“Over the past number of years I have used the services of ActionCOACH, working with Marina Bleahen. Marina was able to take an outside view on the business, and then help to put structures in place to maximise the efficiency of the business in all areas. Marina was also a great sounding board and instilled the confidence to make the changes, some of which were needed but not so popular! It has been a worthwhile project for my business.” 

Martin Taylor Managing Director, Dublin Crystal August 18, 2017

Dear Rory,
I am writing to you today to thank you for all your help with our company over the past year. I want to express my gratitude for all your help, advice and tips that have really helped our business grow over the past while.
We had met at a business course facilitated by you and from that moment I felt as though your expertise and experience was second to none. The course was excellent and from that we at VIP decided we could do with your help on a more permanent one to one basis. You started working with us and clearly identified great actions to take to make our business better. You gave us great focus as owners and set us goals and tasks to make the business better and it did just that. You helped us to look at the smaller parts of the business, our margins, our profits, leads, sales, cut expenses etc and this all made great positive changes to our structure and model.
Over the time we worked together you gave us great ideas and helped us to implement them into our business, simple things that made big differences to our sales, we were able to increase our margins on certain products, cut costs on non profitable shops, as we have over 22 locations and we needed to evaluate were they all contributing to the whole business, some were not and we closed them down and now we have profitable stores all doing great. You also advised on our website and customers and a very simple one was to do a 24 hour offer at certain times and this helped increase sales and then we had a weekly offer you suggested to send out a reminder of this offer for the last day of it which also helped increase sales.
Overall VIP could not speak any more highly of Rory as his ideas, expertise, experience and excellent personality helped us make our business so much better. We have had to stop our coaching for the time being due to other priorities in the business but we will be working with Rory again in the near future as we will need his help again when we have other tasks set up in the company.
VIP would recommend any company who need some advice, guidance to contact Action Coach and Rory as sometimes when your head is in the middle of all the work it is hard to see the bigger picture and you can make the wrong decisions, thankfully Rory helped us not to do that and made our company and brand better for all his advice.
Thank you again Rory and we will be seeing you again very soon.
Warm Regards

I have known Eddie Walsh for a number of years now and have referred his services to a number of clients. The feedback has always been consistently excellent. Eddie Walsh is a thorough professional with Business knowledge that is of the highest standard. He is very skillful and his attention to detail is outstanding.

It is very easy to recommend Eddie because you can be confident that will consistently provide the same top class service that he always has. I happily recommend the services of Eddie Walsh to anyone for business advice and coaching.

Stephen Hinde P.E.C Fire Services Ltd February 3, 2016

In a little over 6 months of coaching with Eddie Walsh we achieved a 30% growth in monthly sales compared to our previous year which is phenomenal for our sector. We also re-branded our business, employed an extra Salesperson, a Digital Marketing Manager and also opened a Dublin office.

After 14 years as a business owner, I had forgotten the reasons I had initially started out on my own. Procrastination and avoidance had become my daily work diet and passion for my business was non-existent. I had lots of good ideas but I was doing nothing to bring them to life. The ActionCoach process made me re-focus and set new goals. Eddie helped to drive me through many important business basics, creating ways of testing and measuring our success, being focused and organised. Coaching provided me with many useful tools and ideas but most importantly helped me find real work-life balance and focus on the reasons I am in business.

Highly recommended!

Only 5 months working with ActionCOACH and they have helped me personally and my business grow massively. Having a coach to guide me through obstacles and hitting goals and targets gives me a good sense of achievement.

I have been with ActionCOACH all of 4 months and the changes I've made have been huge in my business. They have introduced me to ideas and systems I never would have implemented. It pays to have a ActionCOACH 100%

Working with my coach has changed how I view all area's of my business. I now take an outside view of all the different facets that make up the business. I also engage with the team that I work with to ensure the best decisions are made.

Working with ActionCOACH has enabled me to work ON my business rather than IN it. It has helped up to identify KPI's for each team member. Now each team member reports their KPI's on a daily basis. All employees now see their team's individual numbers on a daily score board.

John O'Hanlon National Autoparts April 1, 2015

My coach enabled me implement my dreams and actually turn them into a profitable business. I am astounded at what I have achieved in two years. ActionCOACH expands your mind and encourages you every step of the way without putting you under pressure. No matter what happens in the future I know that I have given myself and my business the best possible chance. Thanks!

Nessa McNamara Little Learners March 27, 2015

I look forward to my weekly meeting with my coach. Apart from an independent over view of my business my coach helps create clarity and perspective on issues that seem overwhelming to me. There is an element of business counselling also which is helpful. I feel my coach cares about me and my business.

Richard Creagh Rod & Cones March 27, 2015

Its fantastic! It has given me a good manager who makes sure I stay on track. We thought it was a huge investment and only expected to give it 6 months but no chance of stopping yet. Its also helped my husband and I work better together and I am also interested in the financial side now.

Mary Simons Tots & Swots March 27, 2015

I have been working with a coach from ActionCOACH for almost 3 years which has really transformed my business and my life. I have more time to spend with my family and have excellent systems in place so my business can run smoothly when I am not there.

Siobhan Monaghan Sweet Cicely March 27, 2015

We have been working with Action Coach for the past few months. Our coach has given us the tools to improve our business and to achieve greater things in both our private lives and business. We look forward to continue working with our coach as we feel it is a win win situation.

Valerie Phillips Fitzgibbon Jewellers March 27, 2015

I enjoy and get a lot out of my meetings with my coach. I find the advice and different point of view in relation to my weekly challenges very comforting. 6 weeks in and the experience is very rewarding.
