Here is what The Coach's Clients have to say!

People ask what gives me the authority to give advice. I say, First of all, I don’t give advice. Dr. Phil gives advice. Mr. T helps people. I motivate them, I inspire them, I give them hope, and I plant the seed so they can feel good about themselves. - Mr. T

Much the same can be said for Chris Ruisi, The Coach. Chris stepped in to my business life at a critical juncture, then motivated and inspired me to apply myself to my business in a consistent, persistent and systematic way, giving me new perspectives and helping me create a plan to successfully achieve my business goals and move in new directions. The takeaway has been fantastic and the lessons learned through Chris’ coaching will be life lasting. - Christine Burke – President, Christine Burke Associates, Red Bank, NJ

We started working with Chris Ruisi as our coach in mid October of 2002. Our sales from that point in time until the end of the year were up more than 25% compared to the same timeframe in 2001. During 2003 our sales were up more than 20% from using the techniques and strategies he taught us. Our goals are more focused now and we have identified ways to increase our profits. It’s been a year since we stopped working with you and by continuing to implement everything you taught us we had a very successful January (2004).

I just wanted to take this time to reflect on all the good you have brought our way so far in the short time we have spent together. I'm very excited with all you're bringing to the table. If there is anything that we have benefited from so far, is the fact that you've gotten us (the partners) to communicate with one another. I know you're still in the molding stage with us but I've got good feelings from this so far and I'm really excited for the new year when we will starting taking shape and resemble a business that looks like it knows what it's doing. - Jack Miller, Partner – IV Miller/Final Cut – Ocean, NJ

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your time and dedication to me as my business coach. Because of your help and the systems we developed, I now have more time to enjoy the things that are important to me and I have more balance in my life.

I would recommend you to anyone looking to grow their business. - Robert Smith, President & CEO – eIS Business Solutions – Red Bank, NJ

The absolute, number one best thing that I did for my business and myself is hire Chris Ruisi as my coach. Chris helped me establish a vision and a plan for my fence company. With the tools and "coaching" I received from Chris, he helped me turn a successful job into a successful company. For the first time, I am excited and confident about the future of my business. Thus far in 2004 the revenues for my company are up almost 48% over last year. - Martha Dwyer, Owner - Fortress Fence Inc. – Manasquan, NJ

Before meeting Chris I was investing lots of time and money building my business, but I was completely frustrated because I wasn’t getting the results I was looking for. Chris showed me some simple approaches that focus on the “right” kind of effort. I applied these new disciplines, and in six weeks, I was back on track. And with Chris’ help, I’m looking forward to even greater success. - Andy Oeftering, Owner – Computer Troubleshooters – Keyport, NJ
