What people are saying about our business & marketing coaching programs and courses & seminars:

In just two months since meeting with Dr Greg Chapman, of Empower Business Solutions, I have increased my sales in the slow section of my business by a whopping 400%. Initially I was sceptical that such results were possible. But Greg’s approach to marketing and business planning has totally transformed my business as a whole.  I particularly liked the fact that the strategies he created were designed specifically for my business and not some generic ideas from a manual. They were low cost and easy to implement one step at a time. At the end of my final consultation, he left me with an action plan that will probably take me a year to implement fully. But if the remaining strategies work even half as well as the ones I have already put in place, I will never be short of customers again!  I STRONGLY RECOMMEND HIS ASSISTANCE TO ANY BUSINESS!!

Before working with Dr Greg Chapman, I had ideas I did not know how to implement and objectives I could not achieve. I had been running my own business for eight years with a staff of 15 and had hit a plateau. Since I started working with Greg a few months ago, we have doubled our sales conversion rate and have built sales and marketing systems I wish I had in place years ago. We have a detailed marketing strategy and plan, with both short and long term goals, that gives me the confidence that we will double our sales next year. I feel really empowered and in control for the first time because of the knowledge and support Greg has given me. If you are serious about making a difference in your business, you must get Greg to show you how.

As the owner of a professional services business, I was finding my business was depending mostly on me in spite of having administrative support. But after working with Dr Chapman, I have been able to increase my capacity by 30% simply by implementing the business systems that Greg suggested. I am now able to increase my billable hours and spend more time working on my business, as I choose. I found the monthly updates between our workshops good discipline. I also liked being able to get Greg’s opinion on new initiatives as I developed them, or being able to contact him when I needed to and address issues as they arose. I highly recommend Greg’s service for other business owners looking to make their business less dependent on them.

Since starting to work with Dr Greg Chapman as my Business Coach, my eyes have been opened to the wider business community and how business should be done and strategies I hadn’t even considered before. For example, I had a website for 2 years that was invisible, and after following Greg’s advice, I was on the front page of Google in a week in all my key areas. The ideas Greg has for promoting my business are just fantastic and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is serious in growing their business.

Scott Ellis, Ausdraft

Before working with Empower Business Solutions, I thought I had a business. But now I realise it was more of a job with staff and overheads, and it was unsustainable in its previous form. My business was not producing the results to justify all my hard work. Dr Greg Chapman showed me how to focus on business principles to make it a successful business and how to make it grow. I was able to put in place systems that allowed me to focus on what was most important in the business, leaving to others work that they could do. I have rethought my relationships with my employees who now are more focussed on the things that will take my business to where I want it to go. I now know where my business is going and how I am going to get there. If you are working too many hours and not achieving the results you know you deserve, get Greg to show you how to turn your business around.

When we started working with Empower Business Solutions, all we were initially looking for was to develop a successful marketing program. Greg’s breadth of experience meant that we ended up not only focussed on marketing but also addressed issues in other parts of our business. Normally, if you bring in a marketing company, all you get is marketing- no matter where the problem is. His approach is to start at the heart of the business, so you are always aligned with your goals. Greg doesn’t skirt around the issues- he will tell you the truth, whether you want to hear it or not. I also appreciated his flexibility in how we worked together. I now feel that we are set up for the future.

Jeff Trembath, JNJ Electrics

The business coaching sessions by Dr Greg Chapman gave me great clarity for my future direction, and while addressing my business fundamentals , they were also very practical. His sessions were time friendly- flexible but structured and disciplined. They were very user friendly. I now know not only who I want to deal with, but also who I don’t want as a customer. Much of the knowledge he passed on to me, I am now able to pass on to my clients. I have been able to increase my rates and can now package my services to increase my income. I am now able to offer expanded services to my clients based now on a better understanding of their needs. I highly recommend Greg to anyone who wants to increase their business productivity and profit.

Gabrielle Jenkins, Onbalance Bookkeeping

I found Greg Chapman’s mentoring process invaluable. When we set up our Marketing, Operations and Administrations systems for our business according to Greg’s guidance, we found they worked extremely well and saved us lots of time. His advice on budgeting was immensely useful. While this was not a marketing program, I found this part of Greg’s mentoring highly innovative and learnt many new things about how we should approach our clients, the value of the services we provide, and about structuring our website. Even though the process is challenging, it is a must for any owner seeking to develop their business. 

Graeme Parsons, TfT Communications (Darwin)

Greg Chapman knows his business. Greg met with me for three hours to examine my long term, medium term and short term goals. He encouraged me to write them down and then proceeded to turn those goals into specifics and priorities. We worked on the areas that I have been avoiding and he gave me strategies to do something about them AND DEADLINES. The meeting was so powerful that I could not wait to attack those things that I had been procrastinating about. They had completely shifted in my mind. I would have no hesitation recommending this pleasant, powerful man to any small to medium business owner who wants to become empowered in their business.

What People are saying about our Courses & Seminars

We have been to many business seminars and workshops over the years and found that the information, whilst good, was generally not presented with a real understanding of small business and lacked the follow up and accountability that we needed to successfully implement the information.

At the business retreat we not only received excellent information, but also the opportunity to instantly see how it directly benefited our business. We gained invaluable feedback, assistance and accountability from Dr Greg Chapman and the other small business owners who, in this setting, became a very effective “Board of Directors”.

The ongoing communication and support services available to us after the workshop is unique and will have a major impact on our ability to achieve our goals for the future of our business.

Geoff & Sherryl-Lee Secomb – Geoff Secomb Music

The quality of the information was excellent.
The presenter was excellent, made sense and seemed knowledgeable and credible.

What I liked best was the informal atmosphere and the variety of businesses. Some good ideas were thrown around and the content of the workshop for me filled in the missing ingredient of all the e-myth, time management types. I have been trying to build a good pet shop (and falling short) instead I now see I need to work toward getting what I have working well but at the same time marketing. I believe I now have the tools to achieve both.

Kevin Hancock – Pets World, SA

Greg’s weekend retreat was essential for me to re-establish my direction and drive towards my business. I think any small to medium business owner that has ‘Plateaued’ should attend and come to a realisation of how their business could flourish and how much an asset they are to their business. Thanks Greg

Robert Ameer – Opulent Homes

The seminar was an eye opener to how I need to manage my business more efficiently instead of it running me. Great information. Necessary Brain Food for success.

Anthony Bortoli, BDC

The seminar was very thought provoking and made me question the way I run my business and makes me want to take the business to the next level.
