Business Development Overview:

Many small to medium sized organizations neglect to establish structured business development
programs, instead relying upon existing contacts to ensure ongoing sales.  This approach relies
solely on properly leveraging current relationships in place of developing additional opportunities.  
This increases the level of risk to the organization by limiting options for adjustment within a
constantly changing economic environment.

Effective business development incorporates a number of methods to create and grow an
organization.  The full extent of business development entails the following: concept and brand
development (organizational identity), gathering of marketplace intelligence (customers and
competitors), marketing, lead development, customer service, proposal writing, and business
model design.  It is extremely important to note that business development is an ongoing process
as many of the factors are in a constant state of change, which in turn influences the
effectiveness of the organization.  What is effective today may not be effective tomorrow!!
