CREATE / Reputation
According to research, your reputation – and that of your organisation – is the most important factor for clients when choosing who to consider for projects.
Fundamentals of Business Development Planning
Our Fundamentals of Business Development Planning training course aims to give professionals understanding and skills to plan and execute their strategic sales activity much more effectively. Invest in learning how to create a high value reputation for your organisation and take your sales to the next level.
Who’s it for?
This course focuses on creating successful business development plans. It will be highly valuable to anyone who has face-to-face time with clients, and those who have a remit to explore opportunities and find work from both new and existing clients will benefit significantly from this professional development. It would also be a useful reminder for those with more experience who may not have had any formal training – or at least not for a long time!
Questas works with a number of professional and engineering services firms who work in the built and natural environment. We provide unqiue training perspectives that will particularly help those who consider themselves technical professionals and not natural sales people.
