"Since I began working with Geoff our business has grown significantly in turn-over, but more importantly in profits.

Gaining a thorough understanding from Geoff of profit margins, productivity and systems has seen our business bank balance grow dramatically, which we can then re-invest back into the business for further growth.

Geoff clearly identifies any weak points we have and then together we get to work on turning them into strengths.

Geoff’s knowledge of the mechanical industry gives him such an advantage over other business coaches we have used over the years, and gives us confidence taking advice from him.

I would never take financial advice from someone driving a $1,000 wreck of a car, but I wouldn’t hesitate taking business advice from someone running a very professional stand-out company such TaT BIZ."

"I have worked with Geoff over a number of years with great results.

With hard work I now have two profitable workshops that are run by managers, allowing me to spend time working on the businesses and filling gaps when required.

We have worked on a range of areas from financial monitoring and staff productivity through to systems and marketing.

The regular contact has kept me focused on completing the required tasks. Our results speak for themselves.

From the 2010 to 2012 our combined sales grew by 75% and our net profit by more than 700%.

I would strongly recommended Geoff to any workshop owner wanting to improve their business."

"When I started working with Geoff I had been in business for 13 years.

Like most workshops I was always busy working huge hours. However I felt that I wasn’t getting reasonable reward for my effort.

I attended a TaT Biz training night in May 2011 and decided to give the One-on-one business mentoring program a go.

Since then we have made plenty of changes and the hard work has paid off with a considerable improvement in my results.

Our monthly sales are up by 25% and our gross profit margin has increased by a staggering 40%. There is still lots of hard work needed before I will reach my ultimate goal, however the regular contact and accountability with Geoff keeps me focused on doing the things that will eventually get me there.

I would strongly recommend Geoff to other workshop owners who feel their business could be better."

"For anyone who owns and runs their own business, finding the time to concentrate on the inner workings of the business is difficult, especially when we are so focused on trying to make money from our investment.

When we engaged Geoff to help out, our workshop wasn’t being as profitable as it could be and we weren’t sure what we could be doing better to improve it.

We were a little sceptical about the program but figured if we can recoup the cost of Geoff’s program then we haven’t lost.

In the first 12 months we picked up 20% in sales through using his strategies and have had continual growth since, both in profits and customers.

As well as focusing on our bottom line, we have also put in place programs to ensure our processes with customers are consistent and all staff are on the same page.

It has been well and truly worthwhile, financially, for our business implementing this program and I would not hesitate to suggest to anyone who wishes to improve their bottom line and business profitability to do the same."

"We have run our current business for over 18 years but felt that there was something we were missing.

We attended a TaT Biz training session and were astounded by the amount of knowledge we gained in just one session that we were keen to know more.

We employed the services of Geoff to help us identify areas within our business that needed improvement in order for it to reach its true potential.

In consultation with us, Geoff developed a strategic plan for us to implement, step by step, within our business. Our staff embraced the plan and along with us our hard work has achieved excellent results.

In the past we found too many distractions stopped us finding the time to work on the business. The accountability and regular contact from Geoff has been critical in keeping us focused.

Although we are a member of a network group we found the personal assistance, provided by Geoff, has been the essential component in helping us drive our business to the next level.

We now have a clear plan and the skills to consistently monitor and improve our business in the future. We highly recommend Geoff and TaT Biz to anyone wanting to get the most out of their business.
