Overview

Solutions for business development team

BD teams often rely on personal networks, events and cold outreach that scales poorly. Prospect lists are bought or scraped and go stale quickly, LinkedIn messages are generic, and follow-up depends on each person's memory. Without a CRM process, nobody knows which accounts have been contacted, what was said, or which opportunities are slipping.

We build an ideal customer profile and target account list with your team, then run LinkedIn outreach and Sponsored Content aimed at decision-makers in those accounts, with messaging tested by segment. Responses and meetings flow into a CRM configured for your BD process, with stages, reminders and templates. Weekly reports show accounts reached, replies, meetings and opportunities created, so effort goes where it pays.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Straight answers to the things clients ask us most. If yours isn’t here, just ask.

Still have a question?Talk to a strategist. We usually reply within one working day.Ask us directly
Does LinkedIn outreach still work for B2B lead generation?
Yes, when it is targeted and personal. Mass connection requests with sales pitches get ignored or reported. Short, relevant messages to well-chosen people, supported by useful content and ads in the same accounts, still produce meetings. Respect LinkedIn's limits to protect your accounts.
What CRM is best for a business development team?
One the team will actually use. HubSpot, Zoho and Pipedrive suit most small to mid-sized BD teams; Salesforce fits larger or more complex organisations. Focus on simple stages, mobile access, email and calendar integration, and reminders rather than a long feature list.
Will I get a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. A senior strategist who understands your role and coordinates the specialists behind the scenes.
