With a business consultant, you are paying an expert to provide a solution for the problem you have. You are paying for a set of skills and a solution they recommend for your situation, but you may not be addressing more fundamental problems.
Once a consultant has made their recommendation, you’re often left to your own devices to run with their solution. In contrast, a coach will continue working with you consistently over time to ensure that whatever plan is put into action is successful. Your investment of time, energy and effort are the most important ones you will make with a great business success coach. Your coach will help you consider adjustments and refinements that can greatly impact success.
A Real Story from an Ann Arbor Business Owner
So, what does a successful business coaching relationship really look like?
Here’s what a former AdviCoach client had to say. He was a local business owner in the Ann Arbor and Dexter area and was looking for some help with an established but struggling business:
“From the very first meeting, David acted like a partner in my business. He asked probing questions about my business, receiving my answers without judgment, and demonstrated a true desire to understand how my business was operating. He was prepared and engaged for every coaching session. He made sure we made progress each week, driving the process both during our meetings and afterwards with email correspondence and follow up phone calls as required.”
During this process, the meetings were streamlined by using prepared forms that have been refined through the years. Nothing in the business coaching process is ever “pre-fabricated,” but using these resources allows the coach and client to quickly get on the same page and begin tailoring strategies to the business.
After six months of cooperation, a custom strategic plan to achieve the client’s goals had been drafted. He was left with the tools he needed to monitor his business beyond the coaching relationship. At the end, he knew what his goals were, how to achieve them, and what to do when he encountered obstacles in the future.
