I was at a networking event recently and a gentleman asked me, “I’ve been hearing about the idea of using a business coach, could you give me three reasons why I should?” I said, “Why limit me to three?” He said, “Well if you have more I’d love to hear them.” I fired off twenty-four. Here they are:

1. Gain an objective opinion of your business.
2. Create a strategic plan that will direct how your business will grow.
3. Learn how and why leadership is so vital to business growth and success.
4. Increase the productivity of your business and employees, now and in the future.
5. Uncover skills you didn’t think you had.
6. Increased revenues and bottom line profits.
7. Locate what is missing in your plan in order to develop increased action.
8. Reduce the stress in your personal and business life.
9. Reach and achieve what you once thought were unrealistic goals.
10. Hear how others are achieving success in their business.
11. Cultivate a much larger capacity for producing exceptional results (compared to your current results.)
12. Operate in life as someone who can overcome ANY obstacle regardless of what it is.
13. Have power over your time instead of your time having power over you.
14. Experience having “fun” in business again.
15. Work from a place of creating in life rather than “surviving.”
16. Make a difference in the world in a far more profound way that you are currently.
17. Have greater awareness and greater clarity around goals and objectives.
18. Experience improved relationships among all of your departments in your business.
19. Greater capacity to initiate change within the culture or future of your organization.
20. Increase your competency for conflict management.
21. Become more assertive and make decisions easier.
22. Increase your competency of creating successful new leaders.
23. Experience increased retention and addition of high performance employees.
24. Experience significant ROI (Coaching produced a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business. Including benefits from employee retention boosted the overall ROI to 788%.  (Source: Executive Briefing: Case Study on the return on Investment of Executive Coaching Prepared by: Merrill C. Anderson, Ph.D. MetrixGlobal, LLC.)

As a small business owner, you know that your employees are the key element to a successful business. When they are operating at their full potential everybody wins.

Therefore, it is critical to hire the best people, develop the best leaders, build a team that is in full alignment and get the best performance from each of your teammates. The assessment tools used by Frankel Coaching Group help to do just that. Whether you have 10 employees or 500, used correctly, assessment tools can be an invaluable tool. Imagine for a moment if you have ten people in your sales department, say two are the real go-getters. They consistently bring in more business than the rest. The others may be great people, good personalities, say the right things, etc., but their numbers are just not there. If you could build a profile of the two and when you hire your next sales people for the team (or are considering replacing some), they have to match exactly the profile you created, you can safely predict the results because they are a clone in effect, of the two top performers. Now you can! We’ll leave it up to you what to do about the other eight, but I think you can see that this can be a cost cutting and revenue generating idea that you should implement right away – especially in the current economy.

Used correctly assessment tools will help you:

• Hire or keep only the best employees. You will now understand the key characteristics that describe the top performers. You now have a benchmark to go by.
• Create effective, powerful teams. This will help your managers put together awesome, aligned teams and not just a group of dysfunctional employees.
• Take your team to the next level. Having created just the right profile, the competency level of the team rises radically.

At Frankel Coaching Group, our assessment solutions help to transform the way your business runs. This is real transformation, district from just change. Implementing a strategy using assessment tools can help you:

• Save money. By reducing the amount of turnover you will save money. However, the cost savings associated with training and recruiting will be additional benefits.
• Increased Growth. The increased production of your team will be apparent and future hires will now match the production level of your top performers – imagine that!
• More time. By being able to identify and hire only the best, time will be saved freeing up you and your managers to focus on creating an extraordinary culture within your organization.

Learn more about how Frankel Coaching Group can help your small business same money, increase growth and have more time by retaining and hiring only top performers now and in the future.

To your success,

Cris
