Business Development-in-Training Program Creation & Execution – All skill development is challenged by
the “time” factor. Small firms cannot afford to have their billable resources sitting in training courses for
multiple days each year but still need to support them in their personal growth. Their growth improves the bottom
line through improved revenue growth and employee satisfaction. A Business Development In-Training program can
deliver through a mix of training and one-on-one mentoring spread out over a 6 to 12 month time period.
Key Hire Selection and Onboarding Support – Making a key hire to grow your business is a frequently deployed
growth strategy. Unfortunately, executing the strategy is difficult and frequently creates disappointing results
which can take 12 to 24 months to recognize and correct. There are steps that can significantly reduce making the
wrong hire. SGCI will lead you through the process and can support you through the execution phase.
Selection Committee Interview Preparation - Your team has been notified they are one of the finalists
for a large contract opportunity. The next step will be the interview & presentation to the selection committee.
Does your team understand the key messages? Do they understand their roles during the interview? Are they prepared
for the questions? Have they practiced their delivery? SGCI will coach your team and prepare them for the task.
One-on-One Mentoring - SGCI will serve as a personal business development coach to your business development manager(s).
