Business Development Specialist

As a small business consultant in Christchurch I have been networking furiously even more than normal to ensure my business has the best and most consistent exposure in my chosen market places.  Over the Last 3months I have joined an organisation called Business Network International (BNI) in Christchurch, our group is called the Emissaries and consist of motivated business owners and managers who have come together to help each other build their business.  Each week we meet and during the meeting we have to conduct a 60 seconds brief on what we do and what type of referral we are looking for that particular week, this particular time in the meeting I find quite challenging for two reasons; firstly I talk too much and always have things to say so for me 60 seconds is never long enough!!  Secondly I found it very difficult to break my job down into small enough chunks for people to understand exactly what I do.

I have also written a blog on why you should use a Business Consultant but in that blog it does not break down the job enough so hence my motivation for creating this series of blogs, breaking down the job, how and why I do things, to give potential clients the understanding of what a Small Business Consultant and more specifically myself does and how these areas may relate to their business.

Some of the following subjects will look at the following:

• Identifying potential clients and building a strong relationship.
• Finding out more about the clients business.
• Conducting SWOT analysis on different aspects of the business.
• Identifying the clients unique selling points.
• Identifying the clients ultimate goal for the business and developing a strategy to achieve it.
• Overcoming obstacles along the way.
• Achieving success – the end of a journey or the start of something new.

This series will be published over the next 4 weeks, I hope you enjoy the insight
