Whether it’s the basics of business development for your junior staff, or sophisticated techniques for your partners to ramp up business at key accounts, our sessions equip your team to make immediate, high-impact, revenue-driving changes.

The SPRINT program consists of a combination of in-person and remote sessions delivered weekly, over 12 weeks. Participants learn the principles of successful business development and practice application through role plays, worksheets, templates, quizzes and homework.

Group Coaching

Fuel your consulting firm’s success by creating new, superstar rainmakers. We work with small teams of your high-potential partners and consultants to unleash their business development potential.

Typically we work with 3-4 person peer groups or account teams. We maintain an intense focus on spotting opportunities, increasing fees, and closing deals over the course of 12 months of in-person sessions and structured phone calls.

Group coaching uses your current, in-market opportunities as our training ground. The focus is tactical and pragmatic, not theoretical, and the dollars your consultants will close are real too.

Digital Training Modules

You’ll boast a customized Consultants Academy with training videos, exercises, templates, and worksheets–all available to your team 24/7. Topics can range from business development basics through advanced skills.

This format is particularly good if your consultants are geographically dispersed, if you plan on adding new consultants in the next year or two, or if you want to create an enduring, repeatable 3-6 month “master’s degree in business development” for your firm.
