Get Cash for Your Mobiles, Tablets, and Wearables – Here’s How!

Do you have an old mobile phone, tablet, or wearable sitting around gathering dust? Instead of letting it clutter up your space, why not turn it into cash? Here’s how you can easily sell your used devices:

    1. Find a Trusted Buyback Service
      Several reputable websites and stores offer buyback programs for old electronics. Compare prices on sites like Gazelle, ecoATM, or Swappa to find the best deal for your mobile, tablet, or wearable.
    2. Trade-In Programs
      Many manufacturers and retailers, such as Apple, Best Buy, and Samsung, offer trade-in programs where you can exchange your used devices for credit towards a new one or get cash back.
    3. Online Marketplaces
      Platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist are great places to list your devices for direct sale. Be sure to provide accurate descriptions and good quality photos to attract buyers.



  1. Local Electronics Shops
    Some local shops specialize in buying used electronics. Check your area for stores that may be willing to buy your devices on the spot for cash.
  2. Prepare Your Device for Sale
    Before selling, make sure to back up your data, perform a factory reset, and clean your device. This ensures it’s ready for its next owner and that your personal information is safe.

With so many options, getting cash for your used mobile, tablet, or wearable has never been easier. Take action today and turn your unused gadgets into money!

Life is a Journey, sitting in comfort should be your priority

I suspect anyone who makes a living selling higher quality products understands the challenge of making people understand why they should spend more money on their product, than on a similar looking product elsewhere.

Henry Ford once said that ‘If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.’

We’ve all seen and been in enough cars to understand that Mercedes Benz build a better car than Fiat. It’ll last longer, go further on a litre of fuel and offer a more pleasant visceral experience. It will of course cost more to purchase, so the customer has to decide if they’re going to spend enough time in their car to justify the initial outlay. And in general we’ll find that a professional who needs a car for work and maybe does over 30k miles a year appreciate the benefits the Mercedes brings to their work and life, and will be more tempted to invest in the better product. And if they keep the Mercedes for long enough, at the end of its life it will likely not have cost any more than the Fiat per mile, as well as being a better tool to work and live with.

But car manufacturers know they can’t sell enough cars with a message that one has a better mpg than the other, it’s just not tempting enough, so they create adverts that make you believe your life will look and be better if you make that investment. It won’t of course, but you will have a more comfortable journey, be less likely to break down, use less fuel and all of that does help with productivity. But it’s a boring story. This gets to the heart of my problem. With the greatest of respect, few people have any idea what a chair can do and how good it can be. So we check it has the features we know about, select the colour, filter by price, and Bezos is your uncle, a new chair rolls off the back of a van 24 hours later. And after 6 years selling chairs, I’ve not yet seen an advert for one that makes a compelling reason for you to buy a better one.

So here’s what I’m doing about it.

I will bring the world’s best office chair (there are of course varying opinions on this, but this is my offer so I’m not interested in those for now) to your office, at home or at work.

Then 48 hours later, I’ll come and collect it again.
All you have to do is use it and not spill coffee on it.
Anyone, within 20 miles of Exeter.

Mastering Your 60-Second Business Pitch: Tips for Networking Success!

A powerful 60-second pitch can make all the difference at networking events. It’s your chance to make a memorable first impression and spark interest in your business. Here’s how to craft and deliver an amazing pitch:

1. Start with a Hook:

Grab attention from the get-go with a compelling opening line. This could be a question, a startling fact, or a brief story that relates to your business.

Example: “Did you know that 80% of businesses struggle with online visibility? At Gleave Media, we turn that around.”

2. Clearly State What You Do:

Be concise and clear about what your business offers. Avoid jargon and make sure it’s easily understandable.

Example: “We specialize in digital marketing solutions that boost your online presence and drive traffic to your website.”

3. Highlight Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP):

What sets your business apart from the competition? Focus on your unique strengths and benefits.

Example: “Unlike other agencies, we offer tailored strategies that are data-driven and focused on your specific industry needs.”

4. Share a Quick Success Story:

Illustrate your impact with a brief example of how you’ve helped a client achieve their goals.

Example: “Recently, we helped a local retailer increase their online sales by 50% in just three months.”

5. End with a Call to Action:

Wrap up your pitch by inviting your audience to connect with you or learn more.

Example: “If you’re looking to enhance your online presence and drive growth, let’s chat. Visit our website or connect with me after the event!”

6. Practice Makes Perfect:

Rehearse your pitch until it flows naturally and fits within the 60-second timeframe. Confidence and clarity are key!

7. Engage and Be Enthusiastic:

Show your passion for your business. Enthusiasm is contagious and can leave a lasting impression.

Example Pitch:

“Did you know that 80% of businesses struggle with online visibility? At Gleave Media,, we turn that around. We specialize in digital marketing solutions that boost your online presence and drive traffic to your website. Unlike other agencies, we offer tailored strategies that are data-driven and focused on your specific industry needs. Recently, we helped a local retailer increase their online sales by 50% in just three months. If you’re looking to enhance your online presence and drive growth, let’s chat and connect with me”

Remember:

  • Keep it concise.
  • Be clear and engaging.
  • Practice your delivery.
  • Show your passion.

Good luck, and happy networking!

Ben Rotherhay from The Value Engine

Yesterday, G12 Networking welcomed Ben from The Value Engine to present at their business breakfast event hosted by Alistair Gleave. Ben had the challenge of delivering an informative, actionable, and entertaining talk to energise the attendees while they enjoyed their morning coffee and breakfast.

As an entrepreneur, Ben knows no one wants to sit through a dry, theoretical business lecture first thing in the morning. Instead, he aimed to provide a simple, actionable roadmap for increasing profits and sustainable business growth without the endless grind of all-nighters.

With just 15 minutes for his presentation, Ben made it engaging and memorable by breaking it down into five key steps:

  1. Start with the end goal in mind
  2. Get niched – trying to be everything for everyone leads to nothing
  3. Start with the customer and work backwards
  4. Build the smart machine
  5. Schedule weekly time to plan for the future

Ben hustled through all 5 of those game-changing concepts in his short 15-minute window! He even managed to sneak in a few bites of the breakfast spread.

The engaged audience loved Ben’s energetic and straight-talking style as he shared proven strategies for sustainable business growth. Thanks to Alistair for hosting and inviting such a great speaker. And thanks to Tony Cobley for capturing some brilliant photos from the event.

It was an awesome morning exchanging entrepreneurial ideas over coffee and croissants with Ben and the other motivated G12 Networking attendees.

You can see Ben’s presentation here: G12 Presentation
