About Us
The Rockstar Mentoring Group is the UK's Number 1 mentoring organisation for business owners looking to grow or raise finance. Since its establishment in 2007, our mission has been to help businesses at the SME level, Established and Start Up level, fast track their sales and profit growth by providing experienced and successful mentors on a one to one, face to face basis.
With over 50 mentors to choose from, covering more than 25 different industries nationwide, Rockstar mentors are all successful business owners who are passionate in helping other businesses achieve their growth objectives.
Founded by Jonathan Pfahl, an ex-Goldman Sachs Wealth Manager and Chaired by Mr Oliver Rothschild, Rockstar have built a phenomenal team of mentors, successful in their own right but capable of passing on that success to other businesses.
The key benefits of having a mentor in your business are:
Experience: Learning from the experience and mistakes of more experienced business owners.
Guidance: Having a mentor guide you through achieving the objectives of your business, both short and long term.
Contacts: Leveraging off their contacts to help open new doors for your business.
Accountability: Mentors make sure that the goals and objectives that have been set in your business are achieved.
The mentoring packages that Rockstar provide are very structured and aligned to businesses at different levels. The 3 levels Rockstar breaks them down into are SME's, Established Businesses and Start Ups.
We then tailor your mentoring requirments around the challenges your business is facing and the help you require. The table below shows how we align those requirements. As you will see, regardless of the size of your business the 3 pillars that all business owners need to have strong hold of is its sales, its finance and its operations.
Maintaining a strong gross margin after taking into consideration all 3 pillars is what will continue to give your business the opportunity to grow. The higher the margin, the more capital you have to reinvest into the business to increase sales, manage operations and finance and continue to increase the number of happy customers.
It is then when you have a good margin business with a large number of happy customers that your brand begins to become valuable.
This diagram is the model used to help Rockstar tailor its mentoring program for you. In your initial session with your mentor, it needs to be clearly outlined as to what areas of your business that you require help with. Based on the challenges that you currently face, your mentor will explain how to overcome those challenges, then set objectives and time frames to overcome those challenges. You then work together over that time frame to achieve it.
Mentoring is a very personal business and having the right mentor on board is absolutely vital. So please do contact us now for help in finding the best mentor for your business.
“The SME mentoring package works very well for me as it has allowed me to gain huge insight and knowledge from a entrepreneur more experienced than me, without the expectation of a large salary, a place on the board and instant equity. It was much more cost effective and more beneficial than the so called ‘traditional’ route of gaining such knowledge.” Mike Watkins, Rockstar SME mentee and MD of Multifurnish Ltd.
"As an Established Level Mentee, I have found Rockstar's service and process to be invaluable. As a Director of a business seeking equity investment the advice and support in preparing our investment proposal has been first class. Their mentoring process has given us the confidence needed to drive the business to the next level." Chris Bevan, Rockstar Established Mentee & Director of FAIISE
“When I first came to Rockstar, all I had was a business idea that I thought would work but had never run a business before. 6 months on, thanks the guidance of my mentor, my business is up and running, growing and Rockstar themselves have backed me.” Saad Raja, Rockstar Start Up mentee and founder of Vidstar Recruitment.
Rockstar Mentoring is about establishing a key objective to be achieved between mentor and mentee over the course of their time together, which is usually 12 months (but can be tailored to suit shorter time frames). Then working on a monthly basis to achieve it.
