Here's a snippet of Ben's story:

"I was that salesperson... the one who hit every target, was high on confidence and itching to be promoted.
I got that promotion.
Life got real. I never expected there would be such a difference between delivering sales results and leading a team.
I got some help. Learnt fast and built a team that won Australian Fast Growth Company Awards 2 years in a row.
Life changed from there.
- 5 X Start Up's and thousand's of great people have grown under my leadership.
- $0 - $40M Revenue in 7 years for my last business.
- 100+ successful professional development programs delivered.
My passion is infectious and I enjoy challenging those around me to grow to their potential.
I'm now hired by Business and Sales Leaders to:
- Build repeatable sales strategies that drive growth and guarantee a return on their investment.
- Develop Sales Leaders to be not only great at sales, but get the best out of their teams.
- Grow Teams who learn together and are accountable to deliver results.
