Business development is an activity aimed at creating new business opportunities. We always approach it at the intersection of your business model and marketing.
Business development acts as the bridge between knowledge within an organization and demand outside the organization. The goal is to create long-term value for the company.
Business development is more than just sales. Of course, in both cases, you're looking for new customers. However, in business development, you're focused on finding opportunities that go beyond just one customer. It requires a different approach. If you want to dive into this, you’ll need a Business Development plan.
A Business Development Plan is an essential tool for your company. It provides strategic direction, enhances market insights, manages risks, identifies growth opportunities, measures performance, attracts investments, and focuses on customer needs.
Your Business Development Plan serves as a comprehensive guide to help your company navigate the complexities of business growth and development. It ultimately leads to sustainable success and a competitive edge in the market!
Business development in the United States is heavily focused on rapid growth and market expansion. Sales and revenue generation are top priorities, and sales teams can aggressively pursue new leads and close deals.
In contrast, Dutch companies often prioritize sustainable growth and long-term stability over rapid market expansion. They tend to emphasize building lasting relationships and partnerships.
As you can see, the differences in business development approaches are significant. Creating a tailored Business Development Plan for the U.S. market is crucial. Hiring an American Business Developer with in-depth knowledge of the U.S. market can be a valuable solution.
