How NABO has already helped thousands of business owners achieve their goals

NABO currently works with over 51,600 ambitious business owners, helping them build bigger, better businesses. Have a look at what some of them have to say about what they’ve accomplished since they began working with us…

What our clients say about us…

“Through NABO I’ve doubled my profits and released 15 hours a week of my personal time.”

“I joined NABO last November. My challenge was that I was a one-man band running a business, working very long hours and producing a profit but not as much as I wanted. I needed to move the business on and I’d run out of my own ideas.

“Through NABO, I’ve managed to double my profits since that period, I’ve managed to release 15 hours a week of my personal time which I can use to market and advertise my business so I can increase my profits.

“By joining the group of like-minded business owners, I have been able to look at different products that I would probably never have even thought of so certainly I can recommend NABO.”

John Haslam, Owner, Jeeves Magazine & Leaflet Distribution.

“NABO saved me time and encouraged me to raise my prices.”

“It was phenomenal what I learnt at that NABO weekend… it completely changed my mind-set. I discovered that the only way to dominate is to out-market everybody else and that instead of thinking of marketing as a cost, you should think of it as an investment. It was such an important lesson for me.

“NABO has definitely helped me save time… and time is money – and the ideas that Jonathan has given me means I spend more time on more productive activities which I wouldn’t have known about before. I spend time in front of people rather than on all the back-up, administrative stuff that needs doing. It allows me to work on my business not in my business.

“I used to really under-price myself and that’s changed. I have increased my prices. I added more value and made it more of a package, and I’m getting a lot more calls from it now. That’s increased my business.”

Anne Perez

“Really started to improve my business results… Had the best three months ever in seven years…”

“Over the time I’ve worked with Jonathan Jay and the team at NABO I’ve really started to improve my business results through basically being with like-minded business owners who want to get ahead in business.

That’s translated to an actual result – in the first three months of this year, I basically had the best three months ever in seven years and I put that down really to increased focus and working with the team here at NABO.”

Mike Yates, 121 Business Ltd.

“I sold out a group coaching programme worth £60k and I’m now planning a second.”

“I’d been doing traditional marketing for a long time but I knew very little about the new web-based marketing, using squeeze pages, autoresponders and so on. I wanted to get into that because that’s obviously the way marketing is going.

“After the NABO weekend, I decided to set up a series of free two-day seminars about marketing and finances for vets and to use it to recruit people for a 12-month group coaching programme.

“I promoted it in a similar style to Jonathan – I used a single web page with a sign-up option. I filled the first free seminar quite quickly. I now have a waiting list for any more that I want to run.”

Alan Robinson

“… will certainly increase the potential for leads and sales considerably and quickly – they could easily add £25,000 a year to our turnover.”

“I was really looking forward to hearing Jonathan and was not disappointed – he is really insightful, to-the-point and enthusiastic. I am taking away several valuable areas of emphasis which I will be acting on with my team that will certainly increase the potential for leads and sales considerably and quickly – they could easily add £25,000 a year to our turnover.”

Don Elwick, Brighton Media Centre

“Before NABO, we had 100 clients, now we’ve got 800.”

“Many of our new clients are small businesses but we’ve also attracted some really large multi-national companies too.” Those include a multi-national software company with a billion pound turnover and a pharmaceutical giant.

“One of our clients has spent £200,000 with us in the last two months.”

Stefan Boyle, Print Republic

“There is a right way and a wrong way to do business… NABO will ensure that you do things the right way.”

“You may be wondering what NABO could do for your business. Let me assure you that what you learn at this content-packed event can be applied to any business whether you are just starting out or already established. There is a right way and a wrong way to do business… NABO will ensure that you do things the right way. The marketing knowledge you will receive will be priceless.

“To Jonathan…

“I have researched your business and course materials on the website, and was curious to find out more about your services and enquire if it could be useful to the growth of my business. I also saw one of your presentations at a business show, and was impressed by what you had to say.

“The two-day seminar was extremely informative and certainly gave me food for thought regarding how to build my own business. Your experience and advice was very well presented and I would not hesitate to recommend you to other business owners and friends interested in furthering their business skills. Thank you.”

Jenny White

“The quality and amount of content exceeded my expectations – and there was no unpleasant or awkward pressure to buy. And we had some laughs!”

“The quality and amount of content exceeded my expectations – and there was no unpleasant or awkward pressure to buy. And we had some laughs!

Roz Watkins

“Excellent course: two days very well spent working on my business.

“An increase of that magical 33% is so achievable. Why did I not do this before?”

“After 19 years in business, I thought I had most, if not all, the answers. How wrong was I? Things that I had taken for granted such as targeting my database will now be implemented. An increase of that magical 33% is so achievable. Why did I not do this before? Ideas were fast flowing and all were and are easy to implement. It’s made me think outside the box.”

Steve Filary, Filarinskis

“If you want expert knowledge on how to fast track your business, this is the course for you.”

“Before coming on this course I had no idea of how powerful marketing is and how much impact it can have on your business. I now realise it is critical and will spend at least a couple of hours a day dedicating my working life to it. If you want expert knowledge on how to fast track your business, this is the course for you. I can’t put a price on what this weekend is worth to me but I am that confident that what I have learnt will make me more profitable than what I am today. Thank you.”

Veronica Briones, DancemodeEssex

“I realize that using simple marketing techniques I’ll be able to increase my exposure significantly and in turn catapult my profit into the stratosphere.”

“Before I attended NABO’s weekend seminar, I was struggling to find low-cost marketing and PR Solutions for my Health Coaching Business. In fact, I was sceptical that such solution even exists! However, having heard Jonathan Jay and his associates speak, I realize that using simple marketing techniques I’ll be able to increase my exposure significantly and in turn catapult my profit into the stratosphere. The best bit is that I won’t need to spend a fortune to do so!”

David Hompes, Dave Hompes Ltd.

“Loads of great ideas, inspiration and techniques to go forward.”

“Before I arrived at the NABO weekend, I was considering giving up on my business as a lot of money has been invested and sales not where I want it to be. I was not convinced that a free course would really give me tools knowledge and the kick-start I desperately needed. WRONG! It did. Loads of great ideas, inspiration and techniques to go forward. I am not afraid of my competition and am totally fired up to build up my business and win lots of new business. Bring it on.”

Sonia Abrams

“The 2 days were a revelation, I have immediate actions I can use and I am highly motivated to take action.”

“Before I came to the event, I was a little sceptical about how much I might learn and if it would be mainly a sales event for NABO services. However it was a low cost and I knew I had to raise my marketing skills and actions so I thought it was worth the risk. The 2 days were a revelation, I have immediate actions I can use and I am highly motivated to take action.”

Paul O’Connell, Intrablue

“The new actions to be implemented will enable rapid growth of a new part of the business over the next six months.”

This was a completely worthwhile investment of two days of my valuable time. I have a list of business ideas which I’m confident will boost my business significantly. I go forward from this weekend full of confidence and enthusiasm and a fresh list of ideas to implement. Thank you Jonathan for an inspiring 2 days.”

“I go away fired up to get my business from part-time to full-time.”

We were lucky to have good weather and this makes things look good but the event was fantastic.

I will be able to use this idea to the other two firms at a later date, after and during the course I have booked on over this weekend. This weekend was a great eye-opener on a different way to market the firm.”

“Before I came to this weekend I was excited by the prospect of focusing on marketing (our major weakness) but apprehensive that it might not offer information/solutions which were relevant to our business. As the weekend has proceeded and we are now almost at the end of it, I am totally convinced that I have been given sufficient tools to move us to a new level of activity and success. I am very inspired – convinced that marketing is the key – that everything else is secondary. It is a superb seminar.”

I have learnt some great marketing strategies that I can hopefully implement into my business. I feel that this event has given me the boost I needed to follow up my dreams and maximise my potential. Thank you!”

“All in all a great weekend which I highly recommend.”

“I was actually looking forward to the weekend as I am in the process of re-jigging my business to focus on one key area. I had been struggling with how to explain clearly and succinctly just what this is, as it’s not a simple concept to get across. I now have some excellent answers to these questions and can’t wait to get back to start testing them out! All in all a great weekend which I highly recommend.”

Sarah Green

“Now can clearly see that making a few low-cost adjustments can make a difference.”

“At the start of the course I had doubts that I could implement sufficient ideas to see a major improvement in my business profit or customer database. Now, after spending 2 days with NABO, I can clearly see that making a few low-cost adjustments can make a difference.”

Karen Heyes

“Now I am looking forward to taking more control of my business, to generating more income and to spending less time working in the business.”

“When I saw the weekend advertised I was curious to see if I would get a benefit from it. Now I am looking forward to taking more control of my business, to generating more income and to spending less time working in the business.”

Graeme Lang, Lang’s Quality Furniture

“Was little concerned because I wasn’t in business full-time … made me realise I should just start too!”

“Before I came to the NABO event I was a little concerned because I wasn’t in business full-time (I am still in full-time employment working 40+ hours a week). However, attending the event put me in touch with other business owners that have just started in business and made me realise I should just start too!”

Gareth Thomas, Changing Fortunes Ltd.

“Was slightly apprehensive and sceptical. Now think Jonathan can quickly add real value to any business.”

“Before coming on the course I had no expectations. I was slightly apprehensive and sceptical. I now think that Jonathan is generally interested in helping business owners and can quickly add real value to any business. He is super enthusiastic and is a really nice guy.”

David Porter, Knight Lettings

“By attending the events you can grow your knowledge and skills in multiple ways.”

“I have been on various business building courses and believed that I had heard all of it but after listening to Jonathan I realized that there is always something you don’t know and that by attending the events you can grow your knowledge and skills in multiple ways.”

Philip Hutchinson

“Gave me pointers helping me to understand how to revitalise my business.”

“Beforehand, I wanted a vision for the future which the course provided. The weekend gave me pointers helping me to understand how to revitalise my business.”

Bryan Manley, Alchemy Translations

“Became clear on the direction of my business…”

“When I signed up, I was looking forward to get some great marketing tips for my business. Imagine my surprise when I also became clear on the direction of my business, to create a lasting impression on my customers, along with marketing and public relations techniques to increase sales.”

Jason Polis, Super Name

“Real eye-opener to come and find a wealth of practical strategies to make real profit.”

“Before I came to my first NABO training event, I had very low expectations. Although I was aware that my own knowledge was very basic, when I had tried to find courses to improve, I had always found that the trainers didn’t know any more than me. So it was a real eye opener to come here and find a wealth of practical strategies to make real profit. It’s so much at odds with the usual conservative stuff you get from the likes of BusinessLink. The event itself was great, but it was the attitude it caused which was really critical. It was like the scales had dropped from my eyes + I could suddenly see this whole hidden world of real life strategies that had been there all the time + I just couldn’t see them.”

Joanne Roach, The Foodies Books Ltd.

“Blown away by the calibre of people I’ve met and now have new customers, business alliances and great contacts.”

“Before I attended this event, I’d already recognised that marketing would provide the magic ingredient to my business – allowing me to focus all my business activities towards my target market, and saving me weeks of work and getting better results. I learnt exactly what I expected to. What I didn’t expect was the quality of people that I met. I’m blown away by the calibre of people I’ve met and now have new customers, business alliances and great contacts.”

Susannah Brade Waring, Aspirin Business Solutions

“Can now see several ways I can use the knowledge gained to improve my business.”

“Before I came to the event I was not sure whether it would be appropriate to my business, having attended the session I can now see several ways in which I can use the knowledge gained to improve my business. So if you are in doubt also then I would recommend you give it a try also!”

Peter Firth, Utility Warehouse Distributor

“Delivered way more than I expected.”

“After this weekend with Jonathan Jay, I can see what I need to do to improve my marketing and make a real difference. It helped me to take it from thoughts to action to get better results. It delivered way more than I expected.”

Bill McKeown, Bespoke Coaching

“Has given me a road map to follow to generate much more business.”

“Before the weekend seminar there were a confusing multitude of ideas in my head. This weekend has given me a road map to follow to generate much more business.”

Adrian Jackson, Beechwood Design

“Will help me to accelerate my business success.”

“Before I thought I may have gaps in my marketing knowledge. Now completion of the 2 day course this thought was confirmed. I have found a valuable resource in NABO that will help me to accelerate my business success.”

Michael Say, Full Column Ltd.

“Recommend it as valuable and positive to any business…”

“I thought it would be positive and applicable to my business. It was inspiring and the people on the course I spoke to told me they had received direct benefits to their enterprises. I will recommend it as valuable and positive to any business especially the marketing advice and breakout groups’ workshops.”

Glynn Humphreys, Humphreys Data Management

“…an engaging entertaining speaker who has motivated me with his insight and has fuelled my eagerness to promote my business…”

“When I first saw this seminar advertised, I was interested to see if Jonathan had a different approach to inspiring me to market my business better than I have been. I was pleased to encounter an engaging entertaining speaker who has motivated me with his insight and has fuelled my eagerness to promote my business and look to my exit strategy.”

Glen Lobo

“I am absolutely convinced of the value of Jonathan’s teaching…. can take my business through the roof.”

“Before this weekend, I was struggling to decide if I would pursue my new business idea as opposed to consolidate my current one that is safe and comfortable. I was fearful and indecisive to go down that route that my heart is pushing to. After the third exercise, it became apparent that this new business idea is what people want. I was just overcomplicating it. My fellow participants helped me with real effectiveness based on the learning we get over the weekend. When I presented my idea I was surprised to see people wishing to give me their business cards because they were thrilled by the offer. This was really mind-blowing and I am absolutely convinced of the value of Jonathan’s teaching.

“Amazing experience. After a few exercises, people were already queuing to ask for my business cards. That thing definitely works and can take my business through the roof. I need more of that and break the ceiling I put on myself with my beliefs. Thank you Jonathan.”

Michel Delran, YCDINOW Ltd.

“This is a must attend event for every serious business person.”

“Before I came to the event I was apprehensive as to the value to be gained from a free event and how much selling would be done. This could not be further from the truth. The weekend was very informative. However, the most powerful element was the interactive breakout sessions with other business people giving ideas from other industries. This is a must attend event for every serious business person.”

Ian Rogers, A.F. Consulting

“The event was a catalyst for new ideas…”

“Before: Vague ideas of the marketing direction for my business.

“After: The event was a catalyst for new ideas, for challenging and testing those ideas and formulating a realistic and exciting marketing strategy.”

Trevor Lea-Cox, LCA

“I’m so re-energised about the possibility of financial and organisational success.”

“Before I came to the event I felt that I would probably learn something useful and enjoy meeting with a bunch of inquisitive people. Now that I’ve been, I have made some really good contacts and I’m so re-energised about the possibility of financial and organisational success.”

Theodora Bredie, Anne Frank Montessori Limited

“…from early on it became clear that we were being given a lot of valuable information.”

“I wasn’t sure how much useful information to expect. But from early on it became clear that we were being given a lot of valuable information. I am impressed by the clarity of the whole event. This will give any business owner the knowledge, inspiration and enthusiasm to go on and make a difference in his/her income.”

Chris Olchawski, Tutsan

“I believe Jonathan could help any business owner improve and generate qualified leads through their marketing…”

“Before this weekend, I had heard good things about Jonathan from a variety of sources I trusted so wanted to try it out. His strategies, clarity of presentation and energy are amazing and the experience has been phenomenal. I believe Jonathan could help any business owner improve and generate qualified leads through their marketing in a positive and empowering way.”

Joanne Stevens, Dolphin Business Strategies Ltd.

“I would recommend this seminar to all who are serious about promotion and enhancing their business.”

“I was expecting this seminar to be similar to other seminars I have experienced in that “sales in your face” attitude. However, having experienced the 2 days at NABO I was pleasantly surprised as to the professional manner in the way the subjects were delivered to me and experiencing the expertise of a myriad of business owners around me. I would recommend this seminar to all who are serious about promotion and enhancing their business.

Barry Adamson, Sunday Independent Financial Advisors Ltd.

“The course has been the prod that I needed to get off the hamster wheel and back in charge of powering the vehicle forwards again…”

“I was nonplussed about the event before attending. It has been a pleasant event well held by the venue and the staff. We have been well housed and very well fed. It has been more enjoyable than I expected. The course has been the prod that I needed to get off the hamster wheel and back in charge of powering the vehicle forwards again; reminding me of the ideas and focus I had before I starting running on empty.”

Samantha Harrison

“JJ’s ability to zoom straight into the heart of a marketing issue presented by other delegates made me sit up and pay attention.”

“Before I arrived I thought that £145.00 was something I could afford to lose so if the weekend was just a sales pitch, it didn’t matter. I was more than a little sceptical. JJ’s ability to zoom straight into the heart of a marketing issue presented by other delegates made me sit up and pay attention. I also got a lot of ideas from the creativity of the other delegates. I found the sessions structured + focussed, with plenty of time to practice. This helped me quickly get clarity over where I’m going. I decided to sign up for Platinum Group by the end of the first day as I want to get my business right 1st time and believe NABO can help me.”

Prue Canham, Goose Training + Dvpt. Ltd.

“I am going away with dozens of new ideas to ignite our marketing.”

“Before I arrived I had listened to Jonathan’s DVDs etc. but experiencing the course for real has been fantastic and an inspiration! I am going away with dozens of new ideas to ignite our marketing. The networking with the other delegates was great and I picked up a number of ideas from them as well!”
