What clients say

Alan is a fantastic coach. He's passionate about seeing businesses (and people) grow and working with him is always a whole lot of fun. I know our business is in a better place for having him as a coach and I know he'll continue to help us grow and develop. I have and I will continue to recommend him to anyone serious about wanting to grow their business. 5 stars+++

Alie Calvert, Blue Sky Photography

If you’re considering speaking to a business coach, you have got to speak to Alan Smith. I wish I did when I started my business back in 2007!

Bringing Alan on board as our business coach has undoubtedly catapulted my business to the next level. It’s not just the value I get from Alan as a business owner, but the training my team around me receive.

It can sometime be a lonely place being a business owner, however this is no longer the case for me! Just knowing I can always pick up the phone to ask for advice is invaluable and the coaching just hasn’t made me a better boss (business owner), but it’s also made me a far better husband, father, son, brother and friend. I now have more time to spend doing the things that are really important in life! Not just constantly work work work and no life!

Don’t just take my word for it, have a read at what some of his other clients are saying on here if you don’t believe me.

Alan Smith is a person who cares and deserves to do well in life!

10/10.

Michael Cairns, Celsius Plumbing & Heating

I have worked with Alan for a year now and he has certainly re booted my energy, love and focus on the business, especially starting to make it work for me . He is a very enthusiastic and highly motivated person that would be able to help any type and size of business. I would recommend him and Action coach to anyone.

John Saunderson, Saundersons Butchers

Alan is Simply the Best. Not only does he know his stuff inside out, but he truly cares about his clients, delivers brilliant customer service and value every time, and makes a lasting and sustainable difference to local businesses. And what's more he does it all in a fun and engaging way. My whole team loves him, and I know that so do all his other clients. Don't hesitate, just pick up the phone!

Ian Pilbeam, HR Dept

I would highly recommend Alan and Action Coach. His passion and approach makes it easy to get the job done. I am very happy to know and work with Alan.

Scott Fairgrieve, Ryze Trampoline Parks

I have been working with Alan on my business since the start of this year and the results have been fantastic! I have a plan, I pretty much stick to it, and with Alan's encouragement, advice, business knowledge and friendship I am pushing through on all sorts of areas of the business which I had ignored until now. It's really easy to stick your head in the sand and hope that things might change some day but unless you make it happen, nothing will change. I'd really recommend working with Alan as a catalyst to action, growth and change and even if you don't think you need coaching, you probably do!

Val Wishart, Beyond The Numbers (Accountancy)

Most of us in business could really do with the support of people like Alan. What really struck me was the idea that most business owners don't make that much money while working in the business it is only when you start putting focused time on "working on the business" that you start to see results. It takes the average successful business 30 years to reach maturity and be sold but with an Actioncoach like Alan you could shorten this to between 3 and 7 years.

Ally Hollins-Kirk, One Stop IT

I have been with Alan 3 months and even throughout this short period he has already helped me increase my business to the next level.

The advice that he has given is valuable, most importantly, he has brought me into a millionaire mindset. I have also been surrounded by positive business people which is hugely encouraging and motivating.

Teddy Lee, Maki Ramen

Alan has challenged me, encouraged me, pushed and guided me through some challenging years of growth and change. He's always full of practical advice, nothing is ever too much trouble AND he's a great laugh, too. If Carlsberg made business coaches...

Steven Thomson, 39steps (Web Design)

I'll be honest, it took us a while (years!)to actually get on board with the whole coaching thing...However when we met Alan we knew that we had met someone who could make a difference to our business. Alan was referred to us by a colleague and right from the get go we knew we could work with him. He has enabled us to start driving the business in the direction that we want it to go. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Jeanette Hamill, Hamill Decorating

We have worked with Alan since 2015 and our team really appreciate all the help, advise and interaction in particular the delivery of useful content in group situations. It is clear the preparation and time Alan takes prior to such training sessions pays dividends having just completed our latest team training session and look forward to our next one. Highly recommended.

John Davidson, Southside Property Management

We've been working with Alan since November 2015 and he's been instrumental in helping us find our focus again. As a result of his input and help, we've improved processes and are evolving services quicker than we'd anticipated, with great results. I'd highly recommend Alan to business owners looking for a proactive, results-driven coach who says it like it is, in a friendly supportive manner.

Julie Diver, 39steps (Design Agency)

As a business coach Alan has a fantastic wealth of knowledge that he can apply to any businesses unique situation to help them develop. He has really helped our business grow over the period we've been working with him by increasing our leads, sales and profit margins.
