Business Model - Internal Hire
Delivered By - Junior / Middleweight
Hiring a business development manager can benefit your business through increased sales, market expansion, and networking. However, will you have to do the strategic planning? Most of our clients consider the cost of failure, they’re at the right size for hiring (and many have a team already) but is the stage of your business right if like most SME business owners, you worry about getting the hire wrong? Lack of clarity on this and existing team competency means most of our clients want it done for them so they can support other areas of the business. Evaluate your needs, resources, and growth objectives to make an informed choice.

Dedicated internal resource

Business Model - Delivers Strategy Only
Delivered By - A Senior Consultant
Business development consultants are often ex sales directors who work with a few clients every quarter and live a very nice life. They do what we do at the beginning of every client engagement – strategy, go to market, fit to market, assess assets, write the plan down…but then they stop and you have to go to option one or two (hiring or engage a lead gen agency) to activate anything. For us, they never did enough – although they are valuable if you have a larger BD team who maybe need some fine tuning. For our target market, small or no BD teams – they aren’t the right fit, in our opinion.
What they deliver
-
Strategy for you to implement
-
Flexible arrangements
-
External perspective and viewpoint
Business Model - Delivers leads only
Delivered By - Lead Generator
Lead gen agencies come in many shapes and sizes, often promising results through the specific channel they have as their weapon of choice. They are fabulous if you have the time, skills and patience to work with them. Genius and flawed at the same time, we believe they are great for businesses with existing teams, you can manage and nurture the opportunities. We haven’t worked with a business yet who believes they got full advantage of the lead gen model, and thats not the fault of the lead gen agency. They stop at getting a response or booking the meeting, the hardest and longest part is nurturing the client to the meeting and through the various swim lanes in the pipeline to close.
What they deliver
-
Increase leads but don't close
-
Scale depending on your needs
