About Us
Ben's first business growth book.
"Selling for Dummies™" which Ben has been asked to rewrite for the UK market
Ben Kench has built a reputation as the UK's number one SME business growth specialist. He is the author of the successful book, "How to Grow Your Business and enjoy More Money, Less Stress!", and when the publishers of the world famous and respected Dummies™ guides wanted "Selling for Dummies" rewritten for the UK they turned to Ben to do the work. This will be published in the summer of 2007.
Ben has spent over 20 years in sales and marketing within various industries, working for both himself and large corporates. Some of this was overseas in demanding sales environments where he learnt and honed skills that are simply not taught in many environments in the UK.
When Ben returned to England he began his own small business. It was then that he realised there was much more to learn... and not much in the way of expertise available for help.
Using his company as a vehicle, Ben developed multiple strategies, products and processes to revitalise small businesses and help them to increase sales and maximise returns.
It's not uncommon, in fact, for Business Booster clients to enjoy 100%, 200% and even 300% growth whilst often adding a million pounds or more to their company turnover. Indeed, over the last 5 years the business has delivered programmes to over 200 companies and has boosted profits/revenue by a total of over £800 million.
Ben's programme, 'The Business Booster™' is now gaining national recognition and the company is often approached by The Chambers of Commerce and the Business Link to assist with their performance objectives.
Having established and tested his systems for acquiring clients and delivering his products and services, and creating a business with predictable returns, Ben decided that it was the perfect time to expand the business by selecting suitable people willing to invest in their own skills and the Business Booster™ processes.
During his courses people would regularly say that they would love to do what he does so finding the initial candidates was not difficult.
Having only started recruiting in late 2006, there are already 2 franchisees and the time is now right to roll out the scheme nationwide and then internationally.
Business Booster has built an enviable reputation for revitalizing senior management and delivering superb results. To read about what our clients think of us see the testimonials.
