Business coaching client in the news: TIME Unlimited Tours

November 5, 2014 by Zac de Silva Leave a Comment

TIME Unlimited Tours are a great client of mine – a husband and wife duo offering tourism tours, including walking tours, Maori culture tours and luxury tours. Because their business relies on tourists – many of whom only visit NZ once – their reputation is very very important. Giving customers an experience that they’ll rave about to their friends (and the world) is what gets them new business – and reviews are one key component of that.

Read this article from the NZ Herald today in which Ceillhe and Neill talk about business reviews – the good, the bad and the occasional keyboard warrior.

TIME Unlimited have also made the top 10 in the 2015 GreenTec Awards – Europe’s largest environmental and business prize, recognising worldwide environmental & ecotourism. So proud of you guys!

How do you go about getting feedback and reviews from your customers? Is it something you shy away from? Something you’re scared about? Or you simply just don’t know where to start? Get on to it – it’s so valuable to your business. Not only does it give you customer insight, trend reports and an idea about what sort of experience you’re providing, it also helps get word of mouth churning (sometimes it takes people to write a review to realise just how much they did enjoy themselves) and spurns on repeat or new business.

"Great two-day workshop that gives you a chance to reflect on your business, and focus on key points that need to be addressed to maximize your effectiveness and outcomes. The workshop was both entertaining and informative and really helped us to think about how we might navigate Covid / post-Covid, and plan out our next few years to guide the direction of the business. Food and hospitality was also great. Highly recommended!"
Nelson Raynor, Isle of Eden
"Transformational… Revolutionary… Awesome… Take your pick! Our business looks nothing like it did just three months ago – our brand is visible in the market, there’s a buzz about what we are doing, doors are opening and our heads are in the game. Business Changing changes business for the better… I’m very very thankful we met – my only regret is that we didn’t seek you out sooner!"

"Zac has given myself and the business a real sense of clarity, and a better sense of day-to-day achievement for myself and the team. Zac’s ability to ask questions that are relative and beneficial have helped me grow the business and my self-awareness and create a more enjoyable workplace. Give Zac an inch and he’ll take you a mile!”

"The business planning workshop run by Zac is a great opportunity to challenge existing thinking in your business and take results to the next level. The workshop was well thought out and provided a structured environment to channel ideas and ambitions. Zac has the perfect presenting style allowing for plenty of interaction amongst your team and networking with other business from a variety of backgrounds. Highly recommended"

"Zac’s business workshop totally exceeded my expectations. The two days are well planned out to ensure your thought process takes you through the various stages needed to question why you are in business, where your business currently is at and where you want your business to be. Provoking questions, explanations, stories, presentations from successful entrepreneurs and of course Zac’s personal attention ensure you walk away with a clear and dynamic business plan. The venue was perfect, the lunch and refreshments sublime."
Rachel Kann, IQ Property Management
"Zac has also become a key enabler and contributor to us working towards the development of both our employee engagement and customer experience roadmaps. Kotahi is a new and fast-paced environment and it has been great to have Zac as a trusted advisor to both myself and the CEO. He has a no-nonsense and solid experience-based approach to his consulting style. I have enjoyed working with Zac and look forward to continuing on our engagement journey with the support of Business Changing”
