Stephen decided to enrol in the Resonance program after attending our National Conference AdviserEdge, and having a pointed conversation with Baz about his brand and marketing. Like many successful businesses we encounter, Stephen had already committed serious resources to producing video, content and the digital marketing of his business. Whilst these efforts were producing some results, we call the methodology employed ‘the hard way of doing things’.

In less than 4 months, Stephen has exponentially improved his results, is creating a plan for a far more saleable business model (that relies on him less) and is looking to enrol more of his team members in the program. One of the best steps Stephen took was to also enrol his Marketing Manager Ryan Wood so he could do the program alongside him. Not only does Ryan now have far more context, but he can directly support Stephen to implement.

Sean first contacted us when he was preparing to make the move from employee to business founder. We suggested Sean come along to our one-day event, LaunchDay, so that he could get a handle on how we teach business owners to make growth easy. Sean decided, that despite a standing start, he would invest heavily in working with us. Sean started out by purchasing a small book of clients, and in combination with his Authentic Brand Matrix, Sean has been systematising his service touch points using technology, multimedia and our proprietary process of ‘contextualisation’.

Within a year he has experienced dramatic growth and is launching new divisions. The purchased clients are happier, referring, paying more and take significantly less time to service. Sean is now preparing to launch his personal brand, to take his business within the first few years where most would be lucky to get to in 15.

Emily enrolled in Resonance less than 4 months ago after attending our National Conference AdviserEdge at the start of the year. Emily was a little sceptical about the first 3 months of the program and wanted to skip ahead to the more practical application components. It took a little convincing from Baz that Ignite was in fact the part that Emily needed to do the most. The changes we saw in Emily after just 3 months were astonishing and it would not be possible to put into words what those changes will mean to her business performance and the impact she will have as a Founder, Leader and Change Agent in the future.

“Many people think they have defined their own clarity or would prefer to skip to the ‘business end’. The truth is they haven’t, and Ignite is like the key that unlocks the true value and power of everything that we do at The Social Adviser.” – Baz Gardner

Before working with The Social Adviser, Dominique was already building a significant personal brand, however, the brand and business direction were inconsistent with Dominque as a person, in ‘message’, personality and purpose. Baz took the confronting step of pointing this out to Dominque via a LinkedIn message!

Dominique has since radically changed much of her business plans and is building a personal brand that will establish her as an iconic change agent and leader. She has been a star on a Channel 9 television series on investment and is currently using Facebook and video to reach and resonate with her chosen audiences, and of course, to deliver advice in ways and at a scale that have not been seen before.

Baz met Brett’s colleague Ron, the Founder of Future Auto, a chain of Automotive Service Centres in Queensland, when his car broke down on the way home from the airport after an overseas speaking engagement. The tow truck dropped the car at the workshop at midnight and not only was Ron there by random chance but he also insisted on driving us home! The ensuing conversation was about old school business, using new methods of leverage and the large amount Future Auto was spending every year on radio advertising.

It wasn’t long before Ron and Brett had joined our Resonance Program. Brett is the driver of these new strategies and Ron is the visionary influencer and front man. They are using the principles in the program to recruit new franchisees and to change their message to the public, adapt their business model and shift customer growth from radio to LinkedIn and Facebook for lower cost and greater reach / return.

Baz met Dave in a LinkedIn chat group, where he admitted that his Business Partners had just given him a 360 degree review that indicated he lacked innovation and needed to increase his contribution to the reputation and growth of the business.

Dave has worked with The Social Adviser over the last 4 years through a variety of programs that have helped him to evolve his brand and business leverage. He has also starred on Channel 9, is regularly sought in the Press and has since founded a new firm which is growing at an unprecedented pace. Dave attributes Ignite (the first 3 months of the Resonance program) with taking his social media results to a new level.
