Alan is super encouraging. He is great at pointing out things I’ve never thought about. It’s nice to work with a male in business who has my best interests in mind. Alan is great at keeping me on task without making me feel bad about missing a deadline. My sales and number of students have doubled since Alan began coaching me 5 months ago and I was able to take my first monthly paycheck since starting my dance studio two years ago. More...

“I have found Alan Melton’s coaching to be challenging, thought-provoking and highly educational. I thought I had a firm grasp on managing this company and moving it forward, but at the end of every coaching session my reaction is ‘Why didn’t I think of that? ’ I feel as though we are now moving the company forward in a more systematic and professional manner as opposed to my ‘winging it.’ We increased profits by over $60,000 in first 9 months of this year. I highly recommend Alan as the best business coach to any business owner.” More...

" Alan Melton is helping me to improve my business in a number of ways. Before I was under extreme stress from being constantly interrupted, was working way too many hours and had not taken a vacation in several years. With Alan’s help I have less stress and I’m able to conduct meetings without any interruptions. I have taken days off and took a week vacation this month. Alan helped me to evaluate the costs/benefits of hiring two new employees and gave me the assurance that I could justify the additional expense. My sales and profits have grown even with the new hires.He encouraged me to activate the best business coaching programs that helps me to market my business and measure results. Alan has coached me on how to motivate my employees to meet my business goals. With Alan’s help by next summer I plan to have my business running without my day-to-day involvement. Alan’s coaching has made me progress much faster than I would have otherwise. I just purchased property for my second location! I highly recommend Alan’s services to any business owner that wants grow and improve their business.” Mark, President, Auto Repair Shop More...

Alan was extremely helpful in providing me with suggestions on how I can improve my client pipeline and partner with other businesses. In our very first meeting, I was able to feel his understanding and compassion for my particular situation. He came prepared, listened to my concerns, and offered simple yet effective advice that will yield fantastic results. Thanks, Alan! It has been a pleasure working with you. More...

Alan has been a tremendous help to several of our businesses. It's been over a year, and we still continue to work with him as we launch another business. He's a fantastic listener and always has a useful perspective. Aside from tripling my revenues since meeting Alan, I've found that one of the biggest benefits is confidence. I no longer second guess how I should be spending my time to continue growing. i have a plan, and know exactly what I should be focusing on. That feels great! More...
