The guided questions made it much easier to get to know people\, share key information quickly\, and have more meaningful conversations in a short amount of time. \nI was also impressed by the quality of participants. While we were only a small group\, I really liked the point you made that collectively\, each of us has 100+ contacts within our own networks. When you look at it that way\, the opportunities to connect with more people and help each other grow are actually quite significant. It was a great reminder that the value of the group goes far beyond the people sitting in the room. \nThanks again\, and I’m looking forward to the next event – Adeline Macaraig -Precise Me \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n   \n  \nJoin us. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Asentiv PRO- Advanced Client Aquisition
DESCRIPTION:“Asentiv PRO is the accelerator for entrepreneurs who don’t want to chase every deal\, but want the right deals — through relationships\, referrals\, and strategic alliances. If you’re ready to stop working hard for every client and instead build a network that brings you the best-fit clients almost automatically\, this is it. You’ll join a mastermind of peers\, sharpen your positioning\, refine your message\, and build your referral engine — while doing business in your values\, with your community\, with impact.” \nClients work directly with Phil Bedford in collaborative focused sessions. \n“At the end of December 2009 our business was on the point of going bust. Today\, after attending courses with Asentiv things have completely turned around. We have just closed a deal worth 250\,000aed and have two hotels about to sign and I haven’t even finished my training yet!”  Jan Curtis Owner Bare Essentials \n“For a founder trying to establish herself in a new country\, that has been remarkable. I still continue to learn something new from Phil every week. Not just about networking\, but about patience\, positioning\, trust\, visibility and the importance of building a business rooted in genuine relationships. Looking back\, signing up to Asentiv was one of the most important business decisions I made in Dubai. It did not just help me win clients.  It helped me find my footing in a market I was still learning how to navigate. It gave me the confidence\, structure and community I needed at a time when I could very easily have given up and gone home. For any founder or business owner entering the UAE market\, especially if you are used to doing business somewhere else\, my biggest lesson is this:Do not underestimate how important your network is here. And do not mistake networking for showing up in rooms. The real work is learning how to build trust\, create value\, earn referrals\, and become known for something specific.That is exactly what Phil\, and Asentiv helped me do”. -Laura Hockley The Aly Collective \n“Phil Bedford of Asentiv has been influential in the past year and half over the evolution of MoneyLine Family Office as a business and me personally. When I first met him\, I was dubious of the Asentiv courses\, assuming that I took many seminars about prospecting and referrals while attending the Million Dollar Round Table annually in the United States. Today after talking the Asentiv PRO twice within the past 18 months\, I can safely say that my Referral Strategy has shifted 180 degrees\, and I was wrong about my earlier assumption of my knowledge about the subject. The key point in Asentiv PRO Program has provided me with the fundamentals of the Referral Strategy and the philosophy which stands at the core of it. I wished I did Asentiv PRO 5 years ago; it would have saved me a lot of hassle and accelerated my growth dramatically”- Karim Ghandour Owner Money Line Group \n  \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC Design & Build + Eng - Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic SBC Deep Dive designed exclusively for business owners and professionals in Construction\, Design\, Real Estate\, and Consulting. This MIXER is your opportunity to expand your network\, build valuable connections\, and engage with industry peers in a productive and supportive environment. \nWhy Most Networking Doesn’t Work \nMost networking events are designed around one simple objective: helping you meet more people. \nSBC Deep Dives were created around an entirely different objective. \nHelping people truly understand you. \nAt first glance that may sound like a subtle distinction\, but in reality it changes almost everything. \nAfter more than thirty years studying relationship marketing and working with thousands of business owners across eleven countries\, we’ve reached a conclusion that challenges conventional thinking. The biggest obstacle to winning more business is rarely a lack of contacts. More often\, it is a lack of clarity. \nMany talented professionals struggle to explain what they really do. They know their industry inside out\, yet they find it difficult to communicate why clients choose them\, what people are actually buying from them or what makes them genuinely different. Consequently\, networking conversations often remain enjoyable but superficial. We meet people. We exchange business cards. We promise to stay in touch. Yet very few people leave truly understanding one another. \nAnd without understanding\, very little changes. \n“People don’t refer businesses they’ve simply met. They refer businesses they truly understand.” \nThat single belief is the foundation on which every SBC Deep Dive has been built. \nRather than asking\, “How many people can we fit into a room?”\, we ask a different question. \n“What environment allows people to build genuine understanding?” \nThe answer has never been larger rooms. \nIt has always been smaller ones. \nEvery SBC Deep Dive is intentionally limited to around fourteen to sixteen participants. This isn’t about exclusivity. It is about creating the conditions where trust can develop naturally. When people feel comfortable enough to stop performing and start thinking\, the quality of every conversation changes. \nPeople listen differently. \nThey contribute differently. \nThey become curious instead of simply waiting for their turn to speak. \nThat shift alone creates opportunities that rarely emerge in traditional networking environments. \nHowever\, the small group is only part of the story. \nThe real difference lies in what happens around the table. \nUnlike conventional networking events where conversations are left entirely to chance\, every SBC Deep Dive follows a professionally facilitated relationship-building methodology that has been developed and refined over more than three decades. \nThe methodology itself remains proprietary\, not because we wish to create mystery\, but because its value does not lie in a handful of clever questions. Its strength comes from the journey participants experience together. The sequence of conversations. The facilitation. The psychology behind each discussion. The moments of reflection. The shared discoveries. The connections that naturally emerge as people begin to understand one another more deeply. \nIt is a process designed not simply to introduce people\, but to transform how they see themselves and how others see them. \nOne of the most common comments we hear afterwards isn’t about the number of people someone met. \nIt’s something much more revealing. \n“I finally understand what people are really buying from me.” \nThat statement captures everything. \nBecause when someone gains clarity about the value they create\, everyone else gains clarity too. Suddenly introductions become easier. Referrals become more natural. Collaborations appear where previously none existed. People stop describing what they do and begin explaining why it matters. \nThat is why we believe success should never be measured by the number of conversations we have. \nIt should be measured by what those conversations create. \nDid people understand you? \nDid they remember you? \nDid they recognise opportunities for you? \nDid they leave knowing exactly who should meet you next? \nThose are the outcomes that build businesses. \nAs artificial intelligence continues to change the way we communicate\, human understanding becomes increasingly valuable. Technology can help us exchange information faster than ever before. It can automate processes\, write emails and connect us digitally. \nBut it cannot replace trust. \nIt cannot replace genuine understanding. \nAnd it cannot replace the confidence someone feels when recommending another human being. \nThat is why SBC Deep Dives exist. \nNot to help people network harder. \nBut to help them build relationships that matter. \nBecause businesses are rarely transformed by the number of people we meet. \nThey are transformed by the number of people who truly understand us. \n          \n  \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC Fractional CXO - Master Mind
DESCRIPTION:A Fractional | Mastermind programme for senior executives building a fractional career. \nFractional work is growing quickly\, but for many senior executives\, the first step into the market is not always clear. \nYou have years of experience behind you. \nYou know you can add value. \nYou have created and led teams\, solved complex problems\, built functions\, driven growth\, managed change\, and supported founders before. \nBut turning all of that into a clear fractional proposition\, getting it out to the market\, and securing a mandate can be challenging and often daunting. \nThis programme is curated around the real questions first-time fractionals often face: \nHow do you turn years of experience into a clear offer? \nHow do you position yourself so the market understands what you actually do? \nHow do you understand what founders are really buying\, beyond just time and expertise? \nHow do you build the right relationships and create opportunities without feeling overly salesy? \nHow do you deal with the self-doubt\, uncertainty\, and emotional weight of putting yourself into the market? \nThe SBC Fractional | Mastermind is a practical\, discussion-led session curated to help senior executives explore the early stages of becoming fractional. \nThis is a space to think\, discuss\, pressure-test ideas\, and learn from others who are navigating similar questions. \nThis is a series event where we focus on one topic at a time. Sessions will include concepts such as: \n\nThe Identity Shift\nTurning Experience Into IP\nBuilding Your Fractional Offer\nPositioning Yourself Clearly\nFounder Psychology\nNetworking & Relationship Building\nSelling Fractional Work\nThe Emotional Game\nDiagnosing a Business\nDelivering Inside the Client\nManaging Scope Creep\nEmotional Intelligence in Client Delivery\nRecontracting and Renewal\n\nWho it’s for\nSenior executives exploring fractional work and trying to create a business around their experience. \nExisting fractional executives who want to sharpen their positioning\, offer\, and commercial clarity. \nExisting fractionals who want to share their stories\, lessons\, and what has worked for them. \nWhy attend\nTo gain clarity on the fractional journey and start turning your experience into something the market can understand\, remember\, and refer. \nYou’ll also meet other senior executives and fractional professionals working through the same transition. \nAsentiv and SBC VIP? remember to use your special discount code when completing registration. \n   \n  \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC RAK SHE Connects
DESCRIPTION:Women Only \nIf you are a female business owner who understands the value and importance of relationship marketing but has limited time for networking\, then She Connects is for you! \nThis session takes place in a warm\, friendly environment that is focused and result driven. Owners from a range of industries are invited. \nNumbers are limited to ensure the depth of conversation\, connection and comfort. As an outcome this unique curated SBC Deep Dive format generates exponentially more results than the ususal ” quantity based networking”  events most people know. \nQuality over quantity \nWhy Most Networking Doesn’t Work \nMost networking events are designed around one simple objective: helping you meet more people. \nSBC Deep Dives were created around an entirely different objective. \nHelping people truly understand you. \nAt first glance that may sound like a subtle distinction\, but in reality it changes almost everything. \nAfter more than thirty years studying relationship marketing and working with thousands of business owners across eleven countries\, we’ve reached a conclusion that challenges conventional thinking. The biggest obstacle to winning more business is rarely a lack of contacts. More often\, it is a lack of clarity. \nMany talented professionals struggle to explain what they really do. They know their industry inside out\, yet they find it difficult to communicate why clients choose them\, what people are actually buying from them or what makes them genuinely different. Consequently\, networking conversations often remain enjoyable but superficial. We meet people. We exchange business cards. We promise to stay in touch. Yet very few people leave truly understanding one another. \nAnd without understanding\, very little changes. \n“People don’t refer businesses they’ve simply met. They refer businesses they truly understand.” \nThat single belief is the foundation on which every SBC Deep Dive has been built. \nRather than asking\, “How many people can we fit into a room?”\, we ask a different question. \n“What environment allows people to build genuine understanding?” \nThe answer has never been larger rooms. \nIt has always been smaller ones. \nEvery SBC Deep Dive is intentionally limited to around fourteen to sixteen participants. This isn’t about exclusivity. It is about creating the conditions where trust can develop naturally. When people feel comfortable enough to stop performing and start thinking\, the quality of every conversation changes. \nPeople listen differently. \nThey contribute differently. \nThey become curious instead of simply waiting for their turn to speak. \nThat shift alone creates opportunities that rarely emerge in traditional networking environments. \nHowever\, the small group is only part of the story. \nThe real difference lies in what happens around the table. \nUnlike conventional networking events where conversations are left entirely to chance\, every SBC Deep Dive follows a professionally facilitated relationship-building methodology that has been developed and refined over more than three decades. \nThe methodology itself remains proprietary\, not because we wish to create mystery\, but because its value does not lie in a handful of clever questions. Its strength comes from the journey participants experience together. The sequence of conversations. The facilitation. The psychology behind each discussion. The moments of reflection. The shared discoveries. The connections that naturally emerge as people begin to understand one another more deeply. \nIt is a process designed not simply to introduce people\, but to transform how they see themselves and how others see them. \nOne of the most common comments we hear afterwards isn’t about the number of people someone met. \nIt’s something much more revealing. \n“I finally understand what people are really buying from me.” \nThat statement captures everything. \nBecause when someone gains clarity about the value they create\, everyone else gains clarity too. Suddenly introductions become easier. Referrals become more natural. Collaborations appear where previously none existed. People stop describing what they do and begin explaining why it matters. \nThat is why we believe success should never be measured by the number of conversations we have. \nIt should be measured by what those conversations create. \nDid people understand you? \nDid they remember you? \nDid they recognise opportunities for you? \nDid they leave knowing exactly who should meet you next? \nThose are the outcomes that build businesses. \nAs artificial intelligence continues to change the way we communicate\, human understanding becomes increasingly valuable. Technology can help us exchange information faster than ever before. It can automate processes\, write emails and connect us digitally. \nBut it cannot replace trust. \nIt cannot replace genuine understanding. \nAnd it cannot replace the confidence someone feels when recommending another human being. \nThat is why SBC Deep Dives exist. \nNot to help people network harder. \nBut to help them build relationships that matter. \nBecause businesses are rarely transformed by the number of people we meet. \nThey are transformed by the number of people who truly understand us. \n  \n    \nBook Now

The guided questions made it much easier to get to know people\, share key information quickly\, and have more meaningful conversations in a short amount of time. \nI was also impressed by the quality of participants. While we were only a small group\, I really liked the point you made that collectively\, each of us has 100+ contacts within our own networks. When you look at it that way\, the opportunities to connect with more people and help each other grow are actually quite significant. It was a great reminder that the value of the group goes far beyond the people sitting in the room. \nThanks again\, and I’m looking forward to the next event – Adeline Macaraig -Precise Me \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n   \n  \nJoin us. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC Speaks Arabic
DESCRIPTION:This very special event is hosted by our SBC Ambassador\, Elsa Sarkis. This is message is directly from her: \nSBC SPEAKS ARABIC is for Arab and Arabic-speaking business owners\, storytellers\, innovators\, entrepreneurs\, and thought leaders who want to get closer to their Arabic – and actually use it to connect\, collaborate\, and do business. \nWe live in the UAE. Arabic here isn’t “just a language.” It’s identity\, culture\, belonging\, and trust. And if you’re building something in this region\, it makes sense to be able to express yourself in Arabic with confidence and precision. \nThat’s why the next step was obvious: take the SBC networking model – the one that’s already proven to create real opportunities – and curate it for an Arabic community that values learning\, growth\, and high-quality relationships. \nIf you’ve been thinking:\n“I can speak Arabic… but I don’t express myself the way I want.”\n“I want Arabic to feel natural again.”\n“I want to build real relationships in Arabic\, not just small talk.”\nYou’re in the right room. \nThis is a small group (under 16 pax) on purpose. You’ll meet everyone. You’ll be seen. You’ll have time to build real opportunities. \nAnd no—this is not “spray and pray” networking.\nWe use the DEEP DIVE format\, so the session is structured\, focused\, and actually useful. \nCome build your Arabic business circle. Come meet people with standards. Come leave with real next steps. \nAsentiv and SBC VIP: Use your special discount code when registering. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC RAK Design and Build - Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic SBC Deep Dive designed exclusively for business owners and professionals in Construction\, Design\, Real Estate\, and Consulting. This MIXER is your opportunity to expand your network\, build valuable connections\, and engage with industry peers in a productive and supportive environment. \nWhy Most Networking Doesn’t Work \nMost networking events are designed around one simple objective: helping you meet more people. \nSBC Deep Dives were created around an entirely different objective. \nHelping people meet the right people and for them to truly understand you. \nAt first glance that may sound like a subtle distinction\, but in reality it changes almost everything. \nAfter more than thirty years studying relationship marketing and working with thousands of business owners across eleven countries\, we’ve reached a conclusion that challenges conventional thinking. The biggest obstacle to winning more business is rarely a lack of contacts. More often\, it is a lack of clarity. \nMany talented professionals struggle to explain what they really do. They know their industry inside out\, yet they find it difficult to communicate why clients choose them\, what people are actually buying from them or what makes them genuinely different. Consequently\, networking conversations often remain enjoyable but superficial. We meet people. We exchange business cards. We promise to stay in touch. Yet very few people leave truly understanding one another. \nAnd without understanding\, very little changes. \n“People don’t refer businesses they’ve simply met.

SUMMARY:Asentiv PRO- Advanced Client Aquisition
DESCRIPTION:“Asentiv PRO is the accelerator for entrepreneurs who don’t want to chase every deal\, but want the right deals — through relationships\, referrals\, and strategic alliances. If you’re ready to stop working hard for every client and instead build a network that brings you the best-fit clients almost automatically\, this is it. You’ll join a mastermind of peers\, sharpen your positioning\, refine your message\, and build your referral engine — while doing business in your values\, with your community\, with impact.” \nClients work directly with Phil Bedford in collaborative focused sessions. \n“At the end of December 2009 our business was on the point of going bust. Today\, after attending courses with Asentiv things have completely turned around. We have just closed a deal worth 250\,000aed and have two hotels about to sign and I haven’t even finished my training yet!”  Jan Curtis Owner Bare Essentials \n“For a founder trying to establish herself in a new country\, that has been remarkable. I still continue to learn something new from Phil every week. Not just about networking\, but about patience\, positioning\, trust\, visibility and the importance of building a business rooted in genuine relationships. Looking back\, signing up to Asentiv was one of the most important business decisions I made in Dubai. It did not just help me win clients.  It helped me find my footing in a market I was still learning how to navigate. It gave me the confidence\, structure and community I needed at a time when I could very easily have given up and gone home. For any founder or business owner entering the UAE market\, especially if you are used to doing business somewhere else\, my biggest lesson is this:Do not underestimate how important your network is here. And do not mistake networking for showing up in rooms. The real work is learning how to build trust\, create value\, earn referrals\, and become known for something specific.That is exactly what Phil\, and Asentiv helped me do”. -Laura Hockley The Aly Collective \n“Phil Bedford of Asentiv has been influential in the past year and half over the evolution of MoneyLine Family Office as a business and me personally. When I first met him\, I was dubious of the Asentiv courses\, assuming that I took many seminars about prospecting and referrals while attending the Million Dollar Round Table annually in the United States. Today after talking the Asentiv PRO twice within the past 18 months\, I can safely say that my Referral Strategy has shifted 180 degrees\, and I was wrong about my earlier assumption of my knowledge about the subject. The key point in Asentiv PRO Program has provided me with the fundamentals of the Referral Strategy and the philosophy which stands at the core of it. I wished I did Asentiv PRO 5 years ago; it would have saved me a lot of hassle and accelerated my growth dramatically”- Karim Ghandour Owner Money Line Group \n  \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Asentiv PRO- Advanced Client Aquisition
DESCRIPTION:“Asentiv PRO is the accelerator for entrepreneurs who don’t want to chase every deal\, but want the right deals — through relationships\, referrals\, and strategic alliances. If you’re ready to stop working hard for every client and instead build a network that brings you the best-fit clients almost automatically\, this is it. You’ll join a mastermind of peers\, sharpen your positioning\, refine your message\, and build your referral engine — while doing business in your values\, with your community\, with impact.” \nClients work directly with Phil Bedford in collaborative focused sessions. \n“At the end of December 2009 our business was on the point of going bust. Today\, after attending courses with Asentiv things have completely turned around. We have just closed a deal worth 250\,000aed and have two hotels about to sign and I haven’t even finished my training yet!”  Jan Curtis Owner Bare Essentials \n“For a founder trying to establish herself in a new country\, that has been remarkable. I still continue to learn something new from Phil every week. Not just about networking\, but about patience\, positioning\, trust\, visibility and the importance of building a business rooted in genuine relationships. Looking back\, signing up to Asentiv was one of the most important business decisions I made in Dubai. It did not just help me win clients.  It helped me find my footing in a market I was still learning how to navigate. It gave me the confidence\, structure and community I needed at a time when I could very easily have given up and gone home. For any founder or business owner entering the UAE market\, especially if you are used to doing business somewhere else\, my biggest lesson is this:Do not underestimate how important your network is here. And do not mistake networking for showing up in rooms. The real work is learning how to build trust\, create value\, earn referrals\, and become known for something specific.That is exactly what Phil\, and Asentiv helped me do”. -Laura Hockley The Aly Collective \n“Phil Bedford of Asentiv has been influential in the past year and half over the evolution of MoneyLine Family Office as a business and me personally. When I first met him\, I was dubious of the Asentiv courses\, assuming that I took many seminars about prospecting and referrals while attending the Million Dollar Round Table annually in the United States. Today after talking the Asentiv PRO twice within the past 18 months\, I can safely say that my Referral Strategy has shifted 180 degrees\, and I was wrong about my earlier assumption of my knowledge about the subject. The key point in Asentiv PRO Program has provided me with the fundamentals of the Referral Strategy and the philosophy which stands at the core of it. I wished I did Asentiv PRO 5 years ago; it would have saved me a lot of hassle and accelerated my growth dramatically”- Karim Ghandour Owner Money Line Group \n  \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC RAK SHE Connects
DESCRIPTION:Women Only \nIf you are a female business owner who understands the value and importance of relationship marketing but has limited time for networking\, then She Connects is for you! \nThis session takes place in a warm\, friendly environment that is focused and result driven. Owners from a range of industries are invited. \nNumbers are limited to ensure the depth of conversation\, connection and comfort. As an outcome this unique curated SBC Deep Dive format generates exponentially more results than the ususal ” quantity based networking”  events most people know. \nQuality over quantity \nWhy Most Networking Doesn’t Work \nMost networking events are designed around one simple objective: helping you meet more people. \nSBC Deep Dives were created around an entirely different objective. \nHelping people truly understand you. \nAt first glance that may sound like a subtle distinction\, but in reality it changes almost everything. \nAfter more than thirty years studying relationship marketing and working with thousands of business owners across eleven countries\, we’ve reached a conclusion that challenges conventional thinking. The biggest obstacle to winning more business is rarely a lack of contacts. More often\, it is a lack of clarity. \nMany talented professionals struggle to explain what they really do. They know their industry inside out\, yet they find it difficult to communicate why clients choose them\, what people are actually buying from them or what makes them genuinely different. Consequently\, networking conversations often remain enjoyable but superficial. We meet people. We exchange business cards. We promise to stay in touch. Yet very few people leave truly understanding one another. \nAnd without understanding\, very little changes. \n“People don’t refer businesses they’ve simply met. They refer businesses they truly understand.” \nThat single belief is the foundation on which every SBC Deep Dive has been built. \nRather than asking\, “How many people can we fit into a room?”\, we ask a different question. \n“What environment allows people to build genuine understanding?” \nThe answer has never been larger rooms. \nIt has always been smaller ones. \nEvery SBC Deep Dive is intentionally limited to around fourteen to sixteen participants. This isn’t about exclusivity. It is about creating the conditions where trust can develop naturally. When people feel comfortable enough to stop performing and start thinking\, the quality of every conversation changes. \nPeople listen differently. \nThey contribute differently. \nThey become curious instead of simply waiting for their turn to speak. \nThat shift alone creates opportunities that rarely emerge in traditional networking environments. \nHowever\, the small group is only part of the story. \nThe real difference lies in what happens around the table. \nUnlike conventional networking events where conversations are left entirely to chance\, every SBC Deep Dive follows a professionally facilitated relationship-building methodology that has been developed and refined over more than three decades. \nThe methodology itself remains proprietary\, not because we wish to create mystery\, but because its value does not lie in a handful of clever questions. Its strength comes from the journey participants experience together. The sequence of conversations. The facilitation. The psychology behind each discussion. The moments of reflection. The shared discoveries. The connections that naturally emerge as people begin to understand one another more deeply. \nIt is a process designed not simply to introduce people\, but to transform how they see themselves and how others see them. \nOne of the most common comments we hear afterwards isn’t about the number of people someone met. \nIt’s something much more revealing. \n“I finally understand what people are really buying from me.” \nThat statement captures everything. \nBecause when someone gains clarity about the value they create\, everyone else gains clarity too. Suddenly introductions become easier. Referrals become more natural. Collaborations appear where previously none existed. People stop describing what they do and begin explaining why it matters. \nThat is why we believe success should never be measured by the number of conversations we have. \nIt should be measured by what those conversations create. \nDid people understand you? \nDid they remember you? \nDid they recognise opportunities for you? \nDid they leave knowing exactly who should meet you next? \nThose are the outcomes that build businesses. \nAs artificial intelligence continues to change the way we communicate\, human understanding becomes increasingly valuable. Technology can help us exchange information faster than ever before. It can automate processes\, write emails and connect us digitally. \nBut it cannot replace trust. \nIt cannot replace genuine understanding. \nAnd it cannot replace the confidence someone feels when recommending another human being. \nThat is why SBC Deep Dives exist. \nNot to help people network harder. \nBut to help them build relationships that matter. \nBecause businesses are rarely transformed by the number of people we meet. \nThey are transformed by the number of people who truly understand us. \n  \n    \nBook Now
