Gold Coast, Australia, February 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- At the company’s annual Awards Dinner, ActionCOACH founder and CEO Brad Sugars presented Marcus Kroek with the “Best Client Results” award.

“It feels great to receive this honor – for my business and for the businesses I coach. It is all about focusing on how to make a business successful,” he said. “I focus on the action required to get the results I want in my business and the results my clients want in theirs. I feel honored to coach business owners and executives who work together to achieve great results.”

Kroek plans to work with 20 additional business owners in his local area to achieve growth in 2009.

“The real measure of the success of our coaches is the results they bring to their clients every day,” Sugars said. “With every happy client testimonial, Marcus is proving to be a great coach – and it is an honor to present this award to him.”

Kroek believes that the total focus of his coaching is to get great results for his clients.

“The results are usually in terms of sustainable profitability, but can also come in the form of team building or helping the business owner achieve a more balanced lifestyle,” he said. “This complete commitment to client results, so that business owners can achieve the life they desire, is my driving passion.”

The other two recipients of this award were Jeevan Nadchatiram Sahadevan and Keith Collins, who were chosen from among finalists that included, Graeme Owen, Gavin Bassett, Alison Billaud, Jamie Barclay, Ashley Thompson, Wayne Gillan and Hank De Smit.
