"Confused and frustrated about how to source clients and struggling with ins and outs of my business."
“When I met Ben, I was struggling with understanding the ins and outs of my business: Understanding where I was sourcing clients from, how to source them and other different things internally. Honestly, I was frustrated and confused about the next steps I needed to take to solve these problems.
I spoke to a few lead generation agencies but they were just trying to sell me
vs Ben actually wanting to understand my situation. So I thought I would take the leap of faith with him. What's been most beneficial was having a direction rather than me wasting hours, days and weeks and loads of money, trying different methods, that don’t even get me to where I want to go. Whereas working with Ben I get straight to the point, don’t doubt my decisions and I'm getting results directly.
As we got started some of the key things that we did was creating a structured plan of how I'm going to generate leads, attracting people in a more professional way with systems and automations and of course tracking everything so I know where to improve. With Ben’s help I’ve gone from a cohort of 8 students to a cohort of 18 and I’ve created another service to help current students even more, whilst also creating recurring revenue for myself. This has meant I’ve doubled my revenue to £69k in just 3 months, which could easily go to £80k after a few more sales calls.
So financially I’ve already had a 5x return but I’ve also systemised my business, there’s a lot more automation, a lot more clarity and peace of mind as a result. I now have a structure to lead generation, I’m not scattered everywhere and as a result I’m a lot more productive and a lot more effective with my actions. There’s no price tag I could put on this because honestly, it’s been priceless, I would say a 10X return bare minimum.
I also referred one of my friends to Ben’s coaching and he literally can’t stop talking about how amazing it is. It just goes to show that it's not only just me, who has benefited but also anybody else I refer to him. Thank you again Ben for all of your guidance. It's been really helpful, and it's also been inspiring for me to see how I can improve the quality of my service to make people feel the same way. Looking forward to the next 3 months!”

"absolutely priceless, I have the confidence to take the reigns from here"
2X my revenue in 5 months & hired an employee
to handle new clients
"Before working with Ben, I didn’t have a clear idea or vision of what I wanted my business to look like. I gained clarity on my next steps literally within our first call.
He’s been really accommodating to my hectic schedule and working at a pace that I can really grow in my business. What I loved most was the resources in the portal were videos catered specifically for me vs generic videos. There’s a solid list of templates, the new apps were super helpful, he and his team really got it down!
He helped me hire my first employee to keep up with the demand of my marketing services, which was a huge step for us and ultimately expand my business so I could take on more clients at a time.
Thanks to Ben we now have a 50-60% close rate and doubled our revenue in the past 5 months of working together.
He’s also helped me expand my knowledge and resources of useful platforms so that I could increase efficiency within my business. I would definitely say I have 2x my productivity and now have a clear vision for what I want the future of my business to look like.
I love that through us working together I have shifted from working in the business to working on the business.
If you’re looking for a business coach I highly recommend working with Ben Ivey and Entrepreneur Lifestyle, very grateful for what you’ve helped me achieve so far!”
£10k/m to £50k/m in 81 days
"Ben helped give us an uplift from £10k/month to £50k/month in 3 months. Working with him was near optimal, we went from one of our worst months to one of our best.
He gave us a 10X even a 20X ROI since working with him so far. We are now bringing in projects that are bigger than any over the past 6-7 years of trading.
It’s not just the revenue, we are building processes and foundational structures into the way that we work. That is an investment that will create exponential results as it snowballs in terms of productivity gains.
Ben taught us to over deliver for our clients and clearly that is something he is doing, as he’s trying to hit the upper point of my expectations whilst doing this, if not exceed them.
It’s been awesome working with him so far, couldn’t recommend him more"

£32k in my first 30 days with a brand new offer
“I was struggling with clarity around my offer, how to get qualified clients, and how to structure a program that makes sense to my ideal clients and delivers results. I knew Ben worked with a few of my friends and got incredible results but it took me a while to actually get started.
I thought it was going to be a normal program, but it’s been the best program I’ve done in terms of mentorship. Because from every avenue you receive support, from knowledge, to systems and accountability. Even the little things they do to show they actually care about you as opposed to just being part of a big academy of 100 people, it really surpassed my expectations.
The first month was amazing, especially because it was a completely new offer. Revenue wise I made £32k and it was over Christmas so I thought I would struggle to have people to join, it was really incredible. What really helped make this happen was pure clarity on my offer, and how to actually reach my target of £100k in 3 months. What I really enjoyed is that they broke it down so I could actually see exactly how to make it happen.
I can’t put a number on the ROI I’ve received because it has genuinely been priceless. Especially in terms of the way they conduct the program and the onboarding. I definitely applied that to my own business and copied it because I wanted it to be as good! From here the sky is the limit!
I found out about Ben but stalled for over 6 months before I decided to call him up and say let’s just do it. I didn’t want to invest and I didn’t take action but I wish I did it earlier, imagine if I started 6 months ago where I would be now! Take the action and you’ll see great results believe me! Thanks again for everything!”
3X ROI in 3 weeks
I was finding it really difficult to carve out enough time to really grow my coaching business and take it seriously. I wanted to target a completely different client for my coaching and didn't really know how to approach that. I was struggling with motivation generally and probably wasting quite a bit of time unproductively. I recognised that, and knew I needed to to make some changes there too.
It’s been a really positive experience working with Ben and the team on all of those things.I knew that I would be able to focus more on my coaching and recognised the impact that a coach would have. What I didn't appreciate was how marked my increase in motivation would be, and my productivity, which really changed from day one.
I reckon there's easily an extra day of work going into every week, and it hasn't reduced the amount of quality free time I've got. I still find time to get to the beach every week with my dog and I still make sure I've got my weekend for my family.
I've only really switched things on in the last 3 to 4 weeks, in terms of the new business that I'm trying to build. Last week I signed a client that easily gives a 3 times ROI from what I invested in the coaching.
I think it’s fair to say in the last week, I've had more leads than I've ever had, so I know it's about to ramp up to the point that I'm probably going to need to start thinking about dialling down some of the activity I'm doing and and having a more measured approach.
My coach Tanya has been a 10 out of 10, I really like her coaching style. I probably share the same joke with most coaches that we can be a bit of a nightmare to be coached because we're always trying to kind of second guess where we're going with the conversation, and we've got excuses and barriers. But she let me unravel my own thoughts before I can then build, build back something better.
I’ve probably accessed 20 to 30% of all of the content that's there. And when I first saw it all, I thought, right, I am having all of this and getting my money's worth. I'm a finance director turned coach so I'm going to make sure I've seen everything, and there's so much really great, rich content. You could easily get your return on investment just by watching all the videos and getting the self help stuff.
It’s absolutely a no brainer to work with them, looking forward to the next few months!
"I was in risky waters" to 5X ROI in 3 months
"I was entering risky waters before I met Ben, where I was struggling with lead generation, time management and focus. With a baby on the way too I felt like I was spreading myself too thin in lots of different areas.
I run a Click Up Consulting business and never had a coach before. I had tight deadlines with what I needed to achieve so really needed this to work. One of my biggest insights has been how helpful it is to have a coach that keeps me accountable and focused in one direction because it's really easy to pick up other priorities without reflecting too heavily whether they are actually a priority or not.
Some of the changes we made on my profile, how it was created and positioned allowed me to double my leads. On top of that the conversations with leads have been much better and I feel like I’m converting more on my sales calls.
I’ve probably doubled my productivity through a combination of freeing up time in my calendar that I hadn't found myself, which allowed me more time to focus on the business. And at the same time having that roadmap and real focus has meant that I've done more valuable things with that time.
Short term in the past 3 months it’s been a 3X ROI. Though if I think back over the content that's been generated, the focus on lead conversations, and the new road map I’m thinking more like 5X ROI long term. Hiring somebody to bounce ideas backwards and forwards has been the best part.
I wouldn’t have achieved half of what I have, if I didn’t do coaching. I will continue to carry on coaching for much, much longer now, because I can see the value that it adds to my business. If you're thinking that you need it, but you're not sure you can afford it, which was my case then I would say just go for it! Thank you so much."
Landed some amazing opportunities including my first inspirational talk and TED reached out to me!
I initially thought I was signing up for something purely transactional—optimizing LinkedIn, creating a sales funnel, and generating leads. However, what I got was far more than I expected. The coaching support has been phenomenal, providing me not just with business strategies but also a shift in mindset.
Since starting, I've landed some amazing opportunities, including giving my first inspirational talk, which received positive feedback from senior sales leaders. One of the biggest surprises was receiving an email from TED inviting me to submit a talk proposal for a TEDx event in Brighton. This has opened up a new avenue for me to share my ideas on how strategy can change the world—a theme I believe is deeply misunderstood and rarely executed well.
Additionally, working with Ben and the team has already helped me secure a project with a major pharmaceutical company, which could be one of the most significant engagements I've ever had. I feel confident we're laying the right foundations. I now have a clear focus, my branding is evolving, and the strategy I’ve used for 25 years is being better articulated and positioned in the marketplace.
I would highly recommend working with Ben and his team if you want to inject fresh energy and perspective into your business. It’s been a pleasant surprise and worth every investment, especially if you’re looking for support that goes beyond the basics and helps you see the bigger picture.
The leads are exceeding my expectation in numbers, but even more its the quality of leads I’m seeing
I think we started the journey with Ben with a bit of scepticism and maybe I was a bit cynical actually, but tried to remain positive. We've never been involved with any real coaching before and my experience has been one of an enormous steep learning curve, both personally on how we we as a team of senior managers manage our business, but also hands on with the team in raising their knowledge and skill sets around
the tools and the systems to generate more leads online.
From what we’ve learned on Linkedin, I think I can only liken it to getting your first smartphone. When you get your smartphone, you've got some apps that you use but you actually only use 10% of the phone, and that's a bit like what we’ve been doing with our LinkedIn marketing. We know that LinkedIn marketing works, but actually we've only been doing about 10% of what it’s capable of, and you've given us insight into the further 90%. It’s been a bit of a mind blowing exercise that we didn't realise how much you could actually do and the tools you can use. That’s been the biggest eye opener.
Now the leads we're now starting to get through are both exceeding my expectation in numbers. But actually, it's more about the quality of the leads that I'm sort of seeing. They are no doubt all within the area that I wanted to be receiving. Before this, we had so many channels that we're working with and it was very difficult to manage all of those channels and for us to evaluate the quality from each of them. It seemed like we had so much that we were throwing at the wall hoping something would stick, but not actually really understanding which one was sticking. And there was a lot of wastage, compared to now there's real, real value and real quality.
We were probably fairly efficient on the things we were doing. But it's just the things we were doing probably weren't the right thing. So I'd actually say that we are, as a team, hugely more efficient. From the marketing and lead gen side, at least 2-3x more efficient with a lot more to come in the coming months.
In my opinion, as a small business with a budget that we manage very carefully to ensure we get the best out of the return, this was definitely worth the investment. Especially from the first 3 months of the experience so far, and hence why we have committed to working with Ben for a further period of time. Absolutely worth investing in!

"Losing money working 16hr days"
Made 6X more money with 1/3 of his team
"Before I met Ben I was losing money every month and was experiencing a really stressful time working 16-hour days, 7 days a week.
I reached out to Ben because I thought I needed help in marketing with my business. Little did I know that this wasn’t the major issue.
What was more important was overcoming perfectionism, stress and being too analytical in my business. I realised that always being overwhelmed with work isn’t a good thing.
Working with Ben has helped me overcome these challenges and many more, to greatly improve my relationships, my health and happiness. What's been amazing is that I made 6x more money with only 1/3 of my team!
With Ben’s help I have managed to 10x my business ! I now have the freedom to travel the world and do what I love!”
"I was winging it and had no structure,
now I'm 100x more efficient!"
"Before working with Ben's team, I was winging it, I didn’t have a structure and didn’t have enough leads. It's been a million times better than any other program that I’ve done.
Aside from being extremely well thought out and set up with everything that you need. The methods that you use for leads, systems you help set up, background documentation and support is way ahead of any other program I’ve worked on. I've received every bit of support that I needed and with regards to the lead gen it’s actually different to what other people are doing. And it works!
I’m 3 to 4 times more productive and that's due to the efficiency, automations and systems I now have in place. I can say that I am 100 times more efficient, because even if I'm, ill, which I was in the last few weeks. I know, all my automations and stuff are taken care of, and there's so many less things I need to worry about on a regular daily basis so efficiency wise its skyrocketed.
Working with Ben’s coach Tanya has been amazing. I don't understand how she's so amazing. But she just has this intuition where she knows exactly what I need to move forward and help me be more productive or efficient as I need to be in the coming weeks. She gives really useful practical tips and steps that work for the individual to actually make them succeed. So, if there's something in particular you're struggling with, she'll realise that and work with you in a certain way and give you exactly what you need to get to where you want to be.
I can’t rate this whole thing highly enough, just do it because it'll probably change your whole business way more than you think. Your impression of the program will only get better and better as you go, looking forward to the next 3 months!"
"Over 500 leads in 3 months"
"Initially I was struggling with external marketing, I've been on LinkedIn for many, many years. But never saw seen as a as a workhorse in terms of how to use LinkedIn as a platform to generate new leads.
I’ve spent 30 years working for bigger corporations you feel that you have a reputation to those organisations and to portray yourself in a different authentic way and learning what that could look like has been an interesting journey.
In the past 3 months I’ve probably generated over 500 new leads, all of which are relevant, and my target market. The key aspects that I’ve found most helpful have been the automations and feedback on being human which I think will pay even more dividends later on. And I would say I haven’t had to work that hard to get those contacts on board now that I’ve learnt Ben’s systems.
Really recommend working with the team if you want to understand how to use Linkedin to generate leads."
"The coaching is perfect and they’ll have everything covered for you to generate a huge amount of leads for your business"
My biggest challenge in business was that I wasn’t able to generate leads. I know, there's a lot of surveyors out there but I was just struggling to get any leads at all. I think I was finding one to two leads a month and I thought if I could get 10 a month that’ll be great!
The leads I’ve generated is way above what I expected, it’s a huge amount, I already have 18 people waiting in my inbox to reply to just from today. That’s just organic leads and there are a lot of potential leads I have now on Linkedin. On the paid ads side that worked very well generating leads at £29 a lead, and these were great leads as they showed they were interested in GPS by clicking through the ad.
The best thing has been the personal contact with Ben week to week, and it’s nice that he is there on group calls and not just one of the team. I have to say as well that all the videos and resources are very comprehensive for you to know how to make Linkedin work for you.
Honestly if you’ve got a good business model and good potential for sale. I would recommend working with Ben and the team because they cover every aspect of marketing and the business. You will learn a huge amount, the coaching is perfect and they’ll have everything covered for you to generate a huge amount of leads for your business.
"I struggle with ADHD and often feel overwhelmed" to
"All the systems are ready to go and I'm generating leads"
The main challenge I had before we met was generating leads and having enough corporate clients, because I was dealing with individual clients mainly. I also struggle with ADHD where I can feel very overwhelmed, so needed more close support to keep me on track which is why I was attracted to the program.
Working with the team has certainly over exceeded my expectations and the little touches of surprises I absolutely loved. I’ve really enjoyed the hand holding, the structure with instructions to follow, regular catch ups and the workbooks really helped. The road map was really useful so you know all the time where you’re at and all of these definitely helps with tackling that overwhelm which has been really good.
I found automation and a light bulb went off, I actually don't have to contact 30 people a day manually, I can actually get that to be automated and I thought that was amazing when done in an authentic way. I’ve had so many more leads than I would have ever done without the systems you have taught me.
I am 100% clear about what to do, I have a new product which is being scoped out, I have client testimonials ready to go, all the systems ready to go and I'm generating leads. Now the mechanisms are working nicely, so that’s a great result in my book!
Everybody has a different formula of success, and I don't think you impose yours in any way, which is fantastic for me. Everybody works at their own pace, but at the same time, we have our own goals, but there is not a formula that everybody has to follow in that sense. Working with a company doing 20 million or a small business they are completely different. And I think you understand that and the individual support tailored to my business has really helped.
I would say definitely do it, it's the best investment in business I’ve made so far, and I've tried a fair few business coaches and programs. Absolutely 100% recommend it!

"3 calls booked in the first 3 days"
In the beginning stages of trying to build a business, it’s tough without a sounding board. I had been on a couple of other coaching programs and they've been ok, I was shown a framework and told to follow it and you'll be fine but it never worked well. Most recently I paid for coaching with youtube ads but I was all over the place and my message wasn’t clear.
I decided to double down on Linkedin but was struggling with nailing down my ideal customer and aligning the messaging with the customer which is why I decided to work with Ben. What has been great is that there’s actually a lot of customization in the process and a genuine connection I didn’t get on any other coaching program
I already had tools in place but he showed me how to use them to generate more volume on Linkedin, and then aligning the messages with the target audience.
It moved really quickly, especially when the sequences are out and you’re engaging people pretty much on a daily basis. In the first 3 days, I landed 3 sales calls by following the 10 step process that Ben teaches, it really works.
Also working with Ben on the time compression was really helpful. I often feel overwhelmed with goal setting, especially going from managing a team of 60 to running my own business, it’s difficult to know how long something will take to complete. I remember 1 week I had to recreate a video page, build a playbook, create a new audience, sort out new messaging and review the LinkedIn page. I thought it would take me a few weeks but Ben pushed me get all that completed in 5 days. The accountability and the pressure helped me to get things done really quickly.
I feel like I'm on a much better path. I have a lot more clarity in what I want to do. I have a system in place to follow and the tracking in place to make it work. All of this should see me through now in terms of where I want to get with my business, highly recommend working with Ben and his team.
"I have developed 10X in the program, absolutely outstanding"
The thing about so many coaches that you see today, is they sell you a kind of approach to how things work. They don't have the understanding and capacity to work outside of a framework. That's not really a coach. That's just somebody that's helping you along the way. You need somebody that's got experience, been there, done that, and has a capacity to be flexible, to understand and adapt to you.
I can’t emphasise enough that I'm not blaming other coaches, because they can only do what they understand. The difference is they lack the understanding above what they do. And that's the difference, that's where working with Ben’s team has been so much better than the rest.
The difference with Ben is that he's got a whole framework, like a buffet, and all you do is choose the bits that you need. It really is immense. The fact that they’ve created all that is absolutely outstanding. And the fact that they’re making it work, absolutely full praise for them on that one! You don't have to take it all. It's just the bit that's right for you. That's the difference.
I reached out to Ben primarily because I couldn't get the messaging right, I didn't have a clear idea about my personal brand and how to present myself. The way I’ve developed has been 10 fold during the program. I have to say it was surprisingly easy working with my coach Tanya. I thought she was particularly good at understanding me, where I was at and extracting things from me. Even when she pushed me into a hard corner, she did so in the right manner. Not in having a go at me, but it was the case that this person is trying to help me out to bring out the best and the way she did it was exceptional. I’d give her a 15 out of 10!
It was really in the latter months when I could take a step back, see where things were going and not be frozen at a high level. I have so much more clarity now rather than chasing after too many things, and I have the foundation financially to move forward. As I move into 2024, it's about being persistent in my approach to business and just not leaving it to chance. I now realise that I've got the skill sets, and now just need to show up and do more. I can’t thank the team enough and I'm looking forward to working with them again!
3X more productive and saved $1000/month in the first 60 days
"It was great working with him helping me to spend time ON the business and unblock certain issues holding me back. He’s really helped me become much more confident and less stressed now that I know where my business is going.
It was much better than what I expected, really enjoyed all the tools, sheets and templates he shared. Out of everything the Freedom Matrix resonated with me most and enjoyed creating my own Control Tower! In the pas 2 months I’d say I’m 3x more productive through working together.
Automating the sales process, feeling more in control of my business and even not doing some key tasks anymore that are delegated to my team.
The strategic changes I made with Ben have saved me $1000 / month and I now have a much better structure and routine with accountability so I don’t feel as lost!
I’d definitely recommend reaching out to Ben and working with him"
4 weeks of runway to £26k in 2 and a half months
The first time Ben and I spoke, it was the case that I’ve got 4 weeks left or I have to look for another job. In 2 and a half months, I’ve gone from 0 revenue to a solid £26k revenue plus ad hoc work and projects coming in. I have 2 - 3 Assistants lined up to work with Premier Admin Services, another 2 big potential clients in the pipeline, and even speaking to a company about a partnership for our services.
I’ve even done a launch party with 40 people which has been fab! I’ve upgraded my desk to have all 3 screens to get things moving and downloaded a few systems to help me from the virtual assistant side. Looking forward to the next few months where we are looking to scale up and build things sustainably
