About this listen

Join Neil Barrow, host of IHTEFYW, after his podcast with Emily Ackerman, Director of Business Development for the Southwest at Bennett Thrasher.

They covered the qualities of a successful business development professional, including: having a high motor, LinkedIn tips, managing your referral networks, and the #1 tip for new BD folks.

Welcome to the Strategies and Tactics edition where Neil unpacks:

Authenticity

Mindset

  • Professional vs friends
  • This is the best way to build authentic relationships
  • Takeaway - show your real personality to attract the right people into your orbit because not everyone is going to like you

Orbit

  • Identifying referral relationships that can be friends - core nucleus - meet 1x quarter 1x1
  • Moving those relationships to friends through events and common interests - concerts, music, food
  • Driving referrals through friendship

Winning new business

  • Qualifying through vibes
  • If they are a client of a friend, they will probably get along with you
  • Clients becoming long term relationships
