Working with Shane has given us huge clarity and structure. Against a backdrop of tech disruption and economic uncertainty, he’s helped us build a plan and held us accountable while we’ve executed against it. Shane’s credibility is real – built on genuinely running successful businesses himself – and that experience shows in the frameworks and systems he brings to bear. This isn’t cookie-cutter coaching. It’s transformational. Thanks, Shane.
Shane has helped me take my business to the next level. I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most valuable resources for my business and me personally. When I met Shane it happened when I was at a point of transition in my business. I wanted to go from being a good business to a great business and beyond. Shane really understands the issues that a business owner goes through. I’m excited about the future more and more every day.
Like many business owners, I found building a successful business challenging, especially around people, finances, and time management. Through Shane and Summit SCALE Business Coaching, I was able to work through these challenges and, between us, solve the vast majority of issues in running a successful business. Specifically, I developed a number of strategies to maintain a constant and manageable flow of inquiries for new customers, managed cashflow until clients became profitable, and delegated within the business so that the right people were doing the right tasks at the right time and the business didn’t rely on me as a business owner. I would highly recommend the coaching program if you are looking to finally build the business that you dreamed of when you started out.
Working with Shane during the first year of building Proclean Group gave me the structure, clarity and support I needed at a demanding stage of the business. Together, we introduced a rolling 90-day planning rhythm, refined our proposition so we could stand out in a competitive market, and developed better processes for recruiting the right people. Shane also understood the emotional pressures that come with launching and growing a business. His combination of practical guidance, humour, honest challenge and steady support helped me make stronger decisions and build firmer foundations for growth.
There’s an accolade that Shane truly deserves – and I think worth mentioning. He’s washed, worn and ironed all the t-shirts you are either going through or about to go through as a business owner. Lean in, listen and learn.
In a few sessions, Steve helped me organise the financials and made me realise that burying your head in the sand is far more stressful than getting a grip, understanding what you need, and then creating a solid plan to achieve your goals. He has also helped us to get our products in front of several buyers which would have taken months, if not years to achieve, if we struggled on alone. We have also created a brand new product which shows exciting promise. Since working with Steve our projected yearly turnover has trebled, which will more than cover the cost of the coaching. If you are an ambitious startup/SME then Steve is the man with the plan, he can take your business to the next level while saving your sanity and re-igniting your passion.
Shane has helped us transform our small business into a healthy, profitable, fast-growth company. The powerful strategies that he has given us have improved every aspect of our business. Shane has become an important part of our support network. He has really helped us to keep on track and make sense of what we need to do next.
Working with Shane brought much greater clarity and discipline to my consulting practice (Mildon Consulting). Over 18 months, we introduced a rolling 90-day planning rhythm, restructured the organisation and cost base, and returned the business to profitability. Shane also helped me clarify our proposition, repositioning us from being seen simply as a vendor and training provider to a strategic “trusted adviser” working with executive teams. Alongside that, we developed deeper client partnerships, which strengthened repeat business and generated more referrals rather than continuously chasing new leads. His combination of strategic challenge, practical structure and accountability made a significant difference to the way I lead my business.
Working with Shane helped us bring greater structure, focus and consistency to the way we run Proclean. Over 12 months, we introduced a rolling 90-day strategic planning rhythm, giving us clearer priorities and stronger accountability. Shane also helped us measure our marketing more accurately, so we could continually improve our lead-generation channels rather than rely on guesswork. We developed stronger delivery systems to improve the customer experience and encourage referrals, while also creating a more robust business model to support our plans for future expansion through franchising.
After a few months of working with Shane, I am really encouraged by how things are beginning to line up. I have a new lease of life for my business after having plateaued for a while. Having the accountability of Shane as my coach has made a remarkable difference to our momentum. With a refined business model and some real marketing in place, I am excited about the direction of growth. Shane’s way of working has ensured the coaching journey hasn’t been overwhelming, and my confidence in my business’s future is growing more every day.
We have been working with Shane over the last six months. We have really appreciated his insight into the business; having a fresh set of eyes has been invaluable. We would have never put together the new service plan or started the new marketing streams without him, and we know going forward, this will have a huge impact on the business.
