Do you avoid new business development like the plague? Do you define new business as “cold calling,” “sales” or “marketing”? Are you ready to transform how you think about new business? We will focus on strategies for building authentic, one-to-one relationships with prospects that take time, focus, ongoing nurturing, and a change in tactics. Business development, when done well, can be a fun, challenging, and a rewarding aspect of any successful business. At this event, you’ll learn why you might change your thinking about what new business development really is, and better ways to do it.
