Class overview:

• For many companies, 90% of new work comes from repeat clients, which means our greatest sales asset are the teams clients have experience with. This supports the seller/doer model, which means that the project team members, those with boots on the ground, are best suited to procure new work from existing clients.

• Through this session, Danielle Feroleto will speak on four ciritcal levels of business development and how technical staff can specififcally participate.

When you establish and build contractor/client relationships built on a foundation of trust, expertise and proven experience, the team is empowered to pursue work successfully with the support of our partnerships.

• Tasking Project Managers and Project Executives with bringing in new work in addition to their roles within the company, can be demanding, but not impossible. Relationships trump all and the right relationships position you to win.
