Mistakes we keep seeing in Business Development

Business Development — detail
We would rather publish one unsentimental primer on Business Development than five that pad a word count.

Where the money ends up in Business Development

Paying more in Business Development sometimes buys something real and sometimes only buys a logo; our articles flag which is which, without hedging. Broadly, the straight range for Business Development is wider than headlines suggest, and anyone quoting one figure is guessing. A realistic Business Development budget has a line for the boring maintenance nobody mentions — leave it out and the number is fiction.

What changed recently

Honestly, if a Business Development walkthrough still says something we no longer believe, that is a bug — tell us and it changes on a schedule. As a rule, when something in Business Development changes, the affected walkthroughs change with it — every season, not eventually.

Also worth a look: Before you spend on Business Development, read this and Ask us anything about Business Development — we did.
