Take a look at the following videos to see what Marti's clients are saying.
As you will see, a wide range of businesses from a number of industries have enlisted Marti's help and have all experienced fantastic results...
"About 9 months ago I was working 60 hours a week, running around all day putting out fires. Huge amount of stress running 9 guys. We had a turnover of $1.4 million dollars and with only $80,000 profit. In 9 months we have managed to turn the whole business around, our team now is actually fantastic, we've got a lot of systems in place. We do a lot of marketing and advertising, we've got a website now which we never had, we use the Yellow Pages for advertising. We've now basically gone from a company with 9 people to a company with 31 people, which is absolutely fantastic because we've got no more STRESS!
Our bottom line has grown to $440,000 a year now, our future is looking fantastic, we're looking to expand even more and getting up to maybe 40 guys. We've got a full time Sales and Marketing Manager, a full time office lady, we've actually moved out of home! Our business was running from a bedroom, we've got our little office in Sandringham now which has taken all the stress of the home life as well. I've just recently been to my sons school camp and I didn't even have to take my mobile phone which is quite rewarding. We're looking to go to Las Vegas later this year, I'm taking a month off and basically the company is running by itself which is absolutely fantastic. I'm basically doing 40 hours a week now with a lot more money in my back pocket. Just a quick thanks to Marti for turning my business and life around."

"7 months ago when I approached Marti I was turning over around $7,000 per month while working 60-70 hours a week and found myself going backwards in a hurry. I didn't know anything about business, marketing or any of the finer aspects of business. I took Marti on, I was a bit sceptical to start with as I didn't really have the money to throw towards coaching but knew that I needed to fast-track my way forward.
After working with Marti, we developed a few marketing strategies, one being the Yellow Pages which I just think is AMAZING! 7 months later we're now turning over $30,000 a month, I have 4 installers working on a contract basis part-time, 3-4 days a week. I'm still working 60-70 hours a week but on different parts of the business, I'm now growing it and bringing more products on board. The future is looking really good, I recommend a business coach of some description. Marti has been absolutely amazing for our business, I question whether we would be here had I not got hold of Marti when I did. "

"We're an online t-shirt store, www.mrvintage.co.nz , we retail a lot of vintage and 80's pop culture t-shirts and a great range of iconic kiwi brands.
I engaged in a business coach as I saw the business had a lot of potential to get pretty big, and so I was wanting to fast-track that growth. I was concerned about maximising the potential the business had and I guess just having someone there to bounce ideas off. The best thing about working with a coach is my focus on solely working on the business rather than in it. My whole mindset has changed since coming on board with Marti.
We were working out of the basement at my home, just myself and Andy. We were doing around $250,000 per year. Now we've got 4 full time staff, 3 part-timers and turnover is well over $1,000,000."

"Marti has helped us heaps in making our business a success. Just a few ideas from him in terms of lead generation allowed us to generate 495 leads from one expo. From there, we are working on our sales process to convert at least 10-15% of those, which means an extra $50,000 into our business. Marti has been a huge help and his experience has been so valuable to us. It's fast-tracked our business and just stopped us from making a whole heap of mistakes on the way there.
Marti's basically given us a lot focus in terms of what we have to do strategically to grow our business work through proposals and specific strategies that really are accelerating our business from initially $4,000 per month up to $15-16,000 per month in the last 3 months! Marti has been really invaluable and we wish we could have him more than just once a fortnight."

"About 5 or 6 years ago I decided to take my business more serious, and found working from home had a lot of disruptions and non-motivational factors. So I decided to get involved with a business coach after being approached by Marti. The business I had that was running 3 properties started to snowball. We got into advertising, Marti helped me to put together adverts and within the first year we managed to double the business, the second year we doubled it again and eventually I had Marti for the whole year.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Marti, he got me involved in the BNI networking groups and I quite often point out to them how Marti was my coach, and I would give Marti my full support for the work that he does, he's quite fantastic actually. He motivated me, I got stuck in and we ended up trebling the size of the business. I eventually decided to retire, sold the business for a 6 figure sum and that was quite fantastic after only 4 years from starting. All things considered, it was a great success, my hat off to Marti and best luck."

"We hired Marti a couple months ago to help us out with our customer services and sales process. Before getting Marti on board we were signing up about 19 people per week averaging about a $30,000 turnover per week. Since then we've been signing up approximately 43 people per week taking us up to a $68,000 a week turnover. The result for us has been amazing and really turned the business around, so I'd like to thank Marti for all the help he's given us."

"Bev and I brought SKIDS about 18 months ago, and as much as we knew how to run a SKIDS program and how to turn a SKIDS franchise, we didn't want to make the same mistakes that the previous franchisor had made and we knew that we needed help learning how to develop the business as a whole. And we wanted to make sure we had a regular accountability factor and that's really what coaching has done for us, it has forced us to step outside our comfort zones and really look at the big picture.
Well you don't know what you don't know so I guess learning and personal development has been a huge one for me, and it's been a lot of fun learning new things, learning how we can do things better. Meeting lots of new people and just having regularly weekly meetings as an accountability factor has been really enjoyable.
We've opened up 4 new sites and another 6 are signed up and ready to go. We made the finals at the Franchise Awards and were Runners Up in our section, so we've had lots and lots of success."
