Everything you need to know about 1 on 1 coaching programmes
Our 1 on 1 (one business with one coach) coaching programmes are designed for business owners who want a coaching experience fully tailored to the requirements of themselves and their business, whilst still being underpinned by the ActionCOACH business growth system.
Who are 1 on 1 programmes for?
Here are the main reasons that business owners tell us they need our help:
- My business isn’t performing as I need it to. I need more profits and cash.
- We’re really busy, but the business just isn’t making the money I’d expect.
- I’d like to grow, but I’m working so many hours already that I’m just not excited about it.
- We can’t find enough great people to help us grow.
- Our customers still prefer to contact me rather than the team to get things done.
- We have capacity to grow, but we’re not generating enough new business enquiries.
- We find ourselves competing on price a lot of the time.
- I have a management team, but I’m still feeling the pressure.
- I’m starting to think about my exit strategy and am ready to maximise the value of my business.
- My business works well without me being there and I’m looking to buy or start other businesses.
Our 1 on 1 clients range from businesses with small teams through to hundreds of employees. Some rely heavily on the owner, some run under management. They cover most sectors of the economy – from online retailers to engineers, environmental consultants to cleaning companies, and manufacturing businesses through to wholesalers and even some charities.
The common factor is that one or many of the above criteria apply to the business, and they have made a commitment to create change, assisted by a coach who will help them to accelerate their journey.
What is a 1 on 1 coaching programme?
Our 1 on 1 programmes contain both a formal and an informal element.
The formal element consists of a coaching “cycle”, operating on an annual basis, as follows:
Annual alignment session: A day set aside to define your personal and business goals, assess overall business performance and ensure that the owner, team and coach all have a common understanding of the direction of the business.
90 Day Growth Planning Sessions: Every 90 days, our clients come together for a Mastermind session with a particular learning focus to share their experiences and build high-quality relationships. This is followed by a planning session where they set their goals for the next quarter and define the activities necessary to achieve them.
Weekly or bi-monthly coaching sessions: The structure of our programmes is simple. If you are an owner with a small team, we work with you twice per month. If you have a management team, we can work with both you and your team, and therefore a weekly programme makes most sense as we can gain more momentum that way. 80% of our clients are bi-monthly.
A coaching session is at a scheduled day and time to maintain consistency and focus.
The informal part of any coaching programme is based on what you need, whether that be a short phone call, a more extended session or even some team training. There is no additional investment for this, as we believe that it’s our role to help you achieve the results you’re looking for, so we’ll help you in whichever way you need.

How much does it cost?
Your coaching programme should be an investment – that’s why we back it up with a guarantee. It should either make you more money, or at the very least, not cost you anything.
Our business discovery process is designed to get you well educated about us and how we work, and for us to really understand your business, how it’s structured and where you want to go.
Based on that, we can agree together the right programme for you, or it might be that coaching just isn’t the right solution for you right now, and if that’s the case, we’ll agree that too.
This is what we guarantee will happen during your business discovery process:
- We’ll take you through an education process to get you to the right level of knowledge to make a great decision about whether working with us is the right decision for you and your business.
- You’ll get a really good understanding of who we are and what we do.
- You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you feel are important to you.
- You won’t be sold to.
- You’ll think differently about your business so get some learnings just from going through the process.
- You’ll get some great ideas to help you move forward.
- You’ll get a completely honest appraisal of your business.
- You’ll get to experience “being coached” so you can decide if it’s right for you.
- If we’re not sure we can help you, we’ll say no to working with you.
- We’ll agree the right programme for you based on our mutual assessment of where you are currently, where you want to go, and the current structure of your business.
Based on all of the above, your investment range will be from £1,500 per month to work bi-monthly with a coach, to £7,500 per month if you embark on a weekly programme with our senior partner and include quarterly strategy sessions and team training.
