Business Development Accelerator

Optimising the performance of business development teams to deliver sustainable success 

Our highly effective Business Development Accelerator tool enables in-house sales and business development teams to improve their efficiency, competitiveness and win rates.

Business Development Accelerator enables organisations to tap into our team’s extensive sales and business development consultancy experience, evidenced through our proven track record of winning £billions in public services tenders in a range of sectors across the globe. Through practical tools and achievable milestones, we deliver tangible improvements for our clients, regardless of their size, scale, and industry, across the entire business development cycle.

Our approach

Our business development specialists take the time to get to know your existing business model and the teams responsible for managing your sales. We’ll examine all aspects of your process, from sales strategy and client engagement through to commercial modelling and bid production. We’ll deliver an in-depth analysis, covering People, Systems and Processes to create a quantified maturity assessment and recommended improvements. 

Review, Measure, Deliver

The Business Development Accelerator defines and assesses the eight key stages required to build, manage and refine a successful business development function.

Across each stage we develop a clear strategy to help business development and sales’ teams (and the whole business) understand the key objectives that need to be achieved to deliver success. Relevant, clear and measurable success criteria ensure that progression can be monitored and continuous improvement delivered.

Our business development specialists use the Business Development Accelerator methodology to perform a detailed, systematic review of your existing business development approach, delivering a quantified maturity measure for each of the eight stages and supporting you to deliver tangible improvements. 

Tailored Support

Once our team have reviewed the ins and outs of your business development approach and measured its overall efficacy, we are able to offer a wide range of tailored interventions targeted at key areas in need of development. This may include bid writing training; strategy support; bid and/or commercial templates; and 1-2-1 coaching sessions with Senior Business Development experts.
