“I would highly recommend Ron Robinson for anyone looking to grow and expand their business! Ron brought a better understanding of focus and organization that I’ve never used before in my 9 years as a business owner. He was patient and understanding and highly involved in my growth and success. For any business owner either brand new or seasoned reach out to Ron and let him help you grow your focus and in turn grow your success!! Thank you Ron for the many years of friendship and help in my business!”

Hey Coach Ron!

I think for me personally it was the challenge of moving to a new area. Not knowing anyone made me must get out of my comfort zone and actually market myself in the community. I never had to do that with Farm Bureau.  Also the culture and people on our team helped to elevate me to ask more of myself and my team. 

William Styles, Insurance Broker, Country Financial

"One of Ron's strengths is his never-ending optimism.  He showed me that in the midst of the challenges we faced this year, there were opportunities to grow the business.  Then he helped me identify those opportunities and develop strategies to go after them.  Any business seeking growth should contact Ron today (don't wait for tomorrow)!

His book helped us identify some issues we were having inside our organization, and gave us the tools to improve and correct them. Our 1-on-1 sessions each week were key to developing a system that set us up for success and growth moving forward. Thank you for everything, Coach!”  Jared Dunn, The Dunn Agency, Country Financial

“Ron,

Thank you again for speaking this morning.  You did a great job as usual and the content was relevant to the attendees and today’s business environment.

I noticed the attendees were engaged in what you were saying and not looking at their phones.  I have good news for you… you have 5 businesses that would like you to contact them for additional information.  We rescued the sheets from the tables and saved the ones that had contact information on them.  This would be a great story and testimonial if you got business from the following names listed below.
