Do You Know the Next Piece of the Business Development Puzzle?
As business development consultants, in our business development round tables we are often asked “what is the next step?” or do you know the next piece of the business development puzzle. In previous posts, the first two pieces were: 1: build future leaders; 2. teach advanced tactics and process strategy, not theory.
The third piece of the business development puzzle is “Do not resolve for your professionals to make an impact; expect them to make an impact now!” For those who say “I don’t know how to begin”, send them to our Business Development Opportunities Check List in OWN THE ZONE, on Amazon, B&N, etc. It is designed for even the marketing and business development novice to begin a specific weekly/monthly actions program.
Three primary segments are Marketing and Business Development, People, and Internal Marketing. Elementary marketing can begin with the simple marketing bromide,
* Go Where They Go
* Read What They Read
* Know Who They Know.
As for “people”, have your non-marketers considered going to their alumni association meetings, become active in children’s groups such as soccer, or attend the industry associations where their practice focus resides?
And the third segment of our Business Development Opportunities Check List is “internal marketing,” typically the most overlooked marketing asset in every firm and company. How easy are these 3 elements? When can you start the “reluctant ones” on this path for new revenue generation? Go to the “Books” section of our website and begin the journey.
