* Maintain communication with the prospective client to show you’re keen to win the business and to prove you are eager to begin the project.

* Thank the client for the opportunity to present your firm and possibly work with them.

* Gauge the success of the presentation by the win or loss of the business, or the company’s reaction and don’t forget that future business still counts as a success.

* So make sure you stay in touch and always conduct “post mortems'” with your team. .

Do You Have a 4-Phase Client Acquisition Plan?? YES — YOU!

Allan Colman

Do You Have A 4-Phase Prospective Client Plan ?

YES, SPEAKING TO YOU!

The “game” you play with a prospective client isn’t much different from a sports game. Closing the deal – securing the win – is all about successfully executing a strategic action plan. Just because you might be the best for the job doesn’t mean you’ll win the business. Preparedness matters and planning ahead is vital to the success of presenting yourself and your company to a prospective client.

How can you prepare? How can you know that you’ll be able to answer each and every question that may be asked? Start by trying to find any business-related literature about the prospect that you can get your hands on and determine how your firm stacks up to their needs.

To make sure your firm’s representatives are ready to meet with a client, you’ll want to implement the following 4-phase preparedness plan:

Phase One: Do Your Homework.

• Define your current relationship with the company.

• Review the company’s recent history, policies, business ventures, lawsuits, products and services, and any possible openings within the company for additional work.

• Find out which companies and competitors the company has currently engaged and how you measure up against them.

• Learn who makes the major decisions in the company: the direct customer, the financial officer, an executive, or someone else.

THE TOP “5” BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MYTHS

THE TOP “5” BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MYTHS

To really understand what successful business development is, you must understand what it is not.

Myth #5: ONCE YOU’VE RETAINED THE CLIENT, BUSINESS GENERATION CEASES.

Myth #4: CUSTOMERS WANT SELLERS TO DO MOST OF THE TALKING.

Myth #3: WHEN IT COMES TO MARKETING, ONE SIZE FITS ALL.

Myth #2: SALES PROFESSIONALS SHOULD STEP INTO THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS ONLY AFTER THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT DEVELOPS A STRATEGY.

Myth #1: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING ARE INTERCHANGEABLE TERMS.
NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH!

ARE YOU USING THE “5” KEYS TO GENERATING LEADS?

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
– Arthur Ashe

What can you do differently from your competitors to achieve real results from lead generation efforts? The key is to identify both effective and underutilized assets:

* Interview professionals and management;
* Research experiences with past clients/customers and most frequently used firm services;
* Assess current business development strategies and methods;
* Brainstorm with firm management and offer action options for immediate implementation;
* Build a Strategic Action Implementation Program.

This “action plan” keeps the client’s professionals and marketing teams on track with time schedules, personnel assignments, targets and real accountability.
It works with metric-accountability.
