Business Development
It’s a chemistry among Sales & Marketing
Almost daily, I run into the
misconception that the function of
sales and business development are
interchangeable, from co-workers to
industry peers. This stems primarily, I
believe, from the shift in titles of
salespeople to business development
-- which has been done in an effort to
avoid the negative connotation that
surrounds it.
When you think about the function of business
development, it should be thought of as a marketing
function. Yes, there are some soft sales skills
(qualification, negotiation, etc.) that are necessary to
become a good business development professional,
but at the end of the day, it's a marketing function.
If you were to think about it on a sliding scale between a
pure function of sales or marketing, it would wind up
somewhere around here
The reason behind this, is that typical goals of
business development include brand placement,
market expansion, new user acquisition, and
awareness -- all of which are shared goals of
marketing. The slight slide towards sales is simply
because of the tactics business development
employs to achieve those goals.
Which is where we get into the meat of it.
Regardless of the company, business
development tends to hold the same structure,
which I sketched up
Sales function is to sell directly to the end
customer. The function of business development is
to work through partners to sell to the end
customer, in a scalable way.
Scalability is the differentiator. It allows a company
to use pre-existing sales teams or communities
that a partner has developed to reach new
audiences.
Sales is very much an equation of capacity, which
is why sales teams tend to grow so large. Business
development teams, on the other hand, are
typically very small, maintaining their small size by
working through existing partner infrastructures.
The art of business development comes in
identifying partners that fit that description, while
finding a way to provide value to the partner's
end customer and business.

Business development explained

  • 1. Business Development It’s a chemistry among Sales & Marketing
  • 2. Almost daily, I run into the misconception that the function of sales and business development are interchangeable, from co-workers to industry peers. This stems primarily, I believe, from the shift in titles of salespeople to business development -- which has been done in an effort to avoid the negative connotation that surrounds it.
  • 3. When you think about the function of business development, it should be thought of as a marketing function. Yes, there are some soft sales skills (qualification, negotiation, etc.) that are necessary to become a good business development professional, but at the end of the day, it's a marketing function. If you were to think about it on a sliding scale between a pure function of sales or marketing, it would wind up somewhere around here
  • 4. The reason behind this, is that typical goals of business development include brand placement, market expansion, new user acquisition, and awareness -- all of which are shared goals of marketing. The slight slide towards sales is simply because of the tactics business development employs to achieve those goals. Which is where we get into the meat of it. Regardless of the company, business development tends to hold the same structure, which I sketched up
  • 5. Sales function is to sell directly to the end customer. The function of business development is to work through partners to sell to the end customer, in a scalable way.
  • 6. Scalability is the differentiator. It allows a company to use pre-existing sales teams or communities that a partner has developed to reach new audiences. Sales is very much an equation of capacity, which is why sales teams tend to grow so large. Business development teams, on the other hand, are typically very small, maintaining their small size by working through existing partner infrastructures. The art of business development comes in identifying partners that fit that description, while finding a way to provide value to the partner's end customer and business.
