Business development is fundamental to the outcome and long term future of every business in the UK. It is about taking control of your own destiny and maintaining your business at the forefront of your industry – it’s that critical.

Building long term relationships at every level across your business, with key points of contact in the sectors in which you operate, will give you first-hand knowledge and allow you to be strategic in your thinking.

Knowing your market and being proactive allows you to react to changes in your business and reflects the environment in which you operate. Invest in your business to meet your clients changing requirements and stay ahead of the competition. Differentiate your business, listen to what people are saying and act upon it. Do not ask “what is the cost?” but “what is the cost of not doing it?”

 

Customers do not want to be disappointed. Know what they expect of you and what your capabilities are to deliver the required level of customer service. You must be knowledgeable, flexible, think differently and know your customers.

Do you have a clear strategy that’s well informed and structured? Do your employees understand? Is the message reinforced regularly and are they on board? It is important to engage at all levels across your business with your customers and supply chain.

Be honest at all times and give yourself. Do not offer what you cannot deliver or make false promises. Customers want the truth – good, bad or indifferent. Deliver on your promises every time, building trust and long term sustainable relationships. Market intelligence should be cross checked for accuracy as you will make big business choices based on this information. Poor judgement could make or break your business if that information is not correct.

Early engagement is fundamental to securing and delivering a successful service to your customers. Adding value through solutions and not “Houston we have a problem” through poor engagement. Business development is about every aspect of your business, knowing your capabilities, understanding your industry and the drivers of your clients, delivering real customer satisfaction.
