I was not that keen to employ ‘yet another business coach’ who was going to help us ‘turn our businesses around’ but Ray’s manner was kind, considerate and more importantly, very perceptive to OUR needs. I did not feel that I would be a notch on his ladder of success.

The experience with Ray has made us look at our business in a more structured and organized form. The result, we achieved an increase in turnover of more than 40% and profits more than 160%, compared to last year. And having huge plans for this year, which we believe can be achieved having Ray on our side.

Ray Strongman has been a value added experience for our company.

I was most impressed with his flexibility and fact based approach.  Right from the start, Ray was able to give me the tools to delegate, allowing me to handle the core responsibilities related to my job.  In no time at all Ray was up to speed on the challenges and particulars of our industry, had a firm grasp on the culture we operate in and was able to articulate our company’s position with fluency.

It has only been since Ray became our business coach our business has become the most productive and profitable in the 38 years we have been in the hospitality industry. With the help from Ray we feel better in ourselves knowing that we are capable of dealing with our staff of 15 and catering for up to 1000 meals per week.

We have employed your services for some 2 & ½ years and I am delighted to provide my testimony here that others may consider the benefits; both in their business and their personal lives.

In a business sense, through this time we have adopted measures and processes which give our business the strength to manage the day to day stresses of everyday activity yet still allowing us to focus on the things that make our business grow

Dear Ray, I thought it might be a good idea to reflect on our achievements for the last eight months:

Furthermore my personal growth, of which I am also aware of myself, has been commented upon by many people. It has been a period of growth for Aquarius Pools with one of the highlights being winner of Pool of the Year in 2012 & two National Awards in that same year. Neither the business and personal growth nor the awards would have been possible without your professional involvement.

In our fortnightly meetings Ray has provided a sounding board, framework and structure to give us the confidence to put systems in place to grow our business.

Since commencing business coaching twelve months ago my business has grown from strength to strength. Your kind and consistent approach has seen me grasp many business fundamentals that have assisted me in implementing the necessary formula to create a successful, self sufficient business.
