Adam’s hardware business was stuck in a rut. Despite working 12 hours a day and returning home exhausted, he was only pulling the average profits that he was 4 years ago when he bought the business. Supplier prices were increasing, customers were dwindling and with his wife about to give birth to their second child, Adam knew it was time to get outside help.

Adam turned to IBS to pull his business out of mediocrity and to turn his business into a thriving and popular one. Nine weeks on he says, “I didn’t know what I was doing wrong but my IBS coach helped me understand all the places where my business was lacking. I learnt new strategies and solutions to increase my sales and make my regular customers return more often. Now my profits have increased by 55% and I couldn’t be happier!” “The most interesting thing I learnt was about how to increase your prices without losing customers.

Adam is now planning on expanding his hardware store. “My business is thriving thanks to your advice. I feel more secure in my business dealings and I can sleep easier knowing my wife and baby boy will be financially secure in the future.”

Kelly bought a café recently but found that it wasn’t all it seemed. “The previous owners had actually inflated the turnover figures so I thought I was buying into a profitable business. When I bought the café I realized that was far from the truth” she says. “I planned on continuing the success of the business but I didn’t know how so when I realized the business was in trouble, I grew even more desperate,” she says.

Kelly hired an IBS coach to help get her café back on track. “My IBS coach was so helpful in all areas of my business. He identified my problem areas and helped me every step of the way in implementing my action plan. I don’t know what I would’ve done without him in those troubled times!”

“My business is growing spectacularly, all thanks to my IBS coach. My turnover has literally doubled in 4 months.”

“Pete’s Pix” was making poor sales after a cheaper competitor moved into the local area. The owner, Peter, didn’t know what to do and thought lowering his prices would reel in the customers. It didn’t. He lost money and turned to IBS to help him out of his financial struggle.

“My IBS coach showed me that I didn’t have to lower my prices in order to attract more customers. I learnt to apply the 80/20 rule and make more money out of my existing customers. So my prices are back up and I’m making more money and getting more customers. I didn’t think it was possible but IBS showed me a way to do it!” he says.

“The coaching program helped me in so many ways. I learnt about things that I hadn’t even heard about before. They showed me how to implement these solutions in really clear terms unlike all the jargon I used to get from my business advisor. This was just so simple!”

Just 7 weeks after the course Pete reported a 60% increase in turnover, an impressive breakthrough at an early stage. “Business is just going to get better” he says “Now that I know what to do, I’m going to make sure my business grows to enormous proportions!”

Satyan’s printing company was in urgent need of good staff but everyone he hired left in a few months or was fired due to poor performance. Satyan called IBS in need of solutions on how to hire staff and keep them motivated on the job.

“I didn’t know why this was happening to me. I thought it was just bad luck. My IBS coach helped me understand the strategies to use when hiring staff. I’m so much more confident in knowing I’ve made the right decision,” he says.

“I also implemented a system that train, motivate and reward my employees. The results are amazing. My staff are happier and working at their best, and I’m happier because my business has grown enormously thanks to the dedication and hard work of my staff”.
