I have been able to achieve great results in a very short time. My Brainiact business coach really holds you accountable and that is what I need. They have motivated me to look outside the square and that has really opened up a lot of opportunities for me. Thanks, Brainiact I really like working with you!

I signed up with Brainiact a little over 2 months ago for the development of my Architectural business.

Brainiact are amazing business coaches whose advice and support are not only helping me take my business to the next level but gain the confidence in myself and my business to do so. Being the sole director of my firm, it’s great to have access to my business coach 24/7 as someone to share ideas with, get advice or even have a supportive chat with.

I look forward to continuing working with Brainiact and am excited about where they will help me and my business grow and succeed.

We are extremely happy with our decision to bring Brainiact on to help grow our business. From day one, they have provided us with practical advice on winning new commercial work – and their methods work! They are always available to chat and are an excellent sounding board whenever we have any issues we are not sure how to tackle.

We signed up with Brainiact about a month ago and I can honestly say it was the best decision we’ve ever made.

Brainiact has provided us with an incredible business coach, whose great advice is helping us take our business to the next level. We’ve been able to identify some areas that need to be improved. Their great advice is helping us achieve our business goals but most importantly to have a business owner mindset.

Thank you, Brainiact.

I did Brainiact’s coaching earlier this year and it was the best investment I have ever made. Not only was my coach a highly skilled and experienced business coach, but they were also a genuine person who I really bonded with on a personal level. They helped me transform my business from a struggling, overworked sole trader – to a company with direction, purpose and most importantly a plan. With Brainiact’s guidance, I was able to map out a clear path to growth and diversification. I would hands down recommend Brainiact to anyone in business who wants to get to the next level but just isn’t sure how. A million thanks from a very happy customer and friend!

Brainiact provided me with strategies to help my business that could be implemented straight away. When we first got started, only a few months ago, I was overworked and stuck in my business. After crunching numbers and finding a strategy, I now don’t work “in” the business at all, but rather 100% “on” the business. This has allowed me to earn more money, get my health back in order, and spend more time with my daughter. Thank you, Brainiact!

What a great business decision it was to team up with Brainiact in March 2022.

Brainiact genuinely wants to see our business grow just as much as we do and offers support 24/7. No matter the time or day, contacting my Brainiact business coach always feels comfortable. They are friendly, professional and have a wealth of knowledge and have been a valuable part of our business growth.

Brainiact has been guiding and supporting us every step of the way and we are seeing positive changes already.

Highly recommend! Thanks, Brainiact.

A MUST FOR COMPANIES IN HARDSHIP.

I engaged with Brainiact 2 months ago. What can I say, the entire process from introduction to business coaching has been phenomenal.

My Brainiact business coach not only has extensive knowledge in business and sales, but their ability to dissect issues and effectively rectify them is also something I can 100% vouch for. Brainiact has helped me increase my sales and given me the knowledge to improve my sales skills, managing staff and given me a different perspective on business as a whole. A great company that will go the extra mile to ensure you are getting everything out of the process. Brainiact has been a diamond in the rough and engaging with them has been the best investment for my business. Worth its weight and gold!

Signing up with Brainiact was the best business decision I’ve made. For a first-time business owner, it is very easy to become overwhelmed, stuck or just not know what your next step should be!

I signed up with Brainiact when I was just starting the business, still working full-time for an employer and had a plan to be self-employed with no strategy on how to get there. My Brainiact business coach listened to my goals and then quickly put in place a plan to achieve them. Fast-tracking my business to a point that I can be self-employed!

If you are a business owner, regardless of how long you have been in business. I urge you to talk with Brainiact and get them on board. They provide outstanding service from the very first day and their knowledge will help your business thrive and grow.

We’re so happy with Brainiact. Our Brainiact business coach is a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable person who will put you on the right track and help you grow your business while holding you accountable for your actions.

Highly recommended for business owners who want to take their business to the next level.
