ActionCOACH Business Coaching Franchise Ireland

               

ActionCOACH franchise currently has 160 business coaching franchisees, operating in the UK and Ireland, and are aiming to almost double this over the next 12 to 18 months.

 

"There are approximately 85 thousand SMEs in Ireland, therefore the demand for business coaching is expected to enjoy a massive growth in popularity." So says ActionCOACH franchise, the world's largest business coaching organization.

 

Paul Fagan - is one of the pioneers of Business Coaching & Franchising in Ireland having established ActionCOACH Business Coaching in 2002 as a very successful Irish Franchising Opportunity. 

 

ActionCOACH has a long term goal, that every business in Ireland should have a Business Coach, just as they have an accountant and a solicitor. Remember Bill Gates once had a goal that there would be a computer on every desk in every business and home. This offers prospective Franchisees a unique Franchising Opportunity to start their Business Coaching Career.

 

Their second goal is to help Irish SMEs grow into larger and more sustainable companies which will support local communities.

According to the company: "One of the key factors behind the surge in demand for coaching has been the success with which it has helped transform the lives and fortunes of many business owners, as evidenced by literally hundreds of case histories.

 

"However, another important factor has been the quality of business coaches we are attracting. Apart from the high earning potential, what makes business coaching particularly appealing is that, unlike many other franchises, business coaching has relatively low overheads and can be operated from home.

 

"It also offers an unprecedented level of flexibility. As a result, ActionCOACH tends to attract franchisees who have a strong commercial background, for example in sales and marketing, logistics, IT, etc, and are looking for something that will enable them to use their skills to best effect."

Do I need a consulting or coaching background?

 

No. However, a strong business background is a must. If you have owned or managed a business before, or if you have a background in sales, then this is probably the business for you. You will need a sound understanding of business principles, though, and an entrepreneurial spirit, the right attitude, and a healthy dose of motivation won't go astray either! Be prepared to show us how much passion you have for helping others, and show us too, the amount of drive you have to succeed in this business.

 

Am I ready to coach others to success?

1. Do you have at least 5 years business experience and the confidence, passion, and desire to help other business owners?

 

2. Do you have a proven track record in sales, marketing, management, consulting, or business ownership?

 

3. Are you contemplating leaving the corporate world to start your own business but would like the benefit of an Irish and worldwide team?

 

4. Do you have commitment to continual personal and professional development?

 

5. Do you want more out of life than a traditional career?

 

 

Why should I buy a franchise to become an ActionCOACH Business Coach?

 

You'll want an opportunity that provides you with a solid platform for entrepreneurial freedom - and one that's based on years of experience, proven systems and ongoing training. You'll want to own a profitable and fulfilling business, yet you won't want to recreate the wheel. Only a proven franchise will provide all this.

 

What do I do and what do I sell as an ActionCOACH?

 

Franchisees work with employees and owners of small to medium-sized business, offering guidance to not only improve company performance but also find the right balance between work and life.

 

Your role as an ActionCOACH is to help the owners of small to medium sized businesses with their sales, marketing, management, team building, direction, goal setting and so much more ... Essentially you'll be their sounding board, confidant, mentor, coach and consultant. But you don't have to be a marketing guru to succeed ...The ActionCOACH system has been designed to get results in a way that's both effective for the client and highly profitable for you.

 

As part of your arsenal of products and services, you'll deliver everything from Coaching programs to seminars, and from books and tapes to video programs.

 

So as an ActionCOACH Business Coach, what might your average week look like? You would probably spend it meeting with prospective clients, coaching clients over the phone, preparing and delivering seminars, conducting in-house training programs, critiquing your clients' marketing pieces, performing Alignment Consultations or selling the ActionCOACH Planning program.

Here is what some of the Irish ActionCOACH Business Coaches have to say:

 Michael Shinnick BComm ACMA - Platinum Mentor Coach 
I am an ActionCOACH Certified Business Coach since July 2005 and am enjoying running a very successful business.

I joined ActionCOACH after 12 years in banking and have never looked back. Being an accountant I did plenty of due diligence to get a feel for what I was letting myself in for!!! I can honestly say the system works. I have learnt an amazing amount and have had loads of support from the Master Franchise team here in Ireland and the coach community worldwide. It is a challenging business which has been extremely rewarding for me. 

  Jane Hogan  - Irish ActionCOACH
I joined ActionCOACH Business Coach Ireland 3 years ago.  I chose to run my own business because I want to balance a rewarding career with looking after my family.  I chose a franchise because I was prepared to invest in myself and my business to get access to world class training, tools and culture.  It's really important to me that my clients get fantastic value out of their investment in coaching, so I chose ActionCOACH's unique Irish Franchising opportunity for its wealth of intellectual property and systems. These enable me to help my clients consistently and measurably grow their businesses and achieve the results they seek.  As with setting up any new business on your own, it's been a rollercoaster. 

I never felt alone because of the fantastic support of the Team of Irish Business Coaches- the coach community is really strong.  We are really well supported by our Master Licensee and our Coach's Coach. Action's commitment to providing us with ongoing learning ensures that my skills are continually developing.  If you love helping other people achieve their goals, are prepared to work hard to build your business and are committed to ongoing personal development, ActionCOACH provides a fantastic opportunity. 
 
   Feargal Keane - Irish ActionCOACH
I have been an ActionCOACH Certified Business Coach and a member of the team of Irish Business Coaches for just over three years now.  Up to joining Action I was a corporate employee and so going into business on my own was, and continues to be, a big departure from my comfort zone. 

 I can honestly say that I simply could not have survived and thrived without the support from the Action Ireland team.  The support I get from the Master Franchisee office and the other Action coaches in Ireland and worldwide has played a critical part in helping me make the transition from employee to business owner, Salesperson and Coach.
