How Technical Professionals Can Be More Successful at Business Development
Increase Effectiveness
Overcome Fear & Procrastination
Win More Contracts
Webinar Overview
Let's call it what it is. Business development is sales, and the sooner you understand the mathematics of sales, learn a few basic but highly effective sales techniques, and discover how to fit "business development" into your busy schedule while still meeting all your technical deadlines, you'll be able to:
-
Enjoy a higher success rate winning more and better contracts
-
Experience a lot less stress
-
More rapidly advance your career by creating sustainable top and bottom line growth for your firm
The ability to succeed in business development is an acquired skill, and like any sport, technique matters. There is a right way (i.e., the most effective way) and there are many wrong ways to do it. Learning the right way will help you improve more rapidly, and the better you get, the more fun and lucrative it becomes.
Unlike architecture, engineering, and construction, where failure is not an option, failure is the price of success in sales. But, although you will likely fail more than you succeed, when you understand the mathematics of sales you can leverage this knowledge to increase your effectiveness and experience success a higher percentage of the time with a lot less effort and a lot less stress.
There is always more to be done than there is time to do it, or is there? By following some simple guidelines you'll find that you have more time than you think. This will allow you to fit business development into your busy schedule while still giving your existing clients the attention they deserve and consistently and reliably meeting your deliverable deadlines.
