Bottom line is Yes, you can afford business coaching to help grow your business. The true question is if you do not take specific, results focused action, will you be in business next year or the following year? If you don’t like the your answer to this question, then take the time to find an executive coach who:

Executive coaching is a proven solution that not only helps small businesses to much larger organizations grow, but it demonstrates a significant return on investment within a very short time frame. However, many business owners from medium size to single office/home office (SOHO) believe that this small business help solution is out of their reach.

If you are currently experiencing lagging sales, can’t do attitudes, high turnover of employees, reduced market share, working harder not smarter, you may be investigating a variety of solutions. Possibly, hiring a business coach is one of those solutions for sustainable business success. As you do your due diligence, you discover a variety of fees and possibly become lost in the sea of dollar signs. Your challenge is not to allow the dollar signs become an obstacle that over shadow your current needs and the potential results.

First, before speaking with any executive coach, you should know what your historical trends are. For example, historically, the business has grown 10% and is now at $500,000 in sales.

Second, any good executive business coach will ask you what results do you want in the next 3 to 12 months. These results should be measurable. And no, the coach doesn't need to be certified, but rather be results focused.

Third, you should know what the bottom line is. This information should be at your mental if not physical finger tips on a daily basis.

Fourth, by knowing what the desired results are and what the past and current actions have generated, you then can compare this information against the proposed fees. For example, if you wish to grow 50% more in sales from a historical sales growth of 10% (see earlier example) suggests that you need to increase overall sales by $25,000. If the executive coaching fees are $5,000, this means that you will be receiving four dollars for every dollar invested ($25,000 less $5,000 equals $20,000) or a 4 to 1 positive return on investment (ROI).

Fifth, even if cash flow is slow, ask the executive coach about payment options. Some coaches require anywhere from 25% to 50% up front with the balance paid within 30 to 60 days. Other coaches who understand the needs of small business owners and believe that the desire to improve should not set the small business owner up to fail may provide more flexible and responsive payment options from a small retainer to monthly payments without high credit card interest.

Sixth, if your executive coach offers a money back guarantee, how can you not afford to take advantage of this solution? There are business coaches who request a small non-refundable retainer (usually around 10%) to hold the dates and for any supplemental out of pocket costs. They then provide a money back guarantee. If that you are not happy after the 3rd or 4th session, all funds collected outside of the non-refundable retainer are returned.

Finally, if your executive coach can share with you testimonials from other clients who have experienced substantial and sustainable growth, then you have removed the unknown from the equation.
