Meet Karin & Marlize

“We struggled with how to sell ourselves as a service only business and I want to tell anyone that also has a service based business that ActionCOACH can help you so much in growing your business.” - Marlize & Karin

Where it began

The business was started by Deon and Karin Visser in 2008 when our oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. We didn’t want to follow the medical route, because we believed that he required skills that medicine would not give him.

Deon is a professor in Chemistry and started doing research on what is out there that is backed by Science that would help our son. The program we used made a big difference and coming from a family of business owners, we saw a big opportunity to bring this program to more families in SA. A lot of children get labeled so fast and all skills that the brain need to function well can be taught.

Getting an ActionCOACH

We met ActionCOACH Diederick at a social media event and we knew that ActionCOACH was for us. We embraced the principles of the ActionCOACH brand and we immediately realised what we lacked. If you want to be really coached by someone you need to be teachable, trainable, and changeable. We had no turning back with him. He helped us to believe that we can be bigger and better. Then Marie Louise came into the picture and she carried on working with our agency owners.

Business Milestones

Three of our biggest milestones was having a SYSTEM that runs on AUTOPILOT, it was blood and tears to get there but it was so worth it ( timesaving). The second one was because of our SYSTEMS we could grow internationally and are currently expanding in Canada, Africa, and the USA. Thirdly winning the Female entrepreneur Award at BEFA ( i am not sure, it think it was in 2017).

Personal Moments

ActionCOACH had a major impact not only in business but also personally. As I said, the core values are exactly what we live by and we teach our children that as well. We can afford to go on yearly overseas holidays (prior to covid) and just did our first one in June again. But we have the freedom to run a business and we are not bound by location.

Where to next

ActionCOACH is part of the Biolink brand, we teach all our new agencies these principles and they run their business on the systems we put in place. We want to build the brand even bigger in SA, but having an international business gives us the freedom to earn $$$ and we do not have to put in any other effort than just supporting and growing what we have.

We have created a residual income through our marketing plan and the business will be our childrens when we are not around.

Having ADHD ourselves, we will never stop expanding, growing, and learning more. There is so many opportunities out there and if you know how to properly start and run a business, we can do anything. We will see where our paths will lead is.

So, how do we get started?2024-05-06T13:57:23+02:00

First, you need to get in touch with your local ActionCOACH as there’s some very simple paperwork to sign and you’re on your way. Next, you’ll need to invest a few hours showing your coach everything about your business. Together you’ll get a plan created – and then the work really starts! Remember, it may seem like a big job at the start but with an ActionCOACH business coach you’re sharing the load. Together, we’ll achieve great things.

What areas will you coach me in?2024-05-06T13:54:27+02:00

Our “5 Ways” and “6 Steps” are two of the most powerful formulas in the world of business and we put it to use to work with you in all areas to help you multiply your revenues and profit… but that is just one area of our focus. When you work with an ActionCOACH, the emphasis taken will depend on you, your business, and of course, your goals. These key areas are:

  • Sales and Finance – You can’t know if you’re winning if you don’t have a full understanding of the scoreboard. This is the backbone for creating profitable business, and one of the areas we’ll help you get spectacular results in.
  • Marketing & Advertising – If you want to make a sale, you’ve got to find a prospect first. Over the next 12 months your ActionCOACH will teach you amazingly simple, yet powerful, streetwise marketing techniques and approaches that will drive profits.
  • Team Building & Recruitment – You’ll never wish to find the right people again. You’ll have motivated, passionate, enthusiastic, and loyal team members for your business when your ActionCOACH shows you how to put our de-selection process to use.
  • Systems & Business Development – End the hopeless cycle of “the business running you” and begin running your business. We will show you the secrets of having your business “work”… even when you’re not there.
  • Mastery and Customer Service – Discover how to deliver your product or service consistently, making it easy for your customers to buy and leaving them feeling delighted with your service. Learn new ways to motivate your current customers to give you referrals and to ensure their repeat business.
