"As a business owner of seventeen years, I never comprehended how to really run a business. I hired Knut as my coach at a time in my business career when I was running out of steam, profitability was lagging, and it wasn’t fun anymore. My business philosophy at the time was: if there was enough money in the bank and I love what I’m doing, that was a successful business. Something was missing. It was my coach. I have been working with Knut for just two months and an incredible transformation has happened. I’m learning how to run my business. My business is not running me 24/7. I have found a new confidence in my ability to take ownership of my successes. In just 2 months, my average sales went up by 45%, my conversion rate increased from 46% to 62%, and my margin improved from 34% to 54%. Absolutely amazing. Knut is a tremendous value to any business and I highly recommend his services to anyone who really wants to understand how a business should operate successfully and with integrity."

"I owned my business for a little over two years before I started working with Knut. I took over a 26-year-old closet door company and had big dreams. I was turning over a lot in sales, worked long hours, but I was always in a cash flow crunch. Knut has helped me to understand where my profits come from, how to track my employees in a productive way, analyze my marketing, gave me the confidence to raise prices, and help me build a better relationship with my vendors and banker. I value working with Knut and I cannot imagine going back to running my business without a set of outside eyes, and I think Knut is a great coach to work with."

Owner of American Mirador in Campbell

"I have built my air-conditioning business over the last 12 years, starting out as a service tech and have been building it to having 3 crews running and a team in the office. At the time Knut approached me, I was so stressed that I could not even talk to him for months. His persistence and my frustration with the workload and my bottom-line finally lead to starting the coaching relationship. What I liked the most was the positive energy I received from Knut in our weekly session and the reassurance that my dream of a company that runs by itself is possible. Knut helped me analyze and understand my profit model and what key measurements are needed to grow healthy and profitable. He taught me about personality types and the importance of leadership and taking responsibility. I highly recommend to any business owner to at least listen to Knut for 1 hour and see if he can help you as much as he helped me."

Owner of Quality Heating and Air in San Jose

"Knut is my business coach. With Knut's guidance, I learned that I should schedule my days and business tasks so that I spend more time 'working on my business' and not 'in my business.' That little gem has made all the difference as I approach my business each day. Over the last 3 months since I started working with Knut, I have increased my Oral appliance part of the business by 400%. I highly recommend Knut as a Business Coach. He's dedicated to your success; energetic, honest, experienced, and reliable."

"I have been working now with Knut for 4 months now. One of my main challenges was the employee atmosphere in our medical office. A team day combined with some simple measures to direct the communication flow made all the difference for us. I was able to go on a two-week vacation without getting an emergency call. That was a first for me in a long time. Also, the focus and clarity gained during my sessions with Knut helped me to grow my business during that short time by 35%. I am looking forward to the next year to come and can only recommend to anybody to talk and meet with Knut."

"Dear Knut, I want to thank you for the opportunity to work with you, coaching me in my business. Your information and input was informative, practical, and helped me to better operate my business in many aspects that we addressed--such as marketing, sales approaches, pricing, economic tracking, and more. I would recommend your service to anyone looking to improve their business, both financially and operationally. Your input and energy have kept me motivated."

"Running a business can be a very isolating experience. Being involved in the Profit Club connected me with like-minded people who could talk "my language." The coaching I receive plus the support provided to me from fellow entrepeneuers has made my journey faster, more productive, and a whole lot more fun."

"I am a small business owner who just attended my first 90-Day Planning Workshop, with Action International, in hopes of getting some structure in building my company. How great it was to learn the ’meat and potatoes’ of setting specific goals, having weekly agendas, and understanding the keys of working towards me working "on" my business, not "in" it 100% of the time. Thanks to Knut Schroeder of Action International, I have learned how to truly make use of my time and I am seeing results! I am excited and wish I would have known about this years ago."
