Why do you approach it like a project?

Approaching business development as a project brings structure, accountability, and focus to growth efforts. It does enable efficient resource allocation, risk management, and the ability to measure results. This method also promotes clear communication, flexibility to adapt strategies, and documentation of valuable insights for future endeavours.

What steps are there within a project?

Overall there are three steps we take with and for our customers, and they include Step 1 – Market research, Step 2 – Go-to-market strategy and Step 3 – Active sales.

What do you need all these steps for?

THINK. PREPARE. ACT. This is our motto and a proven key to your sales growth.

By ‘thinking’ we mean conducting market research to know the playground.

By ‘preparing’ we speak about choosing the optimal go-to-market strategy for your business to help you guide your company to the direction of growth.

By ‘acting’ we imply doing proactive sales for you, from finding out your new customers to contacting them, talking to them and making product demos, assessing their needs to sending quotes and closing deals if you assign us to and manage these accounts after the deal is closed. This is a proactive phase where you see more deals appearing in and moving towards your pipeline.

How long does a project last?

On average, we need a month to accomplish Market research, a month to prepare Go-to-market strategy and six months for the Active sales stage. In some cases, we adjust the timeline depending on your need and urge and can also accomplish preparations, including Market research and Go-to-market strategy, sooner.

How flexible are you for new opportunities beyond the strategy?

We are agile and flexible.

Go-to-market strategy we create for you helps you define a way forward for your business, whereas staying agile, flexible and open-minded during its implementation helps us create more new business opportunities for you along the way and always be on the outlook for low-hanging fruits and quicker wins.

Having a direction only helps to keep extracting all the business opportunities out there for you!  

We prefer to work in iterations, in other words, staying in touch with you throughout your project and ensure we follow your lead to adjust along the way.

Why do you not simply do sales consulting without sales outsourcing?

Our extensive international business development experience shows us there is a clear gap between creating a strategy and implementing it. Those who create it may not necessarily deal with those who implement it, and such strategies are often times far from business reality.

At ABD International team, we have both thinkers and doers.

Business developers rely on this firm ground of preparation stage and bring in new business for you making sure they know what they do, how they do it and what for.
