Topics

How to Grow a Business Without Spending a Single Cent
(The Attitude story: $50 to $37 million)

This keynote is the real-world growth story of how I built Attitude from $50 into a global licensing brand turning over $37 million per year without big budgets, investors or fancy marketing.

It’s not theory. It’s practical business fundamentals. How to create demand, build a brand, win customers, get referrals, and scale by doing the simple things most businesses ignore. This keynote is fast, funny, blunt, and packed with “I can do that” ideas that business owners and teams can apply immediately.

Best for: Franchise conferences, business growth events, leadership conferences, sales conferences

Key Takeaways: People walk out seeing growth differently and realising the next level isn’t out there, it’s in execution.

The Year of the Customer

Most businesses say customers matter, but if you look closely, the customer is often the first thing compromised when things get busy.

This keynote is about what happens when a business stops putting customers “somewhere on the list” and makes them the priority. It’s a practical, high-energy session on how to build loyalty, retention and reputation through customer experience, communication, follow-through and standards.

It’s not fluffy customer service. It’s commercial. Because in today’s market, businesses aren’t losing customers because of price. They’re losing customers because they feel ignored, rushed or treated like a number. When that changes, customers refer like crazy because of how the FELT, not what price they paid.

Best for: Franchisors, service-based industries, retail, automotive, health, teams with high customer contact

Key Takeaways: Teams walk away understanding what customers really want and how to consistently deliver it.

Service Rebellion™

Service Rebellion™ is movement businesses are tapping into to walk away from average.

Customers don’t want perfection. They want certainty. They want follow-through. They want to feel like they matter. But in a world of automation, self-service, and low standards, service has become inconsistent and transactional.

This keynote shows leaders and frontline teams how to rebuild service standards, create staff accountability, and deliver a customer experience people actually talk about. It’s powerful because it’s real, it’s practical, and it gives teams a standard to rally behind.

Best for: Franchise networks, customer-facing teams, organisations wanting to lift culture, CX and leadership standards

Key Takeaways: A shift in mindset and behaviour, where service becomes a standard, not a slogan.

Your business knowledge, practical insights and humour had the room engaged from start to finish, and you made 90 minutes feel like 20. Our attendees were talking about your content for the rest of the conference and many asked if we could get you back. We’ll definitely be having you back again. MSI Group
