Rick Chisholm made history when he single-handedly changed the professional AV industry by breaking all the rules and capitalised over 50% market share with very little capital, no partners, mergers or lenders and set up the first franchise operation of its kind in the world in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Rick is an honours-graduate Engineer with business qualifications, a speaker, black belt martial arts instructor, previous dirt bike national champion and above all a successful entrepreneur having started and run a number of businesses in different industries that were subsequently sold at a substantial profit. Results-driven selling and coaching is Rick’s forte.
For 30 years, Rick Chisholm has been involved and actively consulting on most areas of business, marketing, sales and management. He has a wealth of knowledge on everything from corporate structure, recruitment and effective management, organisational systems, marketing and sales strategy as well as cost management, expansion through franchising and leveraging, joint ventures, strategic relationships through to IP protection. He is also well connected with some of the best marketing and business experts in the world and was recently awarded a doctorate opportunity on “The Effectiveness of Executive Coaching”. An accomplished and fluent communicator with well-developed managerial, problem-solving and decision-making skills, combined with a pragmatic approach and sound business acumen, Rick will help you develop and plan the action steps to get you where you want to be.
Rick has had over 30 years of hands-on experience in a number of franchise and licensing systems that he has started and continues to operate under management. He knows the importance of employing and nurturing the right people and to this end Rick can assist you with staff interaction, interviewing and selection, and can teach you methods to maximise staff performance. Rick’s ideas on how to master a “Point of Difference” and unique value proposition can be applied to all industries and businesses. With a fresh set of eyes you will be inspired to be the best you can be, in the same way that the greatest Olympic coaches do with gold medal winners – building on positives with a no-nonsense approach, thus minimising negatives.
Rick draws upon the attributes from his successful sporting career and vast experience in business disciplines to help you build your business into a thriving success. Together with 10x tools, Rick will help you elevate your business into the success stratosphere, allowing you to optimise your resources far beyond your expectations. “I know what it’s like to be in business, at it’s best and absolute worst. Most businesses fail because they don’t have systems and measurable KPI’s. You cannot fix what you can’t measure. When you take on 10x IP and my tools, strategies and coaching you’ll be empowered to take your team and business to a level of excitement and success that previously you thought unattainable”.
