HEAR WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING...

 

I attended Dan's GrowthCLUB in Q2&3, and I just had to share some of my results because this blew me away when I actually did my numbers:

​

  • - Clients increased by 84%

  • - Team growth of 32%

  • - Retention rate increased

The value in Dan is that he's changed my whole perspective, and given me so many tools to reach my dreams, to achieve my goals, in ways that were particular to me. Everyone works a little bit differently, and he understands that.

I made the decision to work with Dan, and I have no regrets! Even though I don’t technically own my business, he has helped me shift my mindset to thinking like a true entrepreneur. This has inspired me to look at my work differently—implementing new systems and processes to be more efficient, developing strategic partnerships with other business owners and salespeople, and also helping to sharpen my selling skills. I no longer feel that I am stagnating, but that I am growing both personally and professionally.

​

My numbers don’t lie either. This past quarter, I hit my quarterly sales bonus for the first time. Also, the month of November is usually one of the slower months of the year, but this past November turned out to be one of my strongest of the year! I think the most important aspect of working with Dan has been the accountability he requires of me. I have been reading sales books and listening to positive podcasts for years, but I would always stop short of taking true action. Meeting with Dan each week has forced me to find time work “on” my business consistently—because I’ve made the decision to invest in myself, I absolutely refuse to let even one weekly session go to waste.

​

If you are falling short of your business goals in any way, whether you are an owner or a salesperson, don’t go at it alone. I tried that for years and spun my wheels. Take action with Dan MacIvor, I recommend him highly and wholeheartedly!

I have been working with Dan at ActionCoach since June 2020.  I went to Dan because during the pandemic, my business suffered a huge blow.  As a web developer and online marketer, business stopped all together and that turned into loss revenue. 

 

To be honest, I was ready to close my business and look for a job.  I was worried about income coming in, I was worried about well everything. 

 

Then I met Dan, we had a conversation and instantly I felt like this will be good for me.  Fresh ideas, a changed approach, taking ownership of what I offer and how I offer it.  To start with, I never had a 90 Day plan, I will be honest and tell you, I flew by the seat of my pants every day.  I never knew what was coming next or if I had a next project.

 

The 90 Day plan was a huge eye opener for me.  I realized that there was so much potential if I dedicated some time to working on my business instead of always working in my business.  I always thought the 2 sayings meant the same thing.  No totally wrong.  I found by spending time working on the business, new ideas flourished, I felt energized and ready to go.

 

Oh and the One Thing I stressed to Dan was I wanted to grow, but I also wanted to have time for my family.  I always thought there was a sacrifice to be made, more time with family = less business growth or more business growth = less time with family.  Not true at all.  You can be successful and still be with your family and part of their activities.  It all comes down to the right mindset and putting in the dedication, having a plan and executing it.

As a new business owner, I question everything I do before and after I do it, hoping that was the right move. Dan's class brought some clarity to the decisions I make. His energy is contagious and his knowledge is impressive. I know how to be an electrician, running an electrical contracting company is a completely different ball game. If you are a master of your trade but do not have an MBA or business experience I highly recommend investing in Dan.

"Dan listens, period. He spends the time to understand your business, your challenges, and your strengths. From that, he builds a plan to help grow your business, build a successful team within your organization and in the community, and finally gets you more time living your life.  Take the time to meet with Dan; it is time well spent."

I have taken two of Dan's courses and all I can say is WOW! He is an expert in his field! Before I started the courses, I had no idea of how to run a business and now I am confident that I will be a success. He is knowledgeable, patient and makes things easy to understand. I can't say enough good things about the programs he offers. Get into the Action Club and you'll see your business take off like a rocket. If you want to bring your business to the next level, Dan MacIvor is your go-to!

Signing up for business coaching with Dan Macivor is one of the best business decisions that we have made since starting our business a year ago. While we might know our industry, we have never been business owners before, so navigating how to embody that space and successfully grow our business has been such a relief and rewarding experience through Dan. Entrepreneurship is a lonely enough road, so to have someone there who truly cares about your success and is there to offer brainstorms and solutions to the hurdles that inevitably come up makes that road easier to follow.

 

One of the many things that we like about Dan, is that unlike a lot of self-proclaimed "coaches" Dan walks the talk. It is extremely clear that he has busted his butt to get himself to where he is today through his sales career and has had to overcome many obstacles to get there, experience that is invaluable when coaching the ultimate sales game: starting a business. His advice always comes from a place of humility and "realness." It is also evident that Dan is doing this, not to make money (he already succeeded at that), but because he's passionate about it, which just brings a whole other level of wisdom and unbiased advice to the table. Signing up for coaching with Dan has paid for itself in spades! And we continue to look forward to see our ROI increase with him!

My name is Ray, I’ve worked for someone else for the last 25 years and last year I bought a franchise.  I had never owned a business before and realized after I started that there’s much more to owning a business than having a business card with your name on it that says 'Owner.' 

 

I met Dan through the local Chamber of Commerce and spent time with him talking about my business, how long I’ve owned it, and what my goals were.  Once I had a chance to see how Dan and ActionCoach work and how he can help my business, I decided to sign up for his class.  Dan has an easy teaching style and offers a step by step process to evaluate where your business is and what processes and procedures need to be developed for your business to help you succeed. 

 

Dan’s enthusiasm for his work is infectious and ensures that the learning experience is enjoyable.  Like many people that start a business, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, now I have a straightforward approach to evaluate my business, set my goals, and ensure my business and I will be successful. 

 

I’d highly encourage anyone that’s looking for a coach to consider Dan and ActionCoach.

"Working with Dan has helped me focus - focus on who my clients are, on getting my vision clear, and create a solid plan to get things started for my small business. I continue to work with Dan because he cares about my success as a business owner, but as a person as well."

​

Gail Witte, Owner of YoGail Studio

"I've got over 30 years of experience in the building trades, and frankly home inspecting came pretty easy to me, but what hasn't come easy is owning and running a business. What ActionCOACH has to offer is a very easy-to-use, very comprehensive plan used to diagnose and deconstruct those areas that are running inefficiently in your business and could use some work"
