Becoming a Business Development Rainmaker

Leadership Mandate & Backing• The Charter and a Real Job Description

Becoming a Business Development Rainmaker

Tools of the Trade• CRM solution – at the heart of BD: Core capability

Rollout / Reinforce / Repeat• Remember the Human Element in the mix

• BD is responsible for combining the people, technology, processes and systems

• Getting “buy in” is critical, as is detailed training

• Everyone needs to understand the “why” as well as the “how” of any new steps

• Reinforce the value and end game … constantly.

Leverage every early success to encourage good behaviorSee, it works!!! Let’s keep it up

Share Information Liberally … as much as your internal “continuum” will allow• Practical considerations govern the degree of

information transparency

• Management access versus general access

• Details for “my” clients versus the “firm’s” clients

Share what you canKnowledge truly is power; more really is better; and success does breed success

- Broad business objectives for the firm

- Granular details tied to individual initiatives

• Baselines are needed to determine change

• Measuring and quantifying are necessary “evils” for making improvements and determining what happens next

What you measure gets done
