Description

Business development is a broad topic, but in short, it covers everything that people in an organisation do to make that business grow. From creating a business development strategy to finding potential clients, developing your business can feel like a daunting journey; our business development training course covers what your employees need to know and do to take your business to the next level.

  • Tailored to you. The business development journey of every business is different, so we’ll discuss your needs in advance of the training course, focussing on your and the attendees’ objectives.
  • Interactive and engaging. Our business development course is packed with exercises, opportunities for discussion, case studies and scenarios for delegates to explore, improving their confidence in implementing a business development plan.
  • Need help to secure clients? We’ll cover the techniques that will increase the likelihood of making client deals and address challenges delegates may experience. If you’d like to increase the number of clients on your records, this course is for you.
  • Expert trainers. Our trainers are carefully selected for their teaching abilities and style, and their practical, on-the-job experience of what they’re teaching. They know first-hand the difficulties of business development and can point attendees in the right direction for success.
  • Take action. At the end of the training, attendees will complete personal action plans with direction and advice from our trainers. This will ensure they hit the ground running when returning to work.

Elite Training has over 25 years of experience delivering high-quality Learning and Development (L&D) training to a variety of businesses, so we are conscious of challenges and practicalities when it comes to growing an organisation. We can work with you to meet your goals and reach your organisation’s potential.

First impressions can make or break a business deal, and building strong connections with clients can lead to a long-term working relationship. Our course suits anyone directly involved in planning business strategy and those responsible for implementing it, whether they’re reaching out to potential clients or the first port of call for clients enquiring about your services.

By the end of your business development course, delegates will be able to:

  • Identify and approach potential clients with care and confidence
  • Build rapport and relationships with different people
  • Follow up on potential leads to generate new business
  • Break the ice and find common ground when networking
  • Act with autonomy during the business development process
  • Spot opportunities and build relationships to fulfil them
  • Set objectives for their contribution to business development
  • Identify and share different approaches and ideas with others.

Ultimately, business growth.  Depending on your course objectives, this may be from networking, approaching potential clients, developing relationships with leads, or building relationships with existing clients.
