Connor Marriott’s Unorthodox Methods are Quickly Making Him One of Australia's Most Sought After Business Coaches



What’s the difference these days between a business that fails and a business that thrives? Well, that’s simple enough. The business that thrives has taken the correct steps in order to thrive.

But, the real question is, how did they know what to do? Evidence shows time and time again that successful entrepreneurs become successful by following the steps of those who have successfully walked the path before them. This is where Business Coaching comes into play.

Instinct Education produces industry leading results, but it’s their unorthodox approach to business growth that’s leaving competitors scratching their heads.

Instinct’s CEO and Founder, Connor Marriott, has a notoriously unique way of delivering information and breaking down complex ideas into simplistic terms.

You may have seen Marriott’s ads here and there during your online browsing, but other than that, he seems to keep quite a low profile. And, after some digging, we found that this is entirely intentional.

In a recent video posted to his YouTube Channel, Connor shared his views on promotion: 

People should buy a product because they like the product, not because they like the person promoting the product.” 

Most people spend all their time promoting their business, while spending no time improving the thing they’re trying to promote. Those that spend their time promoting aren’t building, and those that are building are rarely promoting.”

Instinct’s Marketing Director, Hayden Harrison, backs this up with his take on the company's marketing approach.

Rather than focusing on promoting our program, our goal is our clients' success, that speaks for itself.” says Harrison. “Rather than putting time and effort into convincing anyone that we are the best, we instead put that time and effort into our clients, and let their success do the talking.”

Connor has always steered the team away from self-promotion and unnecessary posting. He instructed us to use our time to become the best at what we do. We do this by continuously testing strategies and improving our delivery in order to maximise client results.”

Sarah, Marriott's Executive Assistant, further explains the company's unique way of operating by giving us a bit more insight on what it’s like to work alongside the young CEO.

 “I’ve been contacted in the past to run articles on Connor. These particular articles focused solely on him being a young, wildly successful entrepreneur. And let me tell you, I’ve never seen him shut anything down faster in my life.” She laughs. “Connor is the polar opposite of being image focused. He is obsessed with improvement and letting his work and results speak for themselves.”

After having the opportunity to speak with multiple Instinct team members, it is clear to see that there is a shared sense of confidence, alignment and purpose that the team encompasses. Their transparency and no-nonsense work ethic is, to put it simply, a breath of fresh air. 

Instinct Education's latest business training program “Evolution 3.0” breaks the traditional online education mould, including everything from AI powered business ‘Intelligence’ tracking software, daily habit and behaviour reprogramming software, and one-on-one business, health and mindset coaching. And, based on their long list of client results and testimonials, the Instinct method seems to be exactly what the Online Business industry has been waiting for.
