Benefits of Business Coaching - Sales, Profits, Hiring

While politicians continue to grope for answers about what to do about the economy, businesses that work with ActionCOACH Business Coaches may have discovered the benefits of business coaching with a system that policy makers may want to consider for themselves.

New independent research reveals that business coaching (specifically ActionCOACH business coaching) leads to increased revenues, profits and hiring.

The new study is a continuation of research conducted in 2010 that showed that return on investment (ROI) for businesses that worked with an ActionCOACH was upwards of 750%.

The updated research confirmed those findings, and also revealed that ActionCOACH coached companies increased their hiring of new team members by 7 percent over the course of the study.

ActionCOACH Gareth Shackleton, based in Northumberland, viewed the independent research as confirmation of internal numbers the company has tracked and benchmarked for years.

The study showed that companies coached by ActionCOACH saw an increase in profits of 61 percent. The return on investment metric also increased, jumping 44 percent to an average return of £10.80 for every pound spent.

Dr. Shackleton added, “In studies like this one, we can see that business is the real engine of growth in the economy and that ActionCOACH can boost the power of that engine. Just imagine what kind of economy we’d have if we could boost employment overall by 7 percent!”

Formalised research such as this study not only add to the credibility of business coaching as a proven way to build businesses, it also offers assurance to business owners and entrepreneurs who may have never heard of business coaching that the ActionCOACH systems work - and can be effective for their companies.

ActionCOACH, was founded by Brad Sugars in 1993 and over the past two decades, has become the world’s number one business coaching and executive coaching firm, with more than 1,000 offices in 39 countries.
