Frequently Asked Questions
What does a business development consultant do for a service company?
A business development consultant builds the outbound side of revenue: target account lists, commercial and B2B pipeline, referral and partner channels, proposal and bid process, and the follow-up discipline that turns relationships into signed contracts. It is the demand that never shows up in a Google Ads dashboard.
How is business development different from marketing?
Marketing creates inbound demand from buyers already searching. Business development goes after accounts that are not searching — property managers, general contractors, facility directors, builders, insurance and TPA networks — through targeted outreach, relationships, and a managed pipeline.
Which revenue channels do you build?
Commercial and multi-site accounts, general contractor and builder relationships, property management and facilities contracts, insurance and TPA panels for restoration, referral partner programs, and strategic alliances with adjacent trades.
Do you do the outreach or train our team?
Both models exist. We can run outbound directly — lists, sequences, calls, and meetings — or install the playbook, CRM pipeline, and scorecard and coach an internal business development rep against it. Most engagements start with us running it and transition to your hire.
How long does a commercial pipeline take to produce revenue?
First qualified meetings usually land within 30 to 45 days. Commercial contracts carry longer cycles: 3 to 9 months from first meeting to signed agreement depending on contract size and budget calendars. Recurring maintenance and service agreements are usually the fastest wins.
What does a business development consultant cost?
Scope drives cost — a single channel such as property management account acquisition is materially cheaper than a full commercial go-to-market build. Every engagement is scoped against pipeline value and contract economics rather than hours.
Can this run alongside our existing marketing?
Yes, and it should. Business development and marketing feed the same pipeline from opposite ends. We connect both into one CRM so attribution, follow-up, and forecasting live in a single view.
