ActionCOACH of CT Offers Sounding Board to Help Small Business Owners

Westport, CT, December 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Extending the Bush tax rates should help, but the owners of small businesses will still need to work smart to succeed. So ActionCOACH of Connecticut, part of the world’s largest business coaching network, is offering Sounding Board. This program is a unique combination of professional business coaching, a new, more effective networking technique and mutual assistance among a select group of-growth-minded businesspeople.

The next Sounding Board meeting is Tuesday, January 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Prospective Sounding Board members must prequalify to attend. To participate they must be business owners and their business cannot compete with current members. To prequalify, call 203 210.7003.

For 2011 Sounding Board will continue to offer group mentoring and guest speakers on the following topics:

- Marketing and sales: Finding more prospects and converting them to customers
- Metrics: Measuring and managing your company’s performance
- Planning: Creating and implementing a business plan to reach your goals
- Team: Building a business that runs successfully without your constant involvement.

At no additional cost, Sounding Board members are included in the full-day ActionCOACH GrowthCLUB 90-day planning program that helps them create effective business plans to achieve their goals for the quarter and ultimately the year—an $1,800 value.

The next five business owners who sign up for Sounding Board will receive a one-to-one mentoring session to review their social marketing activities to get the most out of these platforms, including professional copy development for LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Biznik, and others—a $500 value.

Sounding Board will be lead by Certified Action Business Coach Josh Slavitt.
