In this episode, Steve Fretzin and David Ackert discuss:

• Reframing the mindset of business development. 
• Organic and inorganic business development. 
• Being organized in your outreach to those in your circles. 
• Stepping up to be a coach in your own right. 

Key Takeaways:

• With changes due to the pandemic, a lot of networking and connection is needing to be more purposeful and intentional rather than happening in the moment. 
• Be focused on your inner circle and your outer circle - you won’t hesitate to reach out or make the calls. Now is the time to mature those relationships. 
• You need to invest time, not just check a box with a generic newsletter. You need to have real-time, authentic conversations. 
• Business development is relationship development, not a sales transaction alone. 

"Business development is the exercise of helping people be their best selves in the context of the relationships that can help their businesses grow." —  David Ackert
