Cohort-based Course

Win, Retain and Grow More of the "Right" Clients through a Tight & Focused Business Development Strategy

Course overview

Time is your most precious asset. Where is your BD team spending it?

Sales: Are your sales efforts laser-focused on high-value prospects? Or is valuable time, energy & resources being squandered on misaligned targets and opportunities?


Marketing: are your marketing efforts generating qualified prospects? Or are you casting too wide-of-a-net and occupying your sales team with misaligned leads?


Customer Success: are you Account Managers investing thoughtful & pro-active time with your best client? or are they being bogged down by reactive tasks from bottom-tier accounts?


In this live 2-hour workshop, we present a powerful, customizable framework designed to optimize your most valuable asset: your time. This framework is adaptable across sales, marketing, and account management functions.


In this course, you'll examine your current & historical revenue streams, discern the unique characteristics of your best (Blue Chip) and least desirable (Graveyard) clients, and craft a strategic blueprint for resource allocation.


By the end, you have the foundation to align your sales and marketing efforts and the clarity to maximize your account management resources.
