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
