- International Business Awards Recognizes ActionCOACH for Outstanding Results

ActionCOACH has been named a Finalist for this year's People's Choice Stevie Award for Favorite Companies in the Business Services category, another honor in a year that has been filled with them for the world's largest business coaching company.

ActionCOACH was recently named Company of the Year in the "Business Services" category at the 2011 American Business Awards and has also won a number of creative awards this year.

In addition, recent studies have shown that businesses that are coached by an ActionCOACH Business Coach enjoy a return of $7.50 for every dollar spent and 74 percent of ActionCOACH coached businesses increased sales over the last year compared to only 43% of non-coached businesses. Every week, 15,000 businesses around the world are coached by an ActionCOACH Business Coach.

"Because our coaches do so much good work within their respective communities around the world, I'm not surprised we've been named a Finalist in the 'People's Choice' Awards," ActionCOACH CEO of USA and Canada Jodie Shaw said. "Thanks to our systems and coaches we have outstanding results with our clients, so we are looking forward to seeing the results of the voting for this award."
