Getting your consultancy's   business development  approach aligned with your target audience's expectations

Are you seeking help to build and grow the foundations for a solid business development footprint in consulting? The one that delivers measurable results and withstands the test of time?

I can help with short virtual interventions, 2-hour virtual workshops, half-day or full-day classes (virtual or live in West Europe), or 2-day boot camps in a retreat format.

Everything is possible.

 Who  this workshop service is designed for

Small
consultancies

Boutique firms and small consultancies that are struggling to grow their business and compete with larger firms on the market.

Medium-sized consultancies

Firms that originally experienced significant growth but whose business development and growth activities have reached a plateau.

Practices within large consultancies

Practices lagging on their growth targets or looking to expand their client reach through sustainable business development activities.

Here's what my workshops entail

  • During my workshops, I will take your firm's consultants through all my experiences, both as a consultant and as a guide and trainer for other consultants. The ultimate goal is to improve the way you do business as a consultancy and how your consultants approach business development, marketing, and sales;
  • The workshop is organized for a small group of 6 to max. 10 participants.

What will your consultancy get out of the workshop?

  • I will be teaching the participating consultants a proven step-by-step approach to creating and growing their reputational footprint in their expertise domain;
  • I will do an assessment of your current consulting business with a short status report that we will discuss during the workshop;
  • I will share best practices of how other consultancies have been doing ‘quick fixes’ so you can make impactful changes fast;
  • Your consultancy will receive tools, templates, and checklists to improve your positioning and grow your consultancy business;
  • We will have a thorough group and individual discussions about existing gaps, needs, and goals of your consultancy;
  • I will do several deep dives on topics such as positioning, market visibility, focus and diversification,  educating the target audience, developing social proof, and packaging/scaling consulting services;
  • I will help your consultancy set goals and plan a long-term business development strategy.

The main objective? The day after the workshop, your consultancy will start a new era of sustainable growth, and your business development approach will never be the same again. Promised!
