ActionCOACH

Business coaching
"OK, drop to the ground and give me three long-term business strategies." ActionCOACH provides owners of small- and medium-sized businesses with coaches for advice and support in key areas such as sales, marketing, systems, planning, and team management. The company offers one-on-one and group coaching along with other related services. The coaches are trained on sales, marketing, and management systems developed by entrepreneur, business coach, author, and speaker Brad Sugars. Started in 1993, the company has more than 1,000 offices in 26 countries. ActionCOACH was named a Stevie Winner in the 2007 International Business Awards as the best overall company in North America.
Why This Company Makes Our AllStar List
ActionCOACH has been franchising since 1997, making it a pioneer in the business coaching industry, garnering the company recently a lot of attention. The largest business coaching franchise in the world, the company's presence is actually larger outside the U.S., but still maintains a strong domestic presence. Between 2006 and 2008, it added more than 100 new franchise locations domestically and overseas. ActionCOACH ranks higher in brand awareness than its competitors in the field, with a rank of #76 in Web visibility.

Company founder Brad Sugars is a well-known speaker and industry leader who applies his successful methods to coach and mentor other entrepreneurs. Offering two types of franchise opportunities, franchisees can choose to pursue a business coaching franchise or a master franchise. In the business coaching franchise, the franchisee provides coaching, mentoring, and training in sales, marketing and business management. In the master franchise opportunity, the franchisee sells and oversees coaching franchises within a territory.

The economic downturn is likely to cause an increase in the number of people becoming entrepreneurs, which means the need for business coaching will only continue to grow. An ActionCOACH franchise can be run from home, which means lower startup costs. And the company offers financing for qualified military veterans through the IFA's VetFran program.
