ActionCOACH Business Coach David Drewelow knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the recession. He’s managed to coach Marion Mixers’ president, Doug Grunder, through the recession, and instead of downsizing the company, Grunder managed to stay afloat without having to lay off any employees. Instead, Drewelow managed to help Grunder turn the recession into an advantage for his company.
Marion Mixers manufactures horizontal mixing and blending equipment, supplying equipment in the food, plastic, chemicals, minerals and recycling industries.
Grunder bought into Marion Mixers in 1995 with several other investors. About a year ago, those investor agreed the best long-term strategy in the down economy was to reinvest any revenue back into the company. But after attending Drewelow’s ProfitCLUB, Grunder decided to work one-on-one with a business coach to get the information he needed specific to his business.
Drewelow broke that one-year plan into 90-day increments for Grunder, and in addition to dealing with day-to-day issues, together they work out what needs to be done on the plan over the next two weeks and what tools Grunder may need to assist him.
