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.

We Guarantee to get results, and that you’ll be able to “Find our Fee” in your business within 17-weeks of ActionCOACH coaching your company or your coaching is FREE.

Remember we are still your Business Coach and we can’t do your work for you. You ́re still the player, and it will always be up to you to take the field.

We will push you, cajole you, help you, be there for you, and even do some things with you but in the end you ́ve still got to DO the work.

Ultimately, only YOU can ever be truly accountable and responsible for your own success, but we will guarantee to provide the best service and support available, to answer your questions and challenges promptly, and offer you the most current and appropriate processes and approaches.

This is to ensure you never compromise either the long- term health and success of you or your company, or your personal values and what ́s most important to you.

Will it cost me extra to implement the strategies?2024-05-06T13:35:44+02:00

No, implementing the strategies is part of the ActionCOACH experience. Give your ActionCOACH just a half-hour and you’ll be shown how to turn your marketing into an investment that yields sales and profits rather than just running up your expenses.

In most cases, an ActionCOACH will actually save you money when that coach discovers areas that aren’t working for you or your business. For some marketing programs, you will need to spend some money to make some money.

Yet, when you follow our easy-to-use testing and measuring systems, you won’t be risking your money on each campaign. And when we find the campaigns that work, we make sure you keep profiting from them time and again.

Remember, when you default to the accounting way of saving costs, you can only add a few percentage points to your bottom line.

Following the ActionCOACH formulas, the returns from your sales and marketing can be exponential.

What is one-on-one coaching?2024-05-06T13:15:04+02:00

We offer many different coaching programs, all designed to help your business grow revenue and profits and while you can always start with a group coaching program, nothing gives you the results that one-on-one coaching does.

One-on-one coaching is the only program in which your ActionCOACH will work with you one-on-one for at least 12-months to make all of your goals a reality. There isn’t an area of your business that one-on-one coaching doesn’t touch.

From weekly coaching calls and goal setting sessions to working with you on your new marketing pieces, you will develop new sales strategies and business systems so you can work less and learn all you need to know to make your dreams come true.

Your monthly investment in one-on-one coaching ensures your ActionCOACH will dedicate a minimum of five hours a month to work with you on your sales, marketing, team building, business development and every element of the Action Plan you created during your Alignment Consultation.

We understand that every business is at different levels in their business and that’s why we’ve also developed multiple Group Coaching programs to fit the needs of every level.

Unlike a consultant, your personal ActionCOACH will do more than just show you what to do; he or she will be with you when you need them most as each idea takes shape, as each campaign is put into place, as you need the little pointers to make things happen. Your ActionCOACH will also be there when you need someone to talk to, when you’re faced with challenges or, most importantly, when you’re just not sure what to do next.

Your ActionCOACH will be there every step of the way.
