1. Business Diagnostic Analysis and Report
The Business Diagnostic precedes either a Face to Face or Phone coaching program and is usually only completed in conjunction with these programs. It is available as a stand alone product at a higher one off fee. The ABC Business Coach conducts a detailed four (4) hour analysis of the business with the business owner using the comprehensive Business Essentials Questionnaire and our Business Manager software. Then all of the information is analysed and consolidated into a detailed Business Diagnostic Report. This process usually takes two (2) week assuming all relevant information is available at the time the coach meets with the business owner.
The diagnostic report provides a summary of key findings, a detailed list of improvement recommendations, and an overview of the coaching sessions planned for the business over the next 12 months including the steps required to achieve both your business and personal goals. Importantly, this includes identifying the current status and the desired outcomes for each of the 7 Profit Drivers within the business.
2. Face to Face Business Coaching
Face to Face Business Coaching is by far the most affective coaching solution as the ABC Business Coach comes out to your business and works with you on your challenges within your business environment. This allows the coach to observe the business on an ongoing basis to continue to identify opportunities for improvement during every session. All ABC Business Coaching Face to Face business coaching sessions are two hour sessions to allow sufficient time to review progress, teach strategies, and work together on strategy implementation. They can be conducted weekly, fortnightly or monthly over a twelve month period (or a mix of these frequencies).
A coach has the flexibility to tailor a Face to Face business coaching program to suit the client’s needs. This is done by determining an ideal number and frequency of sessions to be provided over the twelve month period based on the needs identified through the initial consultation and the Business Diagnostic process.
For example a business coaching program for a client may commence with two sessions per month for the first six months, dropping back to one session per month for the remaining six months. However the minimum number of 2 hour FTF business coaching sessions that can make up any twelve month coaching program is 12. You also receive Weekly Reporting and Monthly Analysis of your Key Performance Indicators.
3. Phone/ Skype Business Coaching
The One-on-One Phone Business Coaching program consists of four telephone business coaching phone sessions per month, each lasting ½ hour over a twelve month period. It is more suited to the smaller types of businesses or where the business owner really only needs someone to keep them on track on a weekly basis.
The phone business coaching program also includes business tracking using the exclusive Dirigo Business Coaching software program called Business Manager. It is also an ideal coaching program for regional clients who may be too remote to undergo FTF coaching. In this instance the sessions could be extended to continue for one hour, either fortnightly or weekly. You also receive Weekly Reporting and Monthly Analysis of your Key Performance Indicators.
