New Business Development

 

… the starting point for sales breakthroughs and an invaluable testing ground for new business ideas

The QMP Marketing & Sales Engine model (shown below-right) illustrates how a well-functioning organization works.  

 

Business Development is the critical link between Market Strategy and Sales in a quality marketing process.  The Business Development step reduces risk and expense, while increasing the the speed and probability of success of new product launches.  It permits testing of new strategic market initiatives without disrupting a company’s main sales operation.

 

Business Development comprises:

· Formulating and testing the value proposition with targeted accounts

· Developing the channel to market (distributors, sales reps, service and support)

· Validating a new products value-proposition and differentiation with customers

· Validating the economics of the offering — from the perspectives of both the customer and the company

· Testing the price point and recommending pricing adjustments

· Testing out the sales story, process and tool kit

· Feeding back critical information for rapid strategic adjustment

· Building early success, resulting in case studies, testimonials and documented successful results
