SJInnovation Business Development Process

Business Development process is concerned with the detailed stages involved in converting a suspect into a customer. A Business Development process measures the probability of a sale taking place. It reveals whether a potential customer will commit to a deal or not.

• Dig our old client base

Competitors to Partner Up

• Strategic partnerships in this context can take the form of joint ventures, outsourcing agreements or even cooperative research.

If such competitors have overflow  of work, it could easily benefit us and vice versa.

A Short Sales Story 

Many years ago two salesmen were sent to Africa by a British shoe manufacturer. The goal of their trip was to investigate this new market, and to report their findings back to headquarters on the potential of the market. The first Business salesman came back with a rather dismal report, “There’s no potential at all here, because nobody wears shoes”. The second Business salesman came back with a rather different reply, “There’s massive potential in Africa, because nobody wears shoes.”
