How to win more sales and achieve your business goals
“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.
You’ve arrived here because you’re looking for help – and that’s what you’ll get if you choose to work with me; practical, positive and pragmatic help to get your business on the fast track to success.
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 (with at least 6 zeros on the end)!
No matter what stage your business is currently at – whether you’re just getting started or you’re well under way, but want to step up a level or two, I’ve analysed and formatted the steps you’ll need to take to get the same kind of success in your business.
“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. Mark doesn’t use any tired or out of date theories, just real easy-to-apply steps”
Gary Morgan, Milestone
Do you qualify?
You’ll need to satisfy two criteria – yes, only two!
- You’re the owner (solely or jointly) of your business.
- 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!
“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
Do you know how to have fun?
Having fun is critical to business success. Yes, business is a serious matter, but I never accept a client unless I know it’s going to be fun for both of us. If you don’t have fun, the chance of you applying the value you get, implementing the ideas, using the tools and strategies, will be dramatically reduced.
You’ll find I’m focused on getting you moving forwards, acting as your focus, guide, catalyst and part of your think-tank. If you’ve got staff, I’ll be aiming for them to be excited and enthusiastic too – which will improve their energy, passion and dedication to coming in each day and helping you to achieve the success you want for you business. This doesn’t happen in an environment that isn’t fun!
“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 it’s working – yippee!!!!“
Emma Langstaff
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 business commitments and schedule. The idea is that this doesn’t ‘get in the way’; it enhances your business operation.
I’ve found that clients typically fall into two 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 (Business Mentor)
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.
“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
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.
I’d done well in my jobs before I started my own company and when I sold the company I was curious as to what had contributed to my success. Rather than just sitting back on my laurels, I studied what I’d done and learned a lot about other business people who had experienced success. I identified what made the difference between huge success and just doing ‘OK’. This means that you won’t just get ‘my view’, but the secrets of success that business millionaires (and billionaires) have used, and continue to use.
So you can expect to get help with:
- Identifying new markets
- Getting more out of your existing marketing
- Strategies that generate more customers, clients and sales
- Creating and delivering fantastic sales presentations that potential clients love
- Converting sales enquiries into rock solid sales in the order book
- Improving your internal communication to get more from your team
- Improving your external communication, using language that improves your sales success and customer connections
- Developing your staff, generating enthusiasm and motivation as well as focus and personal satisfaction – the ‘Success Mindset’
-
- 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
- Winning more sales deals naturally
- Effective networking for more business and clients
- Achieving goals
- Overcoming the obstacles to your success
“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.
“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

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

If you still need convincing – here’s what some of my clients have said:
“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
“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.”
