At the ECROTrain Business Coaching Centre, we understood the pressure on managers who are searching for all the right answers to wring better results from their Business. Many say, “If I knew how, I would have already done it.” Or “ I did the best I knew how.” For some managers, running a small business gets all too hard.

Let me explain it like this. One constant thing People want to know is how to attract and keep customers walking in the door… or how to keep making contact, so customers keep buying more, more often.

They tell us they’ve had book learning. They’ve been to seminars. They say “Transferring the information into their business can take for ever”. Even then, they don’t know if they have got it right!

We know that Small Business Operators want instant results. Based on this need, ECROTrain Self Coaching E Books have been designed to make what Managers need to know, possible and easier to attain.

The ECROtrain self-training format “cuts straight to the chase” and introduces managers to a number of “insider business secrets” that many entrepreneurs from around the world, successfully use.

Having a Mentor Coach is now recognised as a most efficient training tool, as managers realise the significant advantages of hiring a coach to improve abilities or fast track results on the job.

Improving your performance is important. Busy executives hire personal coaches because they want more out of their business, career and life. Many of them hire fitness trainers, similar to champion athletes taking on a coach. They want to win, to ratchet abilities up to higher levels.

Many feel something is missing in life and hire a Coach to help develop strategies to revive the passion for Life and Business they once had, before it all falls apart.
Time poor managers realise there are gaps in their ability to get the most out of their Enterprise. Learning Business skills at Business colleges, as excellent as they may be, takes too long. They want immediate informed information; the insider secrets learnt from a “Master Entrepreneur”, which can be put straight into their work.

Recognition is the big one, closely followed by respect. Then there’s knowing what to do in business – the street-smart tricks and tactics.

People want to get back in the game when the going in life, home and work gets tough. But they often want to refute their state of denial about failing and to take back the initiative. But they procrastinate.

In general, people want help, to be kept on track, to stop being distracted when working alone and to be able to make the right choices. Improving one’s lot in life is important. But often it’s the self-limiting paradigms, habits of thinking and biased perceptions that can be self-sabotaging, even fragmenting your every desire.

In the Mentoring dynamic, you get to talk with someone who accepts you; believes in you; sees your potential; is totally committed to help you in a non-critical, non-judgmental way. And do it in a way that can be far greater than the support you get from family and friends, whose views may be biased by their issues and beliefs. This mentor coaching rapport builds a powerful synergy that can generate some amazing results.

It’s a given, to be in business you possess basic technical skills. You’ve reached the point to wanting more than learning common business skills. You’d prefer to be introduced to the street smart entrepreneurial type of management ability and “walked through’ training material provided.

It is also a given that managers would prefer to work with a Business Coach who has the hard won broadest scope of experience, training, skill, and ability to help take a reality check on concerns and issues, challenge any outmoded mindset, beliefs, attitudes, habits, systems, methods, skills ability and know-how.

In the one-on-one mentoring format, the ECROTrain Business coach, functions like a sounding board, a listener, an amplifier and is there to ask the laser-like incisive questions that help you compare options, And then by way of providing knowledge through the E Books and coaching work books, feedback, clarity and support, you’ll strengthen resolve, shape options, develop strategies and implement the plan. With your permission, he will add the “few gems of wisdom” from their vast experience to get you the edge.

The focus of ECROTrain business Coaching material and format is about right thinking … thinking right … Possibility Thinking.

Learning how to think smarter rather than work harder to make a business profitable. As author of the ECROTrain E Books and coaching Programs, Noel Spann’s business savvy and down to earth insight will stimulate your potential to bring a harmonic balance within business, career or life-skills. His ability has been gleaned from 50 years at the sharp end of entrepreneurial and mentoring experiences in business, industry and commerce.

Also having worked for years rescuing and resuscitating troubled ventures, reinventing systems and management skills training, Noel found what managers really wanted was a point specific coaching partnership. He developed a structured tutorial format to cover the 6 essential portals of Business Success by incorporating streetwise business methods into holistic programs that are a cut above the rest.

With his E- Books, tutorials and coaching techniques Noel helps you make quantum leaps in ways to achieve amazing results. With his powerful mentoring support and feedback he keeps you focused on your challenges and ambitions.

You have to be congratulated on thinking about hiring a regular Business Mentor Coach!

I think you’d agree we’ve all seen how some people reach greatness by themselves. And how most of us would do a whole lot better, if we had some professional guidance.

Think of how the professional athlete improves under the watchful eye of the coach. The intent is to improve their personal best. At times it’s not easy, but it isn’t too hard either.

Hiring a Business Mentor Coach is similar to hiring a personal fitness trainer to achieve what you want out of life and business. What you‘ll gain will be proportionate with the effort and time you put in.

ECROTrain Business Mentor coaching techniques help you scrutinise and expand on what you already do. Maybe give a couple of new ideas. By hiring a performance enhancing Coach, you will enjoy a number of things.

Multiple Benefits flow from being coached on Productivity Improvement by the ECROTrain Coaching Centre. Better efficiencies, Resource Utilization, Adding Value, and New Ideas will happen in the Operational, Administration, Marketing- sales Functions of the Business. The Mentoring process will help you attain specific management skills.

Improving Business Performance and Outcomes.
This is number one. ECROTrain Productivity Coaching brings out the best in the business, the individual, the Boss, the Team, the Resources and Systems to achieve amazing results.

Improving the Skills Learning Process
Productivity Coaching is learning on the fast track and transferring that learning into the work place, without fuss, bother or lost time. Staff Retention is enhanced.

A More Motivated Upbeat Staff
Forget the carrot and stick motivation syndrome and get people performing because they want to, not because they have to. Productivity coaching helps people discover their purpose and self- motivation.

A Greater Flow of Creative Ideas
Set up the work environment to encourage creative ideas and suggestions from all the members of the team without fear of ridicule, opinionated judgment or premature dismissal. One clever innovation sparks many others.

Improved Client-Staff Relationships
In the Productivity coaching process the act of asking someone a question recognizes their worth and values their opinion. Whereas just telling people does not get positive interactions for them to blossom.

A Winning Way of Life
Productivity coaching relates to attitude, behaviour and mindset as multiple applications both in and out of the work place. Life skill development is an invaluable for work, family, sport and personal relationships.

Rapid Change to uplift the Business Culture
The process of Productivity Coaching underpins the management style of a high performance value adding culture that so many Business operators aspire.

Adaptability within Continuous Improvement
The Productivity coaching is about analysing situations, making changes and tracking improvements to cope with intensified competition, technological changes, and sophisticated customer demands.

More Freedom for the Boss
The work force, when coached on proficiency, will welcome responsibility, does not have to be closely supervised, which frees the manager to drive the business from the front. This in the past was hard to do.

Maximising Performance
Profits measure sales performance. Financial ratios measure cash flow. But the engine that drives every enterprise is Productivity, which means working to get the best out of the capital, products, systems, people, equipment and all resources used by a Business.

Extraordinary Leadership
The ability to lead is a lot more than a natural gift. Studies show that Leadership is a concrete and learnable skill. It’s one where the specific proficiencies, attitudes and habits can be studied. And then honed by a systematic mentoring process to develop and implement those skills.

It is accepted that Business school learning and experiences in the work place are from where managers gain most of their business skills. Many realize they’re working hard, but just surviving. Most admit to a lack in their entrepreneurial ability and business nouse, but where to learn it and how to change for the better remains a dead end.

Most managers are in strife and have to rethink their business practices fast and now!

Noel Spann has faced similar situations a number of times. But rather hope that it will all go away as most Business operators tend to do, he sought out the “Street wise” and acclaimed Masters of Business and learnt from them. This tactic fine-tuned and expanded his Ability for Enterprise. Noel uses it to resuscitate troubled businesses. He re-jigs people’s mindset and stimulates his/her thinking as a manager.

He figured to pass on his many insights and skills, his approach had to be more organic and holistic. Noel formulated that criterion into an adult learning format and wrote digests, workbooks and e-books, which he uses in his in-depth mentor coach methods.

He figured to be successful, that is where Managers don’t ‘choke’ on the pressures at work, people had to be coached on Possibility Thinking, Innovation and Productivity Improvement within the framework of their small business. They wanted what worked for them. Devising ways to resolve issues and unlock their thinking came from years of working as a consultant in small business and major project rescue and resuscitation.

In reality, people in business are tired of working hard and long, for fewer and lower results. Noel worked on how to change that situation. His inspirational insights, asset out in his ECROTrain Challenge format have worked wonders for many troubled traders.

To break out of the mystery of Small Business Success and achieve what was once regarded as too hard, his emphasis is to challenge a manager’s self-limiting mindset. It makes all the difference. Clients, who hire Noel as their Possibility Thinking Coach and Mentor, soon learn by gaining better control of their life at work and home, they win. They love being turned around from heading to failure to what they are now achieving.

To that end, Noel adds all number of methods to get people to capitalise on their unique talents. Managers releasing self-sabotaging beliefs and attitudes achieve some pretty amazing outcomes. That is how to get a better grasp on what they sell and what their target customer will buy, how to simplify work, improve systems or reduce hours at work. The paradigms that restrict success are hunted out or they are re-configured.

One client talking about Noel’s mentoring techniques put it like this. ‘His is not a set of rules to follow, but an experience that straightens up your thinking so it stays right for you for the rest of your life.

The ongoing improvements boost results to levels never thought possible. You’ll gain greater financial independence, so you can do the things you enjoy most and from that enjoy all the recognition … and receive due respect … the deepest desires of us all. “
