  • Thursday 25 March 2010 -
    How to define the best prospects and win the work that you want

This event will be relevant to anyone involved in business development, whether marketers or fee-earners.

With pressures to bring in new income it is easy to believe that it's a 'numbers game' – the more companies you target, the more likely it is that some new business will come your way.

But is that the right approach, given the constraints of your resources? How can you decide whether company A would be a better prospect than company B? How do they fit in to your business plan? If a prospect doesn't turn in to a client, how do you find others to ensure that you end up with a flow of new business?

  • May 2010 - How professional service firms can best utilize social networking and digital marketing opportunities
  • June 2010 - How to develop a BD pipeline and keep things going through
  • September 2010 - Joint event with Managing Partners’ Forum - How can marketing and senior management work together to maximize ROI effectiveness?
  • November 2010 - Joint event with DMA SW – Dos and Don’ts of Database Management for Professional Services
