Sales & Marketing
Stop Working Harder. Start Growing Smarter.
Running a business should not mean constantly firefighting, worrying about cash flow, or feeling unsure where the next stage of growth will come from. Yet for many business owners and directors, growth feels unpredictable, margins are under pressure, and time is increasingly scarce.
If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re focusing on the right priorities, or felt that working harder is no longer the answer, you’re not alone.
What You'll Learn:
This practical and engaging workshop introduces a proven framework to help you identify where growth is truly coming from and where it’s being lost.
Rather than chasing more customers or adding complexity, you’ll learn how to optimise the five critical drivers of profit in every business.
During the session, you will discover how to:
- Generate more of the right leads without increasing marketing spend
- Convert more enquiries into paying customers
- Increase the value and frequency of customer purchases

- Create sustainable growth without adding unnecessary complexity
You’ll leave with clear priorities, practical actions you can implement immediately, and a strong understanding of the levers that will have the biggest impact on your business.

Matt Mullins | Business Coach | ActionCOACH
Matt Mullins knows what it takes to build a business that truly scales.
Many business owners don’t set out to work harder than everyone else for less reward, yet that’s exactly where they end up: talented, committed, and trapped inside the business they built.
Matt works with business owners who are ready to change that.
As part of ActionCOACH, the world’s number one business coaching organisation, Matt supports founders and leaders to move beyond firefighting and build structured, scalable businesses that deliver real results:
more cash, stronger teams, better systems, and sustainable growth.
His approach is practical, direct, and results-focused. He helps business owners:
- Identify unseen gaps holding back growth
- Strengthen systems and processes
- Build businesses that don’t rely entirely on the owner
Since joining ActionCOACH in 2019, Matt has helped businesses across the region gain control of their finances, develop leadership capability, and create the foundations for long-term success.
Because the businesses that scale aren’t the ones with the best ideas, they’re the ones with the best structure, the clearest strategy, and the right guidance.
