Who should Hire a Business Coach? How would you know how to hire a business Coach? Do you even need one?

Every business, and every business owner is different. So how can we work with blue collar and white collar businesses? How can we get results such as those in our Case Studies and Testimonials?

What do others have to say?

Letter of Recomendation (US Bank)

Jim is a great communicator and facilitator. He received a rating of 4.9 on a five point scale in a post training survey we conducted. The Brian Tracy material supported our efforts by providing a logical and sequential framework allowing us to explore all the steps of the sales process. If you are looking for sales training or business coaching, I highly recommend using Jim Masters of FocalPoint Business Coaching.

Role playing practice was a great tool along with observation and feedback from the facilitators.  It helps to identify where we need to focus and practice.  There were lots of outside reference (books) given for further study from the different perspectives.
