Opportunity: Business & Commercial
EXECUTIVE DECISION FocalPoint is a coaching opportunity backed by one of the best-known names in business
I
n the world of business coaching and executive training, there are few better-known names than Brian Tracy. Many of New Zealand’s senior executives have benefited from his globally-renowned programmes, with clients including such well-known names as Air New Zealand, Toyota, ReMax and Coca-Cola, as well as many thousands of smaller companies. Now there’s an opportunity for experienced managers and entrepreneurs to deliver those programmes themselves. FocalPoint is the franchise which distributes Brian Tracy seminars, trainings and products around the world, and they are looking for the right people to become certified FocalPoint Coaches in New Zealand. ‘In today’s market, having the right coaching and training is more important than ever,’ says FocalPoint franchisor Andrew Phillips. ‘Even before Covid-19, research showed some 86 percent of businesses were under-achieving; executives are being asked to do substantially more with fewer resources; and the average executive position lasts just two years. Using the programmes developed over 35 years by Brian Tracy, FocalPoint franchisees can help change all that.’
Get people engaged Andrew says that a great FocalPoint coach is ‘not a loud, flag-waving hero at the front of a room – great coaches are steady, confident people who are good at asking questions, summarising, providing feedback and helping to define next steps. It’s about empathy and engaging your customers in achieving their KPIs.’
over $250,000 for three years in a row. That points to the size of the opportunity, especially when you consider the high margins and low overheads from running a home-based business which can result in a Gross Profit of 80 percent or more.’ The second opportunity is for a master franchisee able to develop FocalPoint throughout the country by appointing and supporting local franchisees. They can also engage as a coach themselves while developing the business. ‘New Zealand is a unique country with a unique culture, so ultimately we need a local leader. As an indicator, our master franchisee in Australia appointed 15 franchisees over 3 years, which shows what a good leader can achieve,’ says Andrew. The master franchise investment is $175,000 +gst. In both cases, franchisees will receive considerable support from Andrew (who is based in Australia) and the FocalPoint headquarters in Vancouver. ‘With agreed KPIs, monthly reporting and scorecards for every engagement, we can help franchisees stay on track and provide the support they need to achieve their goals,’ says Andrew. ‘Our business coaches around the world are busier than ever, so if you are looking for a work-from-home business with a great brand, massive resources, and the opportunity to help others, contact me and find out more about FocalPoint.’
