What do we do, help, I’m lost
It can happen, and it does. This from my LinkedIn feed, a question from a connection – what do we do – or what do you think we do. And the only reference point is the name of the company.

#business development, getting the most from the client/agency relationship
Agencies should be looking at how to get the most from their client relationships. Why? Clients are already doing this.

Integrating client success into business development in a subscription economy
Planning for future success will pay dividends
A dynamic I see around my work has changed. New start-ups are facing an indeterminable future unless they plan within business development (and then client account management) to address the new market space – one where the barriers to exit have never been lower, the scope and spread (and power) of both Procurement and eProcurement and where the rise in ‘self-service’ on-boarding could see the decrease in brand/product loyalty all combining to create a more detached client/business relationship.
If the business, read billing, relationship is becoming more client-centric, in terms of power, then the focus should be ensuring that the client achieved their achieving goals/success – and should be the ‘why’ for the start-up.
