Results Achieved from Business Building Mentors’ Programs
The results seen below have been accumulated over more than 12 years. You’ll notice there are great results with service, retail, manufacturing and wholesale businesses, and the same strategies used to achieve these results will also work for your business.
A number of clients’ businesses were grown at a fantastic rate, however during future years the results were more aimed at freeing up the business owners’ time, not on simply growing the business fast.
The results below are testament to the quality of the information within Business Building Mentors’ programs as they span service, retail, wholesale and manufacturing businesses. The success of programs is not determined by the business itself; it’s determined by the business owners’ desire and commitment.

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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.”

"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!

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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"...

"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"

"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"..
