ActionCOACH Small Business Week #ACsbw

October 15 - 21

ActionCOACH has been a pioneer in Business Coaching for the last 3 decades. Let's share some love with Small Businesses this year by nominating companies in your local area.

These businesses can be companies that you are currently coaching, have coached in the past, or simply amazing companies that deserve a spot to shine this #ACsbw.

First, let's get YOUR details:

Step 1: Small Business Nomination

Step 2: Video Testimonial / Reel

In 2023 it is all about quick engaging video content. Create a captivating reel video or simple video to highlight in our stories with the business you nominate.

You could ask the Business Owner to create the REEL, or they can give you some video footage/b-roll to include in your REEL.

We could also download one of the REELs the nominated company already has and repost it.
