACH business has not
only expanded substantially to 31 clients and a monthly income of £27,000, he has also garnered acknowledgement for his accomplishments, securing awards across various categories including winning the award for Best Client Ratings for Scotland for six consecutive years and the Scottish Coach of the Year in both 2022 and 2023. There’s a lot to choose from, but what does Alan love most about the day-to-day operating of his business? “ActionCOACH really excels at recognising and rewarding its members,” Alan comments. “It’s

validation for the hard work you put in but also shows that you’re helping your local community. Winning these awards makes you feel very proud, but I’m prouder still to be giving back.”
Plans for the future? Alan concludes that: “Using the connections I’ve made through my ActionCOACH business, I’ve identified an investment opportunity that will support my family long- term, creating space for more priceless time with them. “I’m now approaching the 10th anniversary of
my ActionCOACH franchise and have successfully accomplished my initial objective of business ownership. Assisting hundreds of people in my local business community, I’m reaping both financial rewards and friendships, alongside having greater freedom for both me and my family – a luxury I simply could not have envisaged when stuck in the daily grind of my corporate career.” For more information about finding fulfilment
