You’ve hired a Business Coach
What happens next?
We’ll start with a two step assessment. First, we will do an analysis of the financial end of your business and at the same time you will work with Kurk and or another NLBC BUSINESS coach doing an overall business effectiveness evaluation. We use this evaluation to customize our work together.
Next you will get a report that summarizes what we have found and our recommendations for how to move forward to make a stronger more prosperous business.
Next, we begin the critical work of planning and then executing the actions needed to get to the next level.
Phase three, the actual business coaching is a process where we meet weekly, and work systematically to clarify your issues and create a plan to move you and your business forward.
Our SIX KEYS Business Development Model will help guide us to stay organized and on track to ensure, we build a solid structure for your business.
