Maintaining a healthy pipeline requires a combination of nurture of existing customer accounts and new ideas to invigorate the sales process, help find new leads and win new business. Of course the flip side we want to avoid, if the pipeline is neglected, are the negative effects of missed opportunities or potential operational downtime later in the year; it is easier to maintain momentum with customer relations and the sales process than re-build it.
Bringing in additional Business Development resource helps boost capacity of the sales team, enabling you to be responsive to customers even in the busiest of times and maintain the pipeline even if key people are temporarily absent or on leave.
Taking advantage of having someone with an external perspective also presents an opportunity for your team to pool their thoughts. We can co-create new ideas and approaches, which may prove invaluable in unlocking key accounts and prized opportunities, motivating the team to think bigger and achieve more.
Business Development support
Customers may be identified within your existing networks or by building outwards.
With a technical insight into the design and development process, we can lead exploratory discussions in scoping out an opportunity and build an understanding of the stages in procurement to create a compelling, well-rounded proposition.
Collaboration
We are able to support your team though periods of absence of key individuals, or where the focus is to help mobilise technical resources in sales activities.
We offer flexible, short term business development support for your business when you need it.
We bring with us both the experience of business development in a consultancy setting as well as experience of procuring consultancy services. By sharing our insights and experiences, we can co-create improved sales processes and new initiatives to grow sales.
After sales support
We will provide project review support, if you need it, for the life of the projects we help sell.
All business development discussions we have will be treated in confidence. We take confidentiality seriously. We will act only if we are free to do so, without conflict of interest.
Normally a confidentiality agreement will be put in place ahead of any detailed discussions, following an exploratory conversation to understand your general requirements. If you decide to proceed, then this agreement will apply to our working relationship.
We have experience in medical, consumer, and industrial sectors and would be willing to support the business development activities of consultancies, OEMs, or CDMOs serving these industries.
If the development of physical products is central to your business, then we should talk.
Our experience is with the development of physical products and the supply of engineering analysis, laboratory testing and prototyping services that support their development.
We are capable of injecting business development support into any of these areas!
Sure! Please contact us.
We normally suggest an initial exploratory meeting to align on requirements. This will be an opportunity for introductions and for us to explore together what may be needed and how we may help.
We suggest think in terms of a minimum of 3 months business development support to feel the benefit of the collaboration; it depends on the scope of the work agreed and what you are looking for.
It is best to talk about budget after building an understanding of your needs. Please get in contact and we can take it from there.
As a guide, an indicative budget price for business development support would be £22,950 + applicable taxes per month, over 6 months, subject to agreement on scope and contract.
We would love to hear what you think and explore with you next steps for the greater success of your business.
