ActionCOACH unveils brand-new franchise opportunity

ActionCOACH’s UK performance director is demonstrating how flexible its new ‘Firm Builder’ opportunity is by operating his own exclusive territory.

James Vincent has been a member of ActionCOACH’s UK team since 2014, driving it forward as its UK performance director. However, when the business coaching franchise announced its brand-new Firm Builder franchise model late last year, the driven individual couldn’t resist taking on another challenge. So, he made the decision to invest in an exclusive Sheffield territory – without leaving his existing role!

Speaking about the decision, Vincent said:

“At first glance, it may sound like a huge challenge to keep what appears to be more than a full-time job and make a success of my own franchise territory. But when you love what you do, work becomes fun and you’re happy to get out of bed each morning and prepare for a productive day. Pair that with the opportunity to put in a management team into the new ActionCOACH exclusive territory Firm Builder franchise and it becomes clear how I (and others) can juggle the two quite easily and still have a great work-life balance.”

He elaborated on how excellent business coaching can help companies of every size and in every industry.

“Most people don’t know what coaching really is. Whether it’s for sport or business, you can’t coach yourself and without a world-class coach, you’ll never fulfil your potential. We all fight a losing battle, seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. In one scenario or another, we get blinded by ego and need that external influence to hold a mirror up. A coach does that and helps you to find a way forward.”

Vincent revealed how ActionCOACH allows businesses to reach their true potential too.

“ActionCOACH already had, and continues to add to, their world-class toolkit of over 3,500 business growth strategies and tactics – for coaches and their clients to tap into. So, when I joined the UK franchise support team, we built a structure of master coaches to support our franchise partners. I’m pleased to say we now have a Net Promoter Score showing our clients rate our service higher than Apple customers rate an iPhone!”

Vincent launched his brand-new territory on the 1st of November, with a business development manager and general manager to help him grow. He concluded by saying:

“Our long-term goal is to transform businesses in Sheffield, connecting with those 10,000 business owners in some way. Success for me looks like a passive income with my team eager to get to work each morning because they enjoy it so much – Richard Branson personally taught me to think that way.”
