The Saints have signed seven players already this summer, Martin wants three more signings.
Martin told the Daily Echo: "It has been a focus of mine, along with the owners, Phil Parsons and everyone else.
"Between every training session, there's been a meeting with the ownership group about recruiting - pretty much every day.
"If not, it's a phone call or some phone calls. I expect we'll do a fair bit of business out and in but it takes time when you want certain players and the right ones."
He continued: "I'm really comfortable and happy with what we are working on and how we're going about it. You've just got to hope that it all pays off."
