About Ben Seelen

Kia ora, I've sold thousands of quality Rain Ponchos to elderly women in the US & Canada, spent hundreds of thousands of my own money on Facebook ads and driven millions in email revenue for clients. But that's not all I'm about. Let me tell you a story that shows you who I am.When I was living in Mexico, I discovered a nearly-empty bar with a great owner and cheaper prices than the more popular bar nearby. It was so good, I just couldn't understand why it was so empty.So I offered to throw an event there on Thursday. I spent the next few days frantically hanging up posters, buying decorations, running Facebook ads etc. When Thursday arrived, the line to get in was out the door and around the corner. The owner was thrilled and gave me a huge hug, with the biggest smile. "Ben, look what you've done!" At the end of the night (party of the year by all accounts), the owner gave me a handful of cash - "your cut of the bar take". He was so impressed with the success of the night that he offered me a 30% cut of all future sales for the rest of the year. I couldn't say no (so I said yes).That experience taught me the power of finding and creating opportunities. It's a skill that I've honed over the years and one that I bring to every project I work on. Whether it's selling rain ponchos or helping businesses grow through email marketing, nothing beats helping an owner grow their business and have that same feeling that I did with the bar owner that night.So if you own a business (I don't really do the bar party thing anymore) and want some help with getting more out of your business, get in touch.

Ben Seelen Work Experience Details
  • Freelance
    Email Marketing Expert
    Freelance Jun 2021 - Present
    Manly, New South Wales, Australia
    "I send emails for a living", is a fairly boring answer to the "what do you do" questions. What makes it less boring, is that your email database is the second most valuable part of your business (you're the most valuable, nothing will beat that). And if you're anything like me when I was running my own brand, you know you should be emailing your customers more, but somehow it ends up at the bottom of the endless list of things to do. That's where I come in. I help your business build better customer relationships through email. The key words are 'your business'. I don't apply copy-paste strategies, I look at your business and what will work for you customers, your business goals and most importantly, you!I've worked with over 30+ brands like Rugby Bricks, Between Two Beers, BePure & Real Meals.Reach out if you want some help with your email marketing.
