A guiding hand and experienced sounding board for business developers looking to up their game. Unleash your inner (bizdev) beast with some mentoring.

Let me guess. You kind of fell into business development, right? It wasn’t part of a master plan.

And whilst you’re happy to have found your calling, you’ve not had much formal training or guidance from your peers. Most of your learning has been on the job. There’s nothing wrong with that. I certainly learnt a lot about what worked (and what didn’t) by just getting on with it.

But if you’re looking to accelerate your pace of learning and career progression, mentoring may be the answer.

Leaning on twenty years of experience in agency business development, I can help you to:

> Define your career aspirations and goals.

> Instil the right mindset, behaviours and habits.

> Proactively build your pipeline via referral programs and high-value prospecting, for example.

> Develop the confidence and skills to lead a consultative sales process.

> Foster consistency in sales reporting and forecasting.

> Improve verbal and written communication, organisation and productivity.

> Discover books, podcasts and other resources to continue your development.

If you think mentoring might be for you, a discovery call is the place to start. By understanding your role, responsibilities, goals and availability, I’ll recommend the most appropriate approach. This can be as simple as a monthly call focused on your most pressing challenges. Or a more structured program of ongoing support.

Whatever the approach, I promise independent advice, two (rather large) ears to listen and the occasional shoulder to cry on.

But hopefully not too much of the latter.

Sound good? Get in touch to explore options over a coffee (or something stronger if you need it).
