What others said about us

Testimonials

Rodney was a fantastic trainer - very knowledgeable and helpful as he led us through the Business Planning session. We now better understand why we do business and our point of difference vs. other painting contractors. I have more confidence in the business going forward with the KPI's and action plan we’ve created.

Michelle Chitty

Spitfire Painting Limited

The Business Planning session with Rodney fostered open discussions about the direction of the business. Being together in one room, we were able to develop and align around a clear business purpose and mission.

Rachelle Tapara

TPF Limited

Business coaching with Robertson Bixley has challenged our thinking and pushed us. We’re now clear on where we're going, what we need to do to get there, potential hurdles and have a plan to mitigate them as best as possible.

Scott Lewis

Flax Street Mortgages

The Business Planning session is invaluable. It’s helped the directors gain clarity and a clear vision on how to move forward in a structured and clear way. We are a $12 million revenue business and will potentially be at $20 million in a couple years because we now have clarity on how to make changes to reach our operational and financial goals.

Mike

Accurate Infrastructure

Every single Business Planning session has been a major benefit to us. The sessions allow us to work on the business and bounce ideas off each other. Meeting with Rodney confirms what areas we are lacking in, how to address these issues so we can be more efficient and hold us accountable on the steps we need to take.

Coromandel Homes

We have a whole new outlook on our business and the running of a business. The business planning session gave us the peace of mind that what we are doing is right, we just need to tweak a few areas and were given the tools to go about making those changes happen.

Dylan

Coat to Coat Painters

Time passes so quickly it’s easy to carry on in autopilot without making a purposeful plan. But getting involved with business planning sessions has meant we are now in a proactive space, have financial clarity, clear short-term goals which are moving us towards long-term planning.

Amber and Willy Jones

Precision Pools

You just need to make time for business development. It is a priority if you want to move ahead with business planning and organisation. I have my notes above my desk and they have become easy reference tools. I look at them every morning to give me motivation and purpose for the day's work.

Janine Williams

Williams Law

We now have a plan of attack to be able to successfully grow our business. We’ve been able to identify areas to work on within the business, set realistic goals with timelines to achieve them, and plan for the future.

Andy Donaldson and Eden Lapwood

Custom Design Pools Ltd

It was great to work through ideas on making the business more efficient. Speaking to someone about the business and sharing ideas on improving it makes a difference. The Business Planning session has given me direction, an action plan and motivation.

Chris McGarry

Tailored Financial Services Ltd

The Business Development session demonstrated how we, as business owners, often make up excuses about why we’re not getting the clients we want.

Rachel Subritzky

The Business Planning session has given me more than a plan. I have accountability, direction and more confidence as a business owner.
