Ben Rotherhay from The Value Engine

by G12 Marketing
June 20, 2024

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.
