Do you define business development as “cold calling,” “sales,” or “marketing”? Do you rely on referrals or SEO for most of your new business? Are you allowing existing clients to shape your firm’s direction? This conversation, led by business consultants to creatives, Emily and Hunter of Casa Davka, and moderated by Kelly Jennings, Partner & Director of Client Engagement of J2 and Exit Design, will focus on strategies for building authentic, one-to-one relationships with prospects that take time, focus, ongoing nurturing, and a change in tactics. When done well, these strategies can be a fun, challenging, and rewarding aspect of any successful business, leading to better-qualified and longer-term, mutually rewarding relationships. You’ll learn why you need to change your thinking about what new business actually is and better, more authentic ways to do it.

This conversation will be followed by a Q&A with the audience, during which you can get honest, straightforward feedback and solutions to your most pressing business development questions and connect with industry peers to hear their challenges and concerns, as well as the opportunities they are exploring.

You can also expect some healthy debate and energizing conversation, as Emily and Hunter don’t always agree, but that’s where they find the best solutions come from!
