WHAT IS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & HOW
CAN i HELP YOU?

When you think of Business Development, you think B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) relationship, but in actual fact it’s H2H (Humans to Humans – but VIRTUALLY!!!). Even though COVID-19 has changed how businesses will operate moving forward, having your own Virtual Business Development Manager working alongside you and your team ‘virtually’ is pivoting the ‘new way’ you need to do business to succeed.

Why do you need face to face meetings anymore? Consider using online webinars, online conferences & events, online zoom meetings. Nurturing leads by creating lead generating newsletters, increasing your email correspondence, creating more online presentations, oh….and even picking up the good old fashioned phone to make a call.

If you need help,  such as *COLD CALLING *FOLLOWING UP WARM LEADS *APPOINTMENT SETTING  *OUTBOUND CALLS *CONTENT CREATION *INCREASING YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE plus so much more, then consider utilising a Virtual Business Development Manager. I work with you virtually, when I call prospects, I call as your BDM, I become part of your business, I learn about your product, your service. No need to pay for company vehicles, phones or laptops. It’s a cost effective and efficient way to do business in 2020 and beyond.

ABOUT ME

If you have scrolled down my page this far to see this section and haven’t left my website, I do appreciate it!!!!

I’m an ambitious, driven workaholic, independent (almost middle age) woman, yes 50 is approaching (unfortunately). Seriously, I love what I do, I’m creative, love the outdoors, 4WD driving in ‘My Beast’, the beach, gardening, upcycling & painting vintage furniture and living off the land and eating delicious wholesome food straight from my own vegie garden. Keeping fit is extremely important to me as we all get older (no magic potion to reverse the years, pity)

Boring I know, I enjoy my own company, love animals, been a carer to my parents since I was young (my dad was 60, when I was created), hence I never knew any different when growing up with older parents and being surrounded by lots of music to the tunes of ‘Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey, Elvis Presley and a bit of Michael Jackson too’.  My parents taught me good moral values and I try to bestow this in my own business and what I do each day.

So that is me in a nutshell (the short version, anyway!)
