I have taken Karies Manager Training Workshop twice and have come away with great, actionable new methods and ideas each time. Karie and her team give A+ service and realistic business advice current with todays landscape. Great not just for business owners but for their teams too!
I reached out to Karie at the end of 2017 for weekly coaching because I was at a breaking point due to my business’s operational and financial performance, which was unsustainable. I knew the company had a ton of potential because of our technical expertise, but our results were consistently disappointing and I needed help turning things around. We initially focused on leadership, managing critical metrics and upgrading the team. Nearly every aspect of the business has improved with Karie’s guidance and our current focus is coaching our management team through strategic planning sessions. This has paid massive dividends as we now have a management team that is involved in helping shape the future of the company on top of managing the day-to-day. The business has turned around (annual revenue has doubled and net profit is above industry average) which means we have happy customers, engaged A-Team employees and capital to grow.
I started working with Karie as I was preparing to take over the family business from my father. I had worked in the business for 20 years, but it was a huge shift for me to become the CEO. Karie has helped us navigate the transitions, and not just maintain what my parents had built, but really take it to the next level. We’ve already accomplished so much, and I’m excited to be building a legacy for the next generation.
I could not be more thankful to have found Karie. She has transformed my business in every way imaginable. Since working with Karie (1.5 years), our revenue has increased 150% and weve gone from 3 employees to 15. Karie provides guidance to businesses but also teaches you how to make decisions for YOUR business.Before working with Karie, my head was in the sand and I was not leading my team. Today, I am proud to say that I feel like the visionary and leader that my company needed. Not only has she taught me to be a leader but she works with and trains my management team to take their skills to the next level. After a session with Karie, you are always inspired to take on anything the world brings you.Karie is an investment I will never regret.
Coach Karies Growth Club sessions have taught me how to take an idea and follow through with it. She teaches from simplicity and experience which has been super helpful for creating an purposeful plan of action. Shes kind, wise and knows whats best.Thanks Karie, I appreciate you.Kendra Solow
Karie is amazing. She is straight-forward, provides honest feedback and advice, asks great questions, holds me accountable, and is awesome. She is always ON - she gives you her full attention on every single call. Her other clients are also great and she has created a wonderful community among us, and we all rely on each other to make introductions to strategic alliances and we also serve each other.Since working with her, we’ve added 8 employees and 15x’d our revenue, and I believe we will continue to grow. The opportunities to do so are endless, and I have the staff to help me follow the opportunities and leads where we need to go. I am so appreciative for Karie and all she has done for me.
On June 30th I did another Growth Club with Karie Isaacs Kaufmann and it was so inspiring, Ive had my head down for months trying to figure out how to keep the business afloat, and it was so great to lift my head up and spend a morning virtually connecting with other business owners and planning for success for the next quarter!It might not seem like the best time to invest, but if anyone is struggling with a business I highly recommend Karie, she helped me get my business to the point that I had savings when the pandemic hit, and now after Growth Club, Im feeling positive we can ride the year out and be ready for events in 2021.
Career and Life-Changing!Working with Karie is the best investment Ive ever made in my business. Even after earning a MBA from the Rady School at UC San Diego and 6 years of working hard to build my firm, she was able to absolutely revolutionize the way I run my company.Not only are revenues up 60%, my stress level and total work hours are down at least 50%. We immediately saw results on our bottom line within a month or two of working together. A year later, my whole world is different (in a good way!).Ive learned to create the processes to run the business efficiently and to get the right people in the right roles. Weve cleaned up the systems and prepared the business for a potential sale!I couldnt be happier with the work Ive done with Karie and her team. My only regret is that I was referred to her a full year prior to working with her, and I dont know why I waited so long. Highly recommended, worth every penny and more!
Karie was an incredible speaker at our executive level event. Her passion for improving businesses and the techniques she recommended gave all of our attendees tactics that they could immediately implement in their business. I would not hesitate to recommend Karie as a speaker for any business and entrepreneurial event.
I attended Karies Strategic Planning Day in February bring 3 other managers from my Company (Best Rate Repair & Termite) . I was a great eye opener for us as managers and owners. we are still meeting weekly to make improvements that we learn that day. I highly recommend you talk with Karie if you have the desire to take your business to the next level!
I co-own a small business in North County and although we were successful at what we did, I always knew our business was capable of doing so much more! In just 4 months, Karie has helped transform my way of thinking and I see my business which such fresh eyes. Im definitely not the same business owner as I was before working with her and I owe it all to the guidance of Karie. My business has already shown improvement in such a short amount of time, and we owe it all to her! Thank you Karie!!
Karrie is AMAZING at what she does. I own a business and while we were growing I was not having enough time in my days to get everything done and was losing control.I went to one of her workshops on planing and growth, and have been implementing what she showed me and not only are we growing faster than ever... but I also have more time for myself and for working ON my business instead of IN my business.Thanks Karrie!!!
Ive worked with Karie for about a year and a half and she is great. There is never a problem that she doesnt have an outside-the-box solution for which is always nice to have. Not only that, but her proactive planning and goal setting workshops are worth every penny of the investment. We will continue to work with her in the future.
Our business has grown 17-20% year over year, since we started working with Karie in 2012. When we started, my husband was working round the clock, doing everything on his own, and I came on board to try to support him. Now, we’re able to take consistent vacations, because we have systems in place and a team to take over while we’re gone. Most importantly, the business is living up to our #1 core value: FUN!
I cannot begin to say enough amazing things about Karie! Since hiring her as our business coach our business has nearly doubled our monthly gross income, we became incorporated, hired on two additional FULL time team members and are moving out of our home office into an office space. At first I was a bit hesitant to invest in something like coaching, but then I realized that EVERY successful person wether an athlete, business owner, community leader, etc. has a coach/ mentor in their life that can help lead and guide them to make better decisions! I highly recommend Coach Karie to anyone in business looking to grow beyond themselves and take their business to the next level, but just isnt quite sure how to get there. You wont regret it!
Thank you, Karie! My business has never been better. In fact, I have never been as enamored with the intricacies of business and the theories of what makes a business successful as I am now. You illuminate so much to me: and so when I look back on how I used to operate my company -- even though I was very profitable -- it seems almost primitive! What I have learned so far about systems, and not just learned but pushed to implement, has made a huge difference. I feel like I can breathe again, and just rely on the systems that you helped craft specially for my company. Most importantly, not being overrun by my business, allowing it to run on its own, consequently affording me more time to work on (not in) my business has made me a lot of money! And thats really the bottom line! Money well spent with Karie Kaufmann!
I attended one of Karies seminars on marketing. I loved the content, her presentation, and her style. She delivered valuable and actionable steps that could be implemented right away. In fact, I just did one of my action steps after leaving the seminar. Thank you, Karie for providing information of great value!
It was easy to decide to work with Karie once I realized her success rate with clients and also how she was successful in her own right. After working with Karie for only three months, we increased and then reached our year end revenue goal one month ahead of schedule and went on to surpass it. For the first 5 months of this year weve already done as much business as we did for the entirety of last year. This is a yearly revenue increased of 240%! Although Im extremely happy and excited about the incredible revenue increase, Karie helps me feel in control of my business instead of going along for the ride and this is a priceless feeling.
Karie, gave great strategies for the Construction Industry today on a Knowify Webinar. I would highly suggest her professional services.
We are a few months into working with Karie on our family business and we are so glad we met her! We are excited to continue our working relationship with her as our business coach!
Ive attended a number of Karies workshops as well as one of her quarterly goal planning seminars. Each time Ive attended Ive learned something new. I also know a few people who are clients of hers and they cannot rave about her enough. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to grow their business!
In our first year working with Karie, our business grew by 28%. She has since helped us hire to hire 2 new team members, enabling us to get to new levels of growth. Last year, we increased our revenue by another 41% - while taking off more time than ever before!
