Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What does a skilled business development professional actually do, and how do you become one?The job title appears everywhere, yet it can describe completely different responsibilities. In one organisation, business development means prospecting and closing sales. In another, it means entering new markets, developing partnerships or preparing major commercial decisions.Opportunity Is a Discipline brings clarity to this often-misunderstood profession. It provides a practical, evidence-based guide for finding, evaluating and developing opportunities that can create lasting value.Written for aspiring BDMs, experienced practitioners and commercial leaders, this book will help you: - understand how business development differs from sales, marketing and account management- evaluate customers, competitors, markets and business models- prepare credible business cases and market-entry strategies- build productive professional relationships and strategic partnerships- improve prospecting, discovery, proposals and negotiation- manage pipelines, forecasting, CRM systems and commercial data- use artificial intelligence responsibly without replacing human judgement- strengthen productivity, resilience, influence and decision-making- progress from individual contributor to commercial leader- build a more deliberate and sustainable careerAcross 33 chapters, the book combines research, real-world commercial thinking, worked examples, self-assessments and 96 practical tools. It also examines weak or widely repeated claims and clearly distinguishes published evidence from the author's original frameworks.Whether you are entering the profession, trying to improve your results or leading a commercial team, Opportunity Is a Discipline will help you approach growth with greater clarity, stronger judgement and a repeatable professional method.
