Ben Fewtrell Wins the Coaches Choice ‘Marketing COACH’ Award and ‘Seminar COACH’ Award in Queensland

Las Vegas, NV, April 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Seven years ago, Ben Fewtrell was operating his own local transport company. On his own admission, he didn’t know much about business, was working “crazy” hours and was not making much money.

Today, with a team of seven, he heads ActionCOACH at Gladesville – the fourth largest ActionCOACH agency in the country. In five years from now, he sees himself with offices around Australia – and perhaps globally.

For over six years, Ben has trained, guided and motivated business operators to take the next step in their business development. In the process, he has also grown – professionally and personally.

“It’s hard to put all I’ve learnt into one or two sentences, but I’ve probably got a real understanding of business now,” he says. “It’s more about people than anything else. If you’ve got the right people, you can do anything.”

His clients – mostly small business operators with an annual turnover of under $2 million – come mainly from the city’s metropolitan area, but lately he has been speaking to groups as far afield as Ballina in northern NSW.

Ben and his team teach a variety of skills, ranging from the basics in business through to meatier topics, such as economic development and staff motivation. He has found strong support from local councils and Chambers of Commerce who want his help in developing business strength, efficiency and performance within the public sector.

Ben has seen for himself how ActionCOACH can inspire and motivate people; he joined the organisation after meeting one of the coaches at a seminar. He enjoys watching clients take their business to a higher level and feels that people can benefit most if they come to ActionCOACH when their business is doing OK – but think that things could be better.

“Don’t leave it too late,” he urges. “Sports people don’t wait to get a coach. Business people shouldn’t either.”

ActionCOACH is the world’s number one business coaching firm, with more than 1,000 offices in 26 countries. To learn more, go to actioncoach.com.
