Eight Steps to Successful Business Development:
- Vision
- Appreciation for the risk vs reward
- Business plan
- Commitment
- Investment
- Execution
- Review
- Adapt
Vision: an idea or ‘spark’ that generates excitement about the future.
Risk vs. Reward: an appreciation for the risks associated with the idea and the potential profit to be gained.
Business Plan: A plan makes you think, really think about how to take an idea and make it into a tangible reality. The ultimate value of a plan is it makes you question yourself, validate and measure the future.
Commitment: Success requires commitment and support by the senior management team and front line staff for execution.
Investment: Business development will require investment of resources.
Execution: Putting foot to pavement and getting the work done.
Review: To identify what has been achieved vs plan, measure success and identify adjustments to be made
Adapt: Business development is a journey and will require flexibility to adjust to the changing environment.
