TES/BAI Align Again to Award Another Co-Branded Region

Southbury, CT - 3/5/2007 - In a continuing effort to offer a one-stop/one source center for entrepreneurs, The Entrepreneur's Source® (TES) and Business Adviser's InternationalSM (BAI) have awarded another co-branded region, this time expanding services in Virginia. As market leaders in the coaching and consulting industry, this alliance offers a complementary blend of career coaching services from TES and business consulting services from BAI.

"The market is ripe for coaching and consulting services that offer support in both identifying the right business opportunity and then partnering with the business owner to ensure it's success," says Terry Powell, CEO of TES and BAI.

According to a Business Industry Consulting report dated November 2006, TES/BAI dominates the market with a 33% share of the coaching and consulting industry market.

Mike Byrne, TES coach and now BAI AdviCoach in the Virginia market states, "As a TES coach initially, I saw the need to provide continuing assistance to start-up companies wanting to ramp up quick and produce results. There are many threats to small and midsize companies, and with the BAI AdviCoach SM Advantage system, we are extensively trained to help manage these threats and turn them into profits for our clients," he added.

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2005 research shows that, across all sectors, 45% percent of new independent business failures happen within 2 years of opening. Business coaching is a new emerging paradigm that combines the expertise of consultants with the efficiency of a team providing solutions. According to a Right Management Consultants survey, about 47% of organizations surveyed see coaching as essential to their decision-making.
