Hi everyone. My name is Parag and I am a business coach and consultant, as well as an experienced speaker.
I delivered seminars, planning days, team training days and sales workshops to over 450 businesses in conjunction with organisations such as Clydesdale Bank, Peninsula Business Services, Greater London Enterprise and the Telegraph Business Club.
I accumulated 14 years of broad business experience across Sales, Finance and Team Leadership, in the Telecoms, Media and IT industries in the UK, Dubai and Australia.
I coached 43 SME’s in South East London, the Docklands and Greenwich to increase sales and profitability and reclaim time.
In my spare time, I enjoy captaining and coaching my local cricket club and spending time with family and friends.

Read below what people I worked with say about me and see the results we achieved together:
Parag knows what he’s doing. The benefits so far to the Business have been remarkable. Some coaches just guide- this guy takes you by the scruff of the neck and leads you down the most profitable route.
Thank you Parag. I couldn’t do this without you. When I need ideas, guidance or inspiration, you are the person I turn to. If it wasn’t for you pushing me forward, my attention would be scattered instead of focused on getting this business off the ground.
Turnover has grown +100% since I met you 6 months ago.

We value Parag’s contribution as an important part of fulfilling our ambitious goals and bold Vision. Parag’s business mentoring has helped me identify many areas that we were instantly able to improve with measurable results. I am a strong believer that every business should have a coach and for Capsule01, having Parag is proving to be very rewarding.

I’ve benefited from putting more structure/planning into my day. I feel more in control of the Business. I really like the ethos of ActionCOACH, creating great quality of life, establishing a profitable business, which is possible by planning and acting smart whilst being generous to staff and clients.
We’re out of our overdraft for the first time in 3.5 yrs.
Denise, Director, Orhan London Tailoring www.orhanlondontailoring.com
Parag was recommended by another local company. They had proven benefits due to Parag’s input. I have found Parag a breath of fresh air. Any issue I have within the organisation -Parag has helped me find a path forward. He never leaves without ensuring you have a list of tasks that you will complete between visits. He helped me to increase the proportion of my time spent working “on” the business not in it. Great advice.
Revenues increased by £544k (21%) in 12 months to June 2011
Average sale value per order increased by 57% in first 15 months of coaching
Coaching is transforming the way in which we manage our Business. Parag has helped us focus on the important strategic issues and as a result the Business is developing very impressively. We are now much more disciplined about taking time to work on the business. Parag has a wealth of knowledge and with his help we are making use of his ideas in ways which relate directly to the challenges we face. You probably dont realise how much of a testament it is to yourself that I feel able to trust you completely to guide my businesses and to work with my employees. I have never allowed anyone to exert such an influence since I started trading. I very much appreciate the efforts you make on my behalf.

David Waugh, Managing Director, Wauton Samuel www.wautonsamuel.co.uk
I’m pleased to confirm that all my goals have been achieved and we’re back on track with sales on the increase.
We’ve implemented many changes in our sales strategy, avoiding price-matching or discounting. We focussed on a list of Unique Selling Points and shouting about them. This had an immediate impact, now being one of our most powerful selling tools!
One goal to have a regular time when I plan the following week has proved to be one of the most effective ways of managing my time, giving me a sense of control and achievement.
Parag also helped me realise that you are only as good as your team and investing time in your staff has to be one of the most important ways of achieving any goals.

Using Parag’s services has been one of the best investments of time and money I have made for the past 8 years and I now feel a lot more in control and a much better leader and manager than ever before.

Parag will show you immediate savings and ways to generate extra cash from the FIRST session, so you will repay the investment very quickly. A results orientated coach.
John Limpus, Owner, Urban Vitality Company www.urbanvitality.com
After employing ActionCOACH and Parag, we now have the tools, knowledge and help to dictate the direction of the business and take back control. Parag is an excellent listener, taking time to understand our needs and challenges, then offering brilliant, practical advice to improve our business health.
I have no hesitation in recommending Parag to other businesses.
David Lee, Director, SE3 Productions www.se3productions.co.uk
Working with Parag has put a rocket up my business! We’ve changed dramatically in culture, processes and are well on the way to some phenomenal results. At a recent Coaching Awards ceremony, attended by dozens of coaches, Parag’s clients dominated most sector’s nominations and awards. I’m definitely with the right coach! Strongly recommend.

Parag truly helped me realise where my business potential lied. His very clear and structured approach made me focus on the effective ways to grow the company, whilst his patience and generosity kept me going on the difficult path of self belief.
