Business Mentor

Winning more Sales and Achieving Your Business Goals

What I do…well part of what I do

“Mark is proud to be one of the small team of “Millionaire Mentors” for the Entrepreneurs Business Academy. The incredible team that James Caan (businessman and star of BBC’s Dragons’ Den) has put together to make sure the EBA serves and enables Business Owners and Entrepreneurs to ramp up their personal and business effectiveness.”

I help business owners to “Massively improve their results with little or no extra effort”!

Having me work with you on your business will mean a stream of new ideas and assistance in the areas of your business where you need it. It’s all about making the most of every situation and every opportunity.  An opportunity for you to start achieving that level of success you truly desire in your business.

As I have started a business from nothing, built it up and sold to top brand name clients and then sold my business, it means I can help you no matter what stage your business is currently at…..just an idea not yet being developed, or a full running business wanting to take things to the next level…

….as one client said:

“All I can say is that if you are serious about making a difference to your business and want to grow the revenue and profits for that business then you need to talk to Mark. You also need to speak to him if you are looking for new revenue income. Mark doesn’t use any tired or out of date theories, just real easy to apply steps”

Gary Morgan, Milestone.

The Fun Bit!

First though….although business is serious….I never accept a client unless I know it is going to be fun for both of us as well, I add lots of value and you are going to be given ideas, tools and strategies to take your success to the next level, with me there to assist and guide you.

In addition to working with you, the business owner, I can also run in house seminars, workshops and talks for staff in order to have them excited and enthusiastic about their own futures, which in turn will improve their energy, passion and vision for coming to work every day.

Who is this for?

My passion and best value is delivered to owner operated businesses be this one person or a number of people that jointly own a business. The important element for me is those that I am mentoring can make the decision alone or jointly to implement the fantastic ideas and strategies we come up with together. The size of your business doesn’t matter just the fact that I mentor owners who can implement the plans we develop together….ideas are one of my best assets….

How does this work?

Well, how do you want it to work? We can do this as face to face meetings, telephone meetings, or a mixture if you prefer. Whatever fits best with your location and schedule. Typically clients fall into one of two categories – those that need lots of new ideas and strategies to implement them, where we work on a short intense project together (a Business Boost), and those where they are looking for someone on a longer term regular basis to bounce ideas off and look to for guidance. If I was pushed to give an approximate time scale of each I would probably say that on average, all things being equal (which they never are!), then an intense Business Boost tends to come down to 4 days work done over a 4 month period, and that average of a day per month is sometimes done in half day blocks, a whole day or a number of 1 hour meetings. However an initial half day is always advised to get started and fully delve into where you are and where you are going to be. Then of course many clients are both in that they have various Business Boost cycles and ongoing mentoring assistance….it really is all about what you are looking to do and the best way to get you there. An ongoing mentoring client typically has around four hours per month working with me.

Why Me?

In addition to the fact that I have “been there and done it”:

I work with you to identify new markets and / or how to get more out of existing markets by implementing many different strategies to get more customers, clients and sales.

I show you how to deliver fantastic sales presentations that people want to hear.

I work with you to convert more sales enquiries into actual sales.

I also work with you to improve your internal and external communication and  how to use language in communication that improves your chance of success in sales presentations, and communicating with others and clients.

I can also help your staff members become more motivated and enthusiastic about their roles and their direction in work and careers through teaching about a “Success Mindset” and how they can discover their goals if they don’t believe they know what they are, and how they can achieve their Goals, expand comfort zones, change beliefs that hold them back and gain more confidence and become passionate and enthusiastic about their careers and life in general. Most importantly this is done in a way that staff  buy into.

Achieving Goals

Overcoming the obstacles to your success.

The Process for us to work together:

The first step is to answer the following questions with a simple and honest Yes or No response to yourself:

(1) Are you serious about wanting to achieve your Business Goals?

(2) Do you agree it makes sense to work with someone who has created success in business themselves?

(3) Are you ready to begin work on achieving your real potential in Business Success?

If you answered YES to all 3 questions then email me in the first instance at mentoring@rhodes2success.com with some dates and times I can call you and the best number to get you on. Please also let me know the type of business you are in and how long you have been in that business, or simply call me on +44 (0)1376 553003 / 01376 553003 today.

Our initial phone conversation will be an informal chat to discuss your Goals and to see if it makes sense to both of us to explore things further without any obligation to either of us at this stage.

Some of the ways my work has helped people:

“I’ve seen over a 20% growth in my business, this is mainly due to the fact of using one or two of Mark’s methods that he teaches, in particular in the way I am following up on my leads and getting a better conversion rate”

John Rawnsley, Rawapple

“I met with Mark before going to see a potential client I wasn’t sure I would get, Mark gave me advice on how to handle the meeting, how to present my business and the sort of things I should say and do in the meeting. I went to the meeting that afternoon, did what Mark had told me and the client signed up there and then!”

Gareth Talbot

“It really helped me to start changing my mindset and business has started improving as a result. We are having some of our best times when others are struggling! A definite recommendation to anyone who wants to succeed in the current financial climate.”

Brian Thompson, ETM Partners

“Great help, thanks Mark. It is all about changing those habits and telling myself what I put off today will have an impact on my future! So I have stopped procrastinating and started doing! I have started sharing these thoughts with my team and its working – yippee!!!!“

Emma Langstaff

“A great session that really provoked thought and discussion from our senior managers adding significant value to the planning and goal setting process for the year”

Kyle Rowe, Sales Director, Ann Summers

“Mark’s sessions have to date been the only ones that make me want to book the next one immediately. What is really refreshing is that he is a trainer that has really been there and done it – this automatically gives him credibility and you the confidence to believe in what he is saying. His message is simple and clear to understand and I have noticed the small positive changes in my daily routine all ready. I would recommend to anyone to try to attend at least one session – I can guarantee you will take away something postive.”

Lisa Potter, Partner, Lambert Chapman

“Thank you for providing me with such down to earth, simple information which you presented in such a way that it felt so right It has made me want to beat some of the one things so that I can progress my life. Some small things have changed today, many more by the end of the week. I now have draft goals, the first time ever and it is making me so excited.”

Terry Millson

“Brilliant to work through reasons for doing and not doing something. To establish the negatives of not doing something is very powerful and I will be getting on the phone tomorrow! Thank you!”

Sarah Joyner

“I had begun to limit myself as when I didn’t get the response from people that I wanted I was getting down hearted and taking it personally, I got on the phone this morning (mothers day!) to a friend that I have wanted to recruit, acted as if I had it in the bag, piled on the enthusiasm and am now meeting up with her tomorrow to have a serious chat about her signing up with me – how’s that for fast results!!!!”

R.B.

“Mark gets his point across in such a relaxed manner. There is so much to learn from his experiences. A well spent and enjoyable few hours. My confidence in tackling certain situations has increased no end.”

Kate Churchouse

“Not one speaker/trainer has made such an impact to my thinking like Mark has. Mark is an exceptional speaker who is able to reach people from all backgrounds and empowers them to move forward.”

Sarah Sangster, Assistant Director, BNI

“Michael Jackson once said ‘If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change!’ Mark Rhodes is a glowing example of how people can make small changes within their own lives and make a huge difference to their own success. A very honest, open and believeable character, Mark has transformed my limiting beliefs about myself and my business and helped me evaluate everything I do and question how I do it. I now have unshakeable belief in myself, my business and my future. ‘Mark Rhodes has been there and done it, so why not let him help you do it too!”
