Graeme has been a top achieving business coach, ranking in the Top 100 out of 1287 coaches that make up ActionCOACH international. He coached three winning businesses in the ActionCOACH National Business Awards 2008, and was a finalist in the Asia Pacific Region, Client Results Award in 2009.

He holds degrees in Civil Engineering and in Theology, has completed post-graduate courses in leadership, has taught at tertiary level and directed several companies.

In the last five years, as a business coach, he has worked with over 50 businesses (including: retail, construction, distribution, importing, manufacturing, financial services, information technology, business services, legal, consulting, landscaping, fashion, design, health care, promotion), as a “hands-on” business coach.

Graeme understands the huge value of systematic lead generating strategies.

“It’s the life blood of any successful commercial endeavour. What’s more, given that the fastest growing method of client – business contact is the internet, it makes sense to rank highly in relevant searches. Yet most SME businesses owners simply don’t have the time or the ability to keep their web presence at the top of web searches.”

It was to ensure great web based lead generation strategies that Graeme joined Paul Therond to found 4Front eMarketing.
