What our clients are saying about their Coaches:

“I’ve known Juan and BCS since August 2011. From the beginning his prime concern has always been in on how best to help me in the growth of my company and in my own professional growth. We at APOGEU have been able to multiply Gross Revenue by 4 and Net Profits by 5 and dramatically increase our number of students from 380 to 2850 today.”

“In my experience during the last 2 years, Juan has had a perfect approach to coaching me. He gives the tools for self education help you become an effective entrepreneur and asks the questions making you think about what leads you to find the right way for you to grow as a successful business owner. Sales have increased by 300 % from 1 year ago, profits by 400% and our first quarter bookings for 2019 are already 3/4 of what they were for whole of 2018.”

“GLC Minerals has seen a big improvement in rigor around daily activities and quarterly priorities that are aligned with the company’s strategic direction. In the past the management met together and set the priorities – that was okay – but through Petra we get the second level managers rowing in the same direction as well.
The daily huddle was a major improvement for us. It serves as a touchstone for the day, a bit of camaraderie and fun and a place to reinforce our core values. All in all, Petra has helped us make “one giant step forward”. More to do! Thanks especially to Jennifer and Taylor for making the effort to get to know us and work alongside GLC to improve.”

“PETRA has proved to be everything we hoped for and more. The cool, calm and thought-provoking insight of Jennifer motivates and inspires us every day. She patiently listens to our thoughts and ideas allowing us to embrace our creativity but always graciously forces us back to the tough questions and encourages us to find answers that really tie a bow around the outcome we are wanting. Jennifer’s quiet energy and guidance gives a real sense that our goals are achievable, and she makes us WANT to achieve them.
As a team we have found the PETRA system to be instrumental in keeping us aligned in pursuit of our goals, while holding our team together as a closely-knit unit. We cannot sing the praises of our team at PETRA enough and believe it’s the perfect coaching model for Outside GO. “

“Rick has invested in me personally as well as professionally. For this, I am very grateful”

“Rick Noland has been working with and in my business for about two years now. I cannot begin to express the help he has provided me during this time. As the owner of a multi-million dollar company I don’t have a boss other than my clients of course. This left me without a person to challenge me. I needed to be challenged and have someone to bounce ideas off of. I think of Rick as my coach and my entire team thinks the same way. He has gained everyone’s trust and respect while challenging them to think differently about how they do business every day. Several years ago I had a bad experience with a business consulting firm that nearly put us out of business. I was reluctant to start working with Rick for this reason. Rick put me at ease and my experience has been entirely different. Rick has always been more than fair with his fees and puts our business first in making sure we can afford his services. This obviously is a passion for Rick and he clearly likes helping businesses thrive. After two years it still amazes me how well Ricks grasps our industry despite his background being in totally separate professions. I can’t imagine a business or business owner that could not benefit from the expert help that Rick Noland can provide. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at all.”

“Rick and I currently have multiple mutual clients. I find that the clients Rick is working with are more in tune to their financial statements. He inspires them to actually look at and pay attention to what their profit and loss statement says. They are aware that the percentages on the report actually mean something. They still may not know exactly what those numbers mean but they know they are there for a reason and they need to pay attention to them. Rick is able to discuss certain aspects of his client’s lives to help them achieve their business goals. Also, to help set up those goals in the first place. He is also there to keep them on track. I believe utilizing Rick’s services is a great asset to any company looking to either get a better handle on where they are and where they want to go. Or, to someone who knows what they want but needs some assistance in getting there.”

“Rick Noland, Noland Consulting, has helped my business grow properly. I hired Rick in mid 2014 and since that time he has helped me scale, understand and tweak finances, hire, define core clients, and improve all of my processes and product. Hiring Rick has been an investment, not an expense! I cannot imagine running my business without his expertise and partnership. I highly recommend Rick for any business that wants to grow, improve their processes, or even plan a clean smart exit strategy.”

“I wanted to take a few moments to express my sincerest gratitude for your unwavering guidance and insight. Your coaching has transformed me from a frustrated business owner ready to throw in the towel into the manager/operator of a successful IT firm that has experienced a 275% increase in profitability over three years. I recall when we first sat down to talk shop, you told me that I was not your typical client and that you were not even sure you could help me. Today RockIT Solutions is a competitive & profitable business while 2018 promises to be another banner year. From applying great focus to such rudimentary subjects like what the company’s core purpose should be to more critical aspects such as reviewing financial statements and discussing tax strategy for the coming year, your tactics could have had no other result than success. Thank you for pushing me and putting up with my occasional nonsense.”

“We just had an intense few days working with the Scaling Up tools with Nico’s guide. You can try to do it on your own but you’ll never get these results. It’s so much easier when you have an experienced hand guiding you through the process. At the end of the week, the group was aligned behind our goals, we defined the strategy and we are all ready to take the organization to the next step. I really recommend business leaders to have Nico help them Scale Up.”
