Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost?
The SBCC holds a rule of thumb of not embarking upon a client relationship unless both parties can commit to time, financial investment and education. Prices range from $100-$650 a month.
Am I financially committed to a long-term contract?
Although the spirit of the understanding is to work together for twelve months or more, the SBCC coaching contract allows a client to stop at any point. In fact, if after commencing, it becomes apparent that a satisfactory return is not possible, either party can discontinue.
How does the process begin?
- Simply contact the SBCC to make an appointment. We will conduct a business assessment.
- We then determine your needs and whether we offer a service that is right for you.
- If we can help your business grow, we will email a coaching proposal to you for your final decision.
I'm confused about the term "coaching"?
"Coaching" has become a familiar term that can mean many things. There are: life coaches, executive coaches, career coaches, health coaches, personal coaches, sales coaches, transition coaches, leadership coaches, ADD coaches, mentor coaches, management coaches, real estate coaches, retirement coaches and so on.
As for business coaches, anyone with no real proven business education and applied management background can actually pose as a "Business Coach". In other words, be careful in your selection.
Approaching well recognized certifying bodies, such as the Professional Business Coaches Alliance, is a good place to start. Then, before trusting someone with your business future, why not do some credential research and reference checks. A business coach works with you, hand-in-hand, to help you reach your business goals.
What types of businesses and industries does SBCC support?
The foundation blocks of any business are in many ways astoundingly alike. In that regard, your coach has had sufficient prior experience in personally managing a good variety of businesses, you will not be at a loss. Over and above this fact, SBCC has access to a wide array of resources from which to draw industry specific ratios and performance factors.
