2. Working in business development can sometimes be extremely
frustrating. There can be times when nothing is going the way you
want it to; you are not meeting sales targets, leads are not
converting, leading to demonization. However, there is nothing as
good as reading motivational quotes. These quotes will help you
get your focus back.
3. “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
Anais Nin
When you are in business development you need to remember that you
should not lose hope. There will be ups and downs, not even the best sales
people have a 100% success rate. You need to keep on trying, you can
expand your learning with every experience. If you are courageous and you
keep on trying you will be able to close a lot of business as you go along.
4. I think that our fundamental belief is that for us growth is a way of
life and we have to grow at all times
Mukesh Ambani
You need to constantly grow if you want to be successful when it comes to
business development. There is a lesson in every meeting you have with a
client, regardless if you are able to close business or not. There are several
opportunities out there if you have your eyes open and if you are willing to
grow.
5. “My future depends mostly upon myself.”
– Paul Robeson
You need to know that no matter what anyone says, it is you who can
shape your own future, especially when it comes to business
development. The more confident you are the more better you will be at
closing business. Your future in business development solely depends on
how confident you are in your own abilities.
6. “Just trust yourself then you will know how to live.”
– Somerset Maugham
In business development most people follow what is the common
practice, forgetting that if you continue to do what other people have been
doing you will not get different results. It is all about getting out of your comfort
zone and doing what you feel is right. At times playing safe can will not get
you the extra mile that you could have achieved if you had trusted yourself.
7. You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into
safety.
- Abraham Maslow
There are only two ways to life (and even business development) if you try
new things. You will either achieve great success or you will not be
successful and move back to the normal practice. However, there is a
lesson in no matter what method you adopt. If you do not want to get stuck
in stagnation it is best to try out new things constantly and learn.
8. You can't have 'yes' people around you.
- Terry Bradshaw
This quote is apt for business development, especially because when
making sales pitch there will be people who will doubt you, who will ask
questions. You need to be well prepared. Not everyone you meet will agree
with the solution you offer to them. If you know everything about the
solution that you are offering you will be able to convince your potential
clients.
9. "If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't
know what you're doing"
- W. Edwards Deming
What and you are selling needs to have a proper process; a process that
is easy to explain and implement. For business development individuals
that you hire you need to make sure that they understand your process. If
they understand the process, then only will they be able to close business
successfully.
10. "94% of all failure is a result of the system... not people"
- W. Edwards Deming
When you are into business development and most of your business
development team is not successfully in closing business, then you may
doubt their ability. However, before you change your, it is best to make
sure that you revisit your process. Failure of process is often associated
as failure of people.
11. You`ve got to stand up and do your own battles.
- Terry Bradshaw
If you are in business development you will only be successful if you are
constantly on your toes. There can be times when you will not be successful
in closing business, you will have to make sure that you have a reason for
the approach that you have been using and if you really need to change the
approach that you are following. To grow in business development you need
to do it yourself, no matter how much anyone tells you, firsthand experience
is always the best way to learn.
12. "Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most
wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize
that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or
hold you up in any way."
- Eileen Caddy
No matter what you do, attitude is everything. Keeping a positive attitude can
help you think positive and keep you motivated. Motivation to close business
is extremely important if you want to be successful. Take every experience as
a lesson and you will never be disappointed.
