Win more clients while keeping your professional image…

“Mark Rhodes is proud to be a hand-picked Millionaire Mentor for the EBA, chosen by Bev James, Founder & MD. The Entrepreneurs’ Business Academy is a joint venture with BBC TV’s Dragons’ Den star, James Caan”

Hi, I’m Mark Rhodes and I’m a Business Mentor with a difference…

You’ve arrived here because you’re looking for help to grow your Solicitors Practice and yet more than likely don’t like the idea of being seen to be “selling” or using “sales techniques” in order to get more clients – the great news is you don’t have to!

“We invited Mark to speak at our monthly select Networking event and we are so glad we did. Mark held the audience for the whole hour and fantastic feedback was received from the attendees, Mark added real value to our event”

Nick Mallet, Partner, DMH Stallard LLP, Solicitors

My first job on leaving college was working within a firm of Chartered Accountants. I then moved into industry, started and built my own business, sold it, retired for 15 minutes before getting bored, and then went on to mentor others in building great Success in their businesses. Many of my clients are professional firms – Solicitors and Accountants. As I have a background working in the Professions I fully understand and appreciate the values and professional standards that are part of life for a firm of Solicitors.

What you’ll get working with me; is practical, positive and pragmatic help to get your Firm on the fast track to success, without the need to be seen as being pushy, desperate or a sales person – I built my own business this way and that’s really the secret to my success. I used the same approaches I now mentor people in to get some of the biggest brand names as clients in my business – despite being a small business. The funny thing is at the time I was just being me, I wasn’t using any particular approaches or skills. However once I achieved my own success and sold the company I realised I must be doing something different to the masses out there. Yet I hated selling and would never do it but ended up signing amazing deals with huge clients!

You’ll learn how to massively improve your results with little or no extra effort. If that sounds like a wild claim – it isn’t, it’s all about focus and I’ve got a track record to prove I know what I’m talking about.

I started up my IT business from nothing, built it up with clients from some of the best known brands in the world. Then I was approached by a Silicon Valley company from the USA and sold it for a very healthy amount.

“Mark has injected a huge amount of enthusiasm and belief into our staff, showing them that they can achieve their own Goals and what they want from life and he has given them the tools and ideas to get started. It was refreshing to see the buzz still going around the office a week later, and more and more staff coming up with Goals they wanted to achieve. Mark’s presentation was so well received that we were overwhelmed with requests from the team to get Mark back as soon as possible to take them to the next stage. A big reason Mark has gone down so well with our team is his down to earth approach and the fact that he has been there and had success himself and achieved his Goals. I would definitely recommend Mark on a business or personal level, he really will inspire you to make some worthwhile changes.”

Sue Carlile, Partner, Smith Law Partnership, Solicitors.

Do you qualify?

You’ll need to satisfy two criteria – yes, only two!

You’re the owner/partner (solely or jointly) or a Manager of your Solicitors Firm.
You’ll need to be prepared to take action; this isn’t a theoretical exercise.

If you’ve answered yes to both of these, then we’re off to a great start!

“We engaged Mark to speak at one of our client seminars and his presentation was so well received that one of the major banks who attended immediately wanted to arrange a meeting with Mark to see how he could them grow their business. I had no hesitation in using Mark at CBHC because for me he scored on two main counts – firstly he has been there and done it with his own business and secondly he has worked in a Chartered Accountants office himself in the past. Mark has the knack of making the seemingly impossible seem quite achievavle by getting people to question their limiting beliefs and to view challenges and opportunities in a different light”

Gary White, Business Advisory Director, CBHC LLP.

What do you have to do?

The way we go to work depends on you to a large extent. You can choose to work face-to-face, by tele-meetings or using online webcam – or a combination of any of these.

You choose what works best for your location and around your existing commitments and schedule. The idea is that this doesn’t ‘get in the way’; it enhances your Solicitors Firm.

I’ve found that clients typically fall into three categories:

You need lots of new ideas and strategies to implement them and really need a kick-start to get things moving fast (a Business Boost)
You want an ongoing mentor to bounce ideas off and offer guidance and focus as different things come up (Business Mentor)
You would like the team to be more enthusiastic, confident and proactive (more on this further down)

The Business Boost is usually a short intense project where we work together towards a specific outcome. There’s no ‘typical’ format, but it generally starts with a half day exploratory session to get focused on what you want and where you are now. You’re probably looking at about one day a month for four months – although this can be in full or half day blocks or a series of one hour meetings.

Ongoing Business Mentoring is open ended and can be an hour, two hours, half a day or a whole day each month, depending on your needs. Again a half day exploratory session is usually a good way to start to set out the playing field. A typical client (if there were such a thing) works with me for between four and eight hours a month.

Many clients use both these approaches concurrently with the Business Mentoring planning the strategy and putting the structure for success into place; whilst a Business Boost tackles a specific project that has a time scale to get the results needed.

What do you really get?

“I am also proud to be a hand-picked Millionaire Mentor for the EBA, chosen by Bev James, Founder & MD. The Entrepreneurs’ Business Academy is a joint venture with BBC TV’s Dragons’ Den star, James Caan”

At the risk of sounding boastful, I really have been there and done it – so you’ll get real world experience from someone who has more than theory to call upon.

So you can expect to get help with:

Identifying new markets and clients
Getting more out of your existing client relationships
Strategies that generate more clients and revenue
Creating and delivering fantastic presentations that potential clients love
Converting enquiries into new clients
Improving your internal communication to get more from your team
Improving your external communication, using language that improves your success with clients
One to one Partner and Senior Manager mentoring if required
Developing your staff, generating enthusiasm and motivation as well as focus and personal satisfaction – the ‘Success Mindset’ including:
- Setting personal goals
- Expanding comfort zones
- Exploding beliefs that hold them back
- Gaining confidence
- Getting excited about work and life.

If you want me to work with your team I’m happy to organise workshops or seminars that will develop high levels of motivation and enthusiasm. These can include:

Effective communication
Networking without Selling
Follow Up so easy anyone can do it!
Winning more clients naturally
Effective networking for more business and clients
Achieving goals
Overcoming the obstacles to your success

“Mark’s sessions are the only ones that make me want to book the next one immediately. What is really refreshing is that he has really been there and done it – this 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 already. I would recommend anyone to attend at least one session – I can guarantee you will take away something positive.”

Lisa Potter, Partner, Lambert Chapman Accountants

“I found your presentation enjoyable, informative and thought provoking. I see many opportunities to introduce some of the advice conveyed to us”

Peter Harrup, Partner, PKF LLP

“Thank you so much Mark for the training and the fantastic presentation to our staff team. We would highly recommend training or a presentation of this type to any staff group. It was inspirational and motivational It really got us all thinking.”

Michelle Duggan, Primary Care Uk Ltd

What next?

How serious are you? If you really want to know how to take your Solicitors Practice to the next level you’ll need to answer these three questions honestly:

Do you want to work with someone who has the background and experience to help you get there quicker?
Are you ready to take action and achieve the huge potential your business has for success?

If you’ve answered YES to all three questions you’re ready for the next step.

I went to the meeting that afternoon, did what Mark had told me and the client signed up there and then!”
