To Dave Prescott

From Louise Palmer – CamYoga (Cambridge Yoga Centre)

I guess I was skeptical about business coaching before I met Dave Prescott. But having been through three sessions with him, I am now a convert.

I was at a critical point in the growth of my business when I met Dave, and just before our second meeting, I had hit a crisis. In the space of two hours Dave managed to turn the situation round for me, and I have never looked back. For that one meeting alone it has been worth every penny.

I always had a strong vision of the future of my business, but Dave has really given me the practical tools for how to get there. But much more than that, he has opened my eyes to new ways of doing things, and a new way of thinking about the business.

In just three two hour sessions, I have become more organised, focused on goals, with better prioritising, and above all confident in myself, my business, and my team.

I have retained Dave as we now move forward into a new phase of the business, and I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with him.

I have no hesitation in recommending him, and have done so to some of my colleagues. Even if you don’t think you need help, you will be surprised, and amazed (as I was) at the difference it can make.

From Graham Barton (Barton Electrical)

Barton Electrical provides electrical maintenance, installations, and service engineers, for both the domestic and light commercial customers. When Barton Electrical first started to embrace business coaching in October 2008, the business was awaiting administration and the closure of the business. The business was suffering from a mixture of financial meltdown, tax issues, staff issues, material costs, & high levels of electrical component stocks.

I signed up for the 1-2-1 face to face, Platinum program, of 2 hours per week, mentoring with Dave Prescott – Action COACH. We are now getting better results and more productivity from my team, which results in more revenue, from my electricians than I ever did in the past. Turnover up 55% since commencing coaching. Profit increased by 44% in pre tax profit, since commencing coaching with Dave Prescott. I now know the numbers within my business, communicate far better with my team, that are now providing a better quality service to my customers. 

With Dave’s expierence and guidance, I have carried out appraisals, identified skill gaps, put in training and replaced poor performance with better staff to service my customers. Barton Electrical in Ipswich, has scooped a national accolade following a customer vote. Barton Electrical was voted the most loved firm of electricians in the Uk in a nationwide search run by TheBestOf. 

Dave has helped me become more knowledgeable about running a business, with a will to succeed, and he has installed more confidence within me, and my team, to deliver a first class service to my customers.

From John Ballance (The Utility Warehouse)

I took advantage of Dave’s comlimentary coaching session recently. We discussed:

• Personal development
• Working ON the business, instead of just IN it. 
• What is holding me back?

Dave listened well and showed a real interest in me and my business. He gave me some really useful advise, and a couple of rather useful strategies for moving my business forward.

I also took advantage of one of Dave’s workshops. I found this really interesting, and came away with several useful tips and ideas. I would recommend anyone who is serious about their personal development and/or who is wanting to grow their business, to have a coaching session with Dave Prescott, and to attend one of his workshops.

From: Matt Porter (matt@mattporter.com)

Dear Dave

Thank you for the time you have spent with our business over the last year, I felt obliged to attach the following testimonial for you.

Dave Prescott from Action Coach has visited our offices over the past year, he has spent time discussing our business and more specifically, our goals for the future. Dave was able to establish very quickly how we work as a business, and was able to make recommendations as to how we could make small changes to our working practices and day to day management which in turn would give us a much stronger market position in the future.

Dave is knowledgeable, approachable, professional and has real empathy. I would highly recommend him to other businesses.

From: Mark Grant

Dave…

I just wanted to write and say THANK YOU to you…

I’ve been coaching now for almost 6 years and I recognise that I’ve got comfortable and complacent…

I knew deep down that I’m capable of better!

So when the opportunity arose to be coached by you I jumped at it – making the decision aroused feelings of excitement and apprehension, knowing that for this to be a worthwhile investment of my time and yours I’d have to be accountable to you!

You may be new to the Action community, Dave, but you’re definitely not new to coaching – you have the skills to bring out the best in me and in a firm and friendly way, encouraging me to commit to actions that I ordinarily would never do. My self esteem doesn’t cope well with promising to someone – YOU – that I’ll take action and then not taking it. And that’s the crux of the relationship. You’ve provided the much needed kick up the backside and kept me on the hook in the nicest way possible and I’m getting great results. For instance, in the 6 weeks that I’ve been coached by you I’ve…

signed clients

booked meetings with prospects

received 4 written testimonials

received 4 referrals

developed strategic relationships with Nat West Bank and Business Link with the result that they in turn have hired me to run workshops for them

put a strategy in place to develop relationships with high profile investment banks and consultancies to add to my executive coaching clients

read more personal development and business books

and outside of the business, committed to my running schedule of 3 times a week and taken steps towards owning my dream car -a Maserati Gran Turismo!

Not only that, I have a much more focussed and positive outlook and am enjoying all elements of my life more…it’s great to know someone cares and believes in me.

So thank you Dave. You’ve done a great job and you do it effortlessly…

If you’re reading this and thinking of being coached by Dave – I urge you to seize the opportunity and say YES right now. Perhaps you’re worrying about the financial commitment. If you are, your investment will be amply rewarded and you’ll stop worrying very quickly because of the results you’ll achieve (if you do what you say you will to Dave) and you’ll have a better quality of life at business and home too. So what are you waiting for?

Best regards
