FAQ’s What if I need help with strategy?

May 17, 2013 by Karin Schwartz

Answering your questions, have one – email me directly at ks*******@***************ev.com

Do you help with strategy?

Yes, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been called in to simply strategize.  Essentially these are companies who have sales staff who are looking for new, fresh ideas to move sales forward.  I love this part of our work and I do it personally.  There is nothing I enjoy more than figuring out the puzzle piece.  I can see opportunity where you can’t, I can help you get there without doing it for you.  This works exceptionally well with sole proprietors or small sales teams.  We focus on overall strategy, target markets, how and where to find decision makers, what influences them, your unique capabilities, why people buy from you, your process, your presentation, your competition, your strategic partner, etc.  Most importantly we focus on what’s holding you back.  I’m not a coach by any means but I do know sales and I find with most business owners sales is an afterthought .  If you need a business coach I know great ones and will be happy to make a referral.

The initial month of sales strategy and consulting is a full scale evaluation of the entire sales process and it’s a minimum of $2500, each following month is a minimum of $1000.  If you think this is a better fit call the office and ask for Karin at 410-832-7560

Ready, Fire, Aim: Business Development Strategy in Small Businesses

June 15, 2012 by Karin Schwartz

You wouldn’t shoot a gun and then aim, right? So don’t wait until your business fails to realize that you need a business development strategy.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

The above adage holds true in the small business community. Without direction, a business cannot survive. This is why a well-structured and properly implemented business development strategy is so important to the success of your small business.

What is Business Development?

Business development is the combined process of strategic analysis, marketing, and sales to further the success of your business.  These three sectors must work together to in order for your business to realize the full effects of each. Sales cannot thrive without marketing, which cannot thrive without strategic analysis, and so forth and so on.

Without the right business development strategy, your business simply cannot grow and thrive. Still, countless small business owners acknowledge that they have failed to either implement their business development strategy or that they have failed to ever draft a business development strategy.

So what’s next?

Is it Time to consider Outsourced Business Development?

An outsourced business development firm will design and implement a unique business development plan for your small business to help position your business with the right marketing efforts, develop new business opportunities, generate leads, qualify those leads, analyze sales data, win proposals, and make sales.

Business Development & Marketing: Two Business Ideas with One Goal…Sales!

May 25, 2012 by Karin Schwartz

Business development and marketing. They seem like completely separate business concepts, yet the two could not be more intertwined. In fact, believe it or not, marketing is a part of business development!

The role of business development is a combination of strategic analysis, marketing, and sales. It is up to a business development professional to position a business with the right marketing efforts, develop new business opportunities, generate leads, qualify those leads, analyze sales data, win proposals, and make sales.

Without the right business development (and marketing) efforts, your business simply cannot grow and thrive. Still, countless businesses acknowledges that their business development and marketing efforts are not only separate, but they are failing to work together.

In a recent survey conducted of 224 marketers and business developers, it was found that:

  • 54 percent said marketing and business development activities were strongly coordinated.
  • 46 percent said marketing and business development were coordinated sometimes, infrequently, or not at all.
  • 57 percent were not working off the same timeline of demand.
  • 32 percent admitted that no one was managing the overall demand–creation process.

So how can you ensure that your business’ marketing and business development are working together? Well, one way is to outsource your business development needs to the experts at Springboard.

Leadership Development Tips for 2012

December 30, 2011 by Karin Schwartz

What is your New Year’s Resolution? Maybe you want to lose weight, travel more, or stop smoking. Or maybe you want to become a more efficient leader. After all, business development begins with you, the business owner. To grow as a business you must first grow as a leader.

There are lots of things you can do to better yourself as a business leader, but we don’t have enough time to explain them all so we have outlined our top suggestions.

Don’t Neglect the Present to Plan for the Future: Yes, the ultimate goal is to grow your business. But you cannot be so focused on future growth that you neglect the here and now. If you re-direct your focus on current business transactions and work to perfect what your business already does well, the rest will fall into place.

Listening: Listen to what your employees and clients are saying. After all, happy clients provide referrals, which brings in more business and makes you more money. This will make you a happy business owner. And happy employees will work harder and more efficiently, which brings in more business and makes you more money. This will also make you a happy business owner.

So stop talking at people and start listening to what they have to say.

Unlearning: Forget what you think you know about business…it is ever evolving. So stop relying on outdated methods and ineffective techniques. If you want your business to grow and prosper, you must first be willing to change your way of thinking. Just because something worked in the past does not mean it will continue working. Always be on the lookout for new sales techniques and more effective business practices.

Focus on What You do Best & Outsource the Rest: As a business owner, you are pulled in several different directions at once. You are forced to divide your attention between marketing, sales, business growth, customer service, and much more. And there is simply not enough time in the day to give each area of your business the time it deserves. As a result, your business suffers.

You cannot afford to do anything halfheartedly in the corporate world. So what is the solution? What is the best use of your time? Well, unfortunately there is no one answer. Every sector of your business is equally as important as the next.

However, one of the best ways to lessen your business burden is to outsource your sales to a professional business development firm, like Springboard!

Springboard offers outsourced sales solutions for businesses in the professional services arena. It’s simple, while you focus on delivery, we bring our sales expertise and connections to focus on your business development challenges.

If you have any questions, contact Springboard Business Development by calling 410-832-7560 or click here today!

Our approach to business development makes it easy to find new clients without the concerns of sales team turn-over, lack of sales expertise and payroll.
