LEARN HOW TO ALIGN AND STRUCTURE DEALS See examples of how to take a hopeless business situation, and reverse it using business development that helps you partner with with the right kinds of companies that can help you. EMPHASIS ON THE QUALITY OF RELATIONSHIPS The emphasis of this course will be on quality of the most important business relationships rather than many mediocre relationships. Anyone can send out mass spam-like email campaigns hoping to get a few responses. But those aren't too well targeted, and typically yield poor results. The best results come from fostering a few wisely chosen business relationships with the right people. If your relationships with the right people grow over time, it will lead to many big deals where everyone wins. GET INTO GOOD DEALS It's not enough just to do business development (sometimes referred to as biz dev), you also have to negotiate a good deal for your business, and the business you are partnering with. So in this course, you will also learn the common negotiation tactics where both parties win.
