Twenty-one years. $2.8 billion. One client at a time.

Hear what industry leaders have to say about BusinessNET

Forbes CNBC HuffPost Digital Journal Influencive

Ben Simkin started BusinessNET in 2005. He was 24. He'd just sold his first company — an IT business he'd started three years earlier, after teaching himself five programming languages and getting kicked out of school at 16.

His first marketing client was Canterbury Property Services. He didn't know how to do marketing. He figured it out. Canterbury was doing $30 million a year. Within 12 months, that number was $115 million.

That was twenty-one years ago. Canterbury is still a client. They do $180 million now.

When Facebook launched advertising in 2009, Ben was one of the first to run campaigns on the platform. He hasn't stopped since.

The Huffington Post called him "the world's number one Facebook marketer." He's been featured in Forbes, CNBC, and Business Insider. He's a regular contributor to Entrepreneur.com with over 17 published articles. He organised the Gary Halbert Memorial Event in Las Vegas alongside Bond and Kevin Halbert. He's a student of Jay Abraham's Strategy of Pre-eminence.

He's the author of The Time Architect, Confessions of a Marketing Agency Millionaire, and Stack the Deck. He's generated over $100 million from his own ventures in addition to the $2.8 billion for clients.

Canterbury Property Services
They were doing thirty million when we met them. Nobody else had touched their marketing. We started with email — renting lists, targeting demographics, running direct response campaigns. It worked. When Facebook opened advertising in 2009, we moved everything there. Canterbury grew to $115 million in the first year. Then kept growing. They do $180 million a year now. We still run their marketing. It's been twenty-one years.

ZTI — Property Marketing
ZTI marketed properties for developers. They needed qualified buyers — people with the income and equity to actually get a loan. Not just leads. Qualified leads. We built a funnel that pre-qualified every prospect before they spoke to a human. Over eleven years, $300 million worth of property was sold through leads we generated.

FAA had spent half a million dollars on telemarketing. Nothing. They were referred to us by another client. First month was slow. Second month, they signed their first new client. By end of year, they'd done $10 million in finalised business. Over the following years, tens of millions more. They stayed with us until the owners retired.
