"Maintaining or increasing your turnover will provide you with employment, but not a lifestyle. Increasing net profit margin generates the income necessary to pay a manager and yourself, which leads to a better lifestyle, one with more freedom!"

"Profit margin increase comes from improving what you already do, not from finding a ‘secret strategy’ and applying it. Look within the business to improve it, not outside of it and you’ll find the solutions you need to make a massive difference."

"Growing a business isn’t hard, you just need to know the best strategies that apply to your business, then implement them in the order of highest priority. Growth then happens naturally, almost effortlessly."

"If there is a secret to increasing profit margins it would be measuring. By in depth measuring, inefficiencies and opportunities are easily found. Knowing how to grow a business is secondary to knowing where the real problem is. Accurate problem identification is what leads to rapid and effective improvement. Measuring is where it all begins and very few businesses measure the important numbers."

"Understanding why you have a business is more important than knowing how to grow it. The lack of a compelling vision (why) is what really holds you back, not a lack of ‘how to’. Setting goals is where it begins; but don’t set goals based on where you are now as this won’t motivate you. Instead, set them based on where you want to be and design a plan to achieve your goals and vision."

More Business Freedom Results

“I attended the Workshop Series with a fair bit of initial pessimism. My first impression of what these Workshops would be about - i.e. sales and marketing was quickly eroded. The whole Series has been very life changing for me personally and has improved my outlook on life immensely.

The best things about the workshop series are; the logical structure, it takes you out of your comfort zone, it shows you the way to a better life, teaches you how to be the best person you can be and rapidly increases profit even without using sales or marketing. My business has added $1.5Million in turnover with an increase in net profit of $340,800 in about 9 months. I can’t recommend this Workshop Series highly enough”.

S. Martin – Elite Construction & Interiors

“Our engineering company increased the net profit margin from 4.3% to 10% by the end of the Workshop Series and it hadn't been over 4.3% in the last 3 years. Our staff reduced from 35 down to 29 even though our turnover went up 20%. We also achieved a record for sales of $1,000,000 for the month of June for 2009 to cap it off.“

McCormack Industries

* * *

“Our turnover didn't increase, nor did the number of staff we employ, but over 7 months with Business Freedom we went from struggling with money, to selling every job a significant profit. Our net profit margin jumped from -4% to 10% from Workshop 3 - The Magic of Measuring when we learned about costs and how to sell everything at a predetermined profit margin. That one strategy made a huge difference to our business.“

A & M Jordan - Dome Management Pty Ltd

“We have promoted the Business Freedom Workshop Series to our client base over the past 18 months. The clients who completed Business Freedom have had a significant change in their approach to business and the way they operate their business.

The outcome for our accounting practice has been twofold; 1 with those clients now being A grade clients focusing on profitability and team building rather than just paying the bills, 2. for us we have seen our team synergy exponentially enhanced and achieving productivity increases that we doubted were achievable, which have in fact resulted in an increase of net profit of 55%. This increase in net profit was achieved without hiring additional staff.“

A butcher shop owner near Toowoomba reduced hours from 80 to 3 days a week with the same salary and then opened a second business with a manager.

"We increased our prices by 10% the day after the Free Seminar upon your recommendation, and sales didn’t drop. We doubled the price of one of our products, and had more clients in one month than the previous 9 months."

A. Warry - Future Skills

"I had a salesperson to whom I was paying a six figure income, having tried many ways without success to get a good sales person. That was until I met Tim. He told me that finding great people wasn’t hard if you knew how to ‘attract’ them to your business, using advertising that focussed on attitude more than experience, which was exactly what we did using his techniques. The lady we hired was matching the sales performance of my other salesperson within 3 months.

I would value Business Building Mentors team recruitment and personality profiling system at $5,000. This, along with much better conversion rates, helped my business to grow from $6 million annual turnover to a $2 million per month, achieved in late 2001.

I would recommend Tim’s information to anyone who wants to make fantastic profits."

D. Neville - Kitome

"I contracted Tim’s company to help us hone our marketing skills and boost advertising revenue. Tim conducted two highly successful sales training courses with our staff, and a marketing session with our clients. His techniques are successful because they are essentially practical and contain concepts that every business owner can relate to.

Since working with Tim, we have implemented a lot of changes, resulting in a more streamlined operation and better work practices. Our revenue is on an upward climb and we are saving money, achieving better results for our customers and everyone’s a winner!

I would highly recommend Tim to any business owner who wants to work smarter (not harder) and achieve a very quick increase in sales."

C. Gibson - Director, The Hawkesbury Independent

"We commenced our business mentoring with you in April 2005, at a time when our accountancy practice turnover was approaching $800,000 (net of GST). With your help in establishing and monitoring a number of Key Performance Indicators in both the Demand and Production aspects of our business, along with certain process refinements that we implemented from our own research, we successfully grew the business to a turnover of $1.1Million by June 2006 and in excess of $1.5Million by June 2007.

We were so impressed by the Business Building workshop that we accompanied more than 35 of our clients to the workshops, to help them improve their systems and processes by an easy to understand approach, supported by detailed notes and examples, but most importantly by specific live examples which you were able to relate from your own client experiences.

I would thoroughly recommend the workshops you run to any other accountant for their clients to very seriously consider, if they want the same levels of improvement that we and our clients have experienced as a result of our interaction with you. I'm more than happy to confirm in more detail our experiences to any of your potential clients, by way of a phone conversation at a mutually convenient time.

Thank you once again for assisting us in this regard."

Angelo Coco - Principal, Coco and Stanton

"Our turnover increased from $12,000 per month to $100,000 in 5 months then it went to $121,000 per month from the 12 month Business Building Program 7 months after starting the program. This was achieved after increasing our inquiries by new advertising designs, which I was sceptical would work.

Our conversion rates increased to 45% in two months using the new sales systems, even after we had introduced a price rise of 20% to increase our net margin.

The rapid growth identified areas that needed more systems, which we worked on and then our business hit $176,000 per month turnover 18 months later. We hired a salesperson in that time and more tradesmen, which resulted in us doing less work ourselves."

D. & P. Bellamy - Freedom Bathrooms
(Featured in My Business Success magazine June 2002)

"Our turnover had reached a plateau at $1.9Million but 7 months after being on the business building program our last quarter of turnover was $980,000. Using ads that we developed together with our coach we increased the response by 300%, which allowed us to run the ads less often and govern the rate of inquiries coming in.

Our phone call answering method has changed significantly so as to qualify people we want to write quotes for, instead of doing quotes for every one and wasting a lot of time with people who weren’t our ideal prospects. This reduced the number of quotes carried out by our design consultants by 40% and allowed our business to grow more without needing to hire more design consultants.

Our conversion rates from quotes to sales increased from 10% to 16.7%, which achieved the growth of $980,000 in 7 months, without needing to hire additional sales people. This resulted in a significant net profit increase in our business.”

J. & A. Beach - Spacebusters

* * *

"I went to the business building workshop hoping to learn how to grow my business through sales and marketing. I was looking forward to seeing the results of the radically different methods of writing ads and the recommendation of running quarter page ads instead of full page ads to advertise my carpet cleaning business.

I designed my ad then ran it using the workshop principles and my advertising response has doubled with a quarter of the ad cost and size. I then increased my prices by 10% on 3 separate occasions over two months and using the sales methods also taught in the workshop my conversion rate is still at 82% from inquiry to sale!

J. Large - Magna-Dry Services

"I first attended a seminar with the aim to getting out of my line of work and Tim suggested buying a kitchen renovation company. With his help I bought one for $70,000 with 50% vendor finance over 6 months.

I then worked on a 6 months one-on-one Business Building Program, after attending a business workshop and sales training day 3 times. Over the course of our time together I was able to increase our gross profit margins to 50%, while maintaining a 55% conversion rate from all quotes. This is way beyond most other businesses in our industry.

We then worked together to set up systems for the business to operate without me, including a recruitment system to hire our General Manager, who was trained in 6 weeks and then managed our business for 3 months while we were away on a world tour holiday. 12 months later we decided to sell the business, which we did for $350,000 as a business fully systematised ready for franchising. We could not have achieved this outcome without Tim’s help."

S. Beetson - House of Kitchens

"During the 12 month coaching program I made a lot of changes for the better. When I started I was working 7 days a week in my newly purchased business, while making almost no profit.

With changes implemented with my business builder we redesigned a new Yellow Pages advert, which increased calls by 110% even with less advertising cost. Using sales techniques provided to me the inquiry conversion increased from 6% to 72%, and my average prices were increased 30% during the year as well. I used the recruitment system taught to me, which has been fantastic knowing how to attract good team members.

Over the coming months I saw my work load decrease and over time it came down to working 4 days a week in my business, which made a huge difference to my life and my family."

L. & P. Watson - Harmony Blinds

"Our sales figures have increased from $19 000 for the last month to $65 000 for the month since attending your sales training day. Your presentation really impressed me. I now think very differently when it comes to dealing with people and how they like to be communicated to"

Ron Wilkinson Real Estate — Nabiac NSW

"Four weeks after our meeting to outline our Marketing Plan our business increased in turnover by $55,000! It exploded like I would never have believed was possible. Most of it came from an idea Tim gave us on restructuring our businesses lead generation and sales process. It took us 6 months to catch up with the growth and now 12 months later our turnover and profits have tripled"...

David Batterham - Jacks Wholesale Timber Fencing

"Tim helped us with our sales and marketing and as a results we had an 800% increase in advertising response from the same ad in the same paper from one week to the next. Plus we applied his simple sales techniques and increased our sales from 13% to 33%. As a result this meant we had to hire 9 more people in 6 months to keep up with the growth"

Jim & Margaret Bates — J & M Kitchens

* * *

"Our sales figures were 68% converted inquiries from people walking into our go kart retail shop. Then with 2 months of work with Tim we managed to achieve 100% conversion rate for one whole week. From then it settled down to average 83% over the coming month"..

Cid Maroun — Sydney Discount Kart Shop

"Since completing the Business 2 day Workshop with Business Building Mentors on a business building plan my gross income has increased by 200% and we’re not finished yet"...
