    "Working with Dan has been amazingly beneficial. He’s given me the habits I needed - and the clarity he’s provided is priceless. One of the biggest shifts has been around finances. I now review figures with confidence, catch issues early, and make decisions based on facts instead of gut feel."

    Keeping you on track

    I have worked with Dan consitently for the past 6 months, his strategy and reinforcement has been a real help to my business. As a solo insurance broker advising company directors on protection, it can be tough to stay motivated but dan has kept me on track and picked me up and given me a kick when I have needed it. His compassion and professionalism has been well up there with my own standards of care. Thanks dan here’s to a great 2026

    Well what can I say about Dan!! An absolute super star and I thoroughly enjoy working with him. As a business owner having a coach is truly needed to point you in the right direction and keep you on track. The way Dan supports and advises is second to none. He is honest, respectful and really knowledgable. I have had many business coaches over the years but Dan is by far the best. If you are considering using Dan’s services then consider no more and dive right in. You will not be disappointed.

    Dan is helping me with my business and I forget to say how good he is to me. I guess when we are so busy wrapped up in our own business, we often forget those that are giving you the very best advice. Dan is what you need in a business, he is passionate, highly motivated and completely versed in building your business. Well done Dan and I am so lucky to have you working with me.

    Getting a clear plan

    Dan has been superb in supporting us as we grow as a company. The guidance, accountability and clear direction have made a real difference, especially through a solid 90-day plan that gave us focus and structure. Having a clear business strategy has helped us understand what to prioritise, where to improve and how to move forward with confidence. I would highly recommend them to any business owner looking for practical support, honest advice and a clear plan for growth. If your looking for a business coach he is your man!

    We’re currently working with Dan as part of his 90 Day Plan, and it’s already having a big impact. The initial session gave us real clarity on our goals, numbers, and what we need to focus on. Dan brings a great mix of strategy, honesty, and support, he really gets under the skin of your business and keeps you moving forward. Even halfway through, we’re feeling more focused, confident, and in control. If you want real structure, accountability, and results, we’d highly recommend working with Dan.

    Really impressed with Dan. He took the time to understand what was happening in my business and helped me brainstorm an issue that had been tying me in knots. By asking smart questions, he helped me untangle the mess in my head and quickly zoned in on what was working (and what wasn’t). He wrapped it up with a brilliantly clear takeaway: "Do more of X, it’s working, you just need more volume." I highly recommend working with Dan!

    I attended a Business planning session with Dan, and really enjoyed it. In particular, Dan is very practical in his approach and gives step by step advice on things to do to consider for your business planning rather than come away and think what am I going to do now? I’ve already used one of the tools he shared as part of my 25/26 planning. Dan is a genuine and personable guy! Recommend !

    Workshops and talks

    I had the pleasure of attending one of Dan Sagar’s workshops at The Old Bone Store in Southampton (such a fantastic venue!). The session was incredibly insightful, and I left with actionable ideas that I’m already putting into practice in my business. Dan has been an invaluable resource, always available to bounce ideas off and offering great advice as a sounding board for some important business decisions I’ve made. If you’re looking to scale up your business and make an impact in your industry, Dan Sagar is the person you need. Highly recommended!

    I’ve now attended a couple of Dan’s business growth sessions and each one has given me so much clarity. Dan shares practical strategies that you can actually implement in your business straight away, rather than just theory. I always leave feeling motivated, inspired and with a list of actions to take. Highly recommend if you’re serious about growing your business.

    Dan Sagar’s workshop, 'Beat the Competition: How to Make YOUR Business the Obvious Choice,' was a game-changer for me. Dan’s quietly spoken yet profoundly insightful approach made the complex strategies accessible and actionable. His expertise in turning entrepreneurial challenges into opportunities is unparalleled. The workshop provided clear, practical steps that has the potential to transform any business’s competitive edge. I highly recommend Dan Sagar to any entrepreneur looking to elevate their business and become the obvious choice in their market.

    I recently attended a training event that Dan was running to help business owners develop and grow their businesses. The event was well planned and presented, the information Dan shared will be really helpful and it is clear Dan is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. If you’re looking for a business coach then I can’t recommend Dan highly enough

    Daniel helped me out with some valuable experience based advice on using the 'Loom' video app which was very valuable and provided without hesitation or obligation. I attach high value to people who offer friendly and constructive 'helping hands' so would recommend reaching out to Daniel if you need business advice.

    I have met Daniel at various Networking Events in and around Hampshire and Dorset. I have always seen him as a very competent and likeable person who has a natural instinct for identifying Business Opportunities for himself and those he works with. I qualified as a FCMI Business Mentor a very LONG time ago and would be happy to pass on my business contacts and referrals to Daniel, now I spend more time with my camera!
