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: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 Mergers & Acquisitions Exclusive Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Helping business owners prepare\, scale\, and exit is never a one-man show. Try to do it alone and you’ll leave money on the table — or worse\, risk bad terms and messy surprises after the sale. \nThe right team makes all the difference. That means: \n\nM&A specialist or business broker to drive the commercial deal.\nTransaction lawyer who knows how to protect the seller in the fine print.\nAccountants and auditors who not only get the books due diligence ready but also help structure the deal so it makes financial sense.\nTax specialists to untangle UAE and international rules\, depending on the owner’s citizenship and circumstances.\nFinancial planner to help the owner manage and invest the proceeds wisely.\nLife coach or advisor to support the identity shift after exit\, especially if the business has been the owner’s whole life.\nBusiness coach/advisor to help the owner structure\, prepare\, and optimise how the business is run so it becomes an attractive candidate for exit. This can include operations consultants\, HR and leadership advisors\, and financial consultants\nBranding experts- who help with rebrands /Brand refresh\nChange consultants\nOther “connected” professions we may have missed.\n\nFor me\, this isn’t theory. I’ve seen too many business owners work for decades only to walk away with less than they deserved\, simply because they didn’t have the right people around them. My work has always been about helping owners create businesses that give them freedom and the life they want today — and financial security tomorrow when they exit and capture the full value of what they’ve built. Partnering with SBC gives me a way to bring the right mix of professionals together so no owner has to face that moment unprepared. \nWhat drew me to SBC is the caliber of the members and the genuine team-first long view mindset. This isn’t a group that is transaction focused or hides behind empty slogans — it’s a community that collaborates\, shares\, and helps each other win. That’s exactly the environment where this program belongs. \nAnd here’s why it matters: 7 out of 10 owners who try to sell fail. Of the few that do exit\, most do so on the buyer’s terms. Our mission at SBC M&A is simple — build the dream teams that flip those odds. These sessions will bring together the professionals who matter most\, so we can collaborate\, form tight partnerships\, and give business owners the exits (and the lives after) they truly deserve. \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 designed 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 designed 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. \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
