How to Make Time for Business Development

You don’t need more hours for business development. You need a system that doesn’t depend on you being personally involved at every stage. In this episode, Michelle breaks down why delivery always wins when it competes with growth, how that creates the feast-or-famine “rescue mission” cycle, and what to build instead. You’ll learn: • Why business development is a design problem, not a scheduling problem • How an Opportunity Engine keeps buyers moving while you’re delivering client work • Why protecting manager time matters — and why a half-day works better than leftover hours • How your team can contribute to growth through client service, referrals, and debrief conversations • Why better positioning and diagnostics lead to shorter, stronger sales conversations • How one consultant went from near zero to $500K in under 12 months by building the system first If your next engagement still depends on having enough time to go find it, this episode will show you what needs to change.
