Marketing and BD is a Team Sport

This is a 90-minute education session with interactive small group activities.
So, your seller-doers don’t know how to sell and hide behind the doing. They say “I’m so busy with
these projects, I just don’t have the time...” They think business development and marketing is
slimy, under-handed, or, at best, a talent you’re born with. Marketing and business development is
not an us vs. them game, it’s a team sport and the more everyone understands it, speaks the same
language, and follows the same path; the easier it gets.
Marketers! grab your most promising seller-doer. Seller-doers! grab your most promising
marketer and come learn how to set up a system and process for winning more work for your
firm. This session will cover the parts and pieces of a team-based seller-doer program. It offers a
menu of options that participants can pick from to build a program that works best for their firm,
their clients, and their people.
Kathryn Ness from GO Strategies will walk attendees through the pieces and help put the puzzle
together to craft a process that works. Having taught seller-doers in architecture, engineering,
and construction firms in public and private markets across the US, Kathryn has seen and heard it
all. And she’s learned a few tips and tricks to make marketing and business development easier.
Come join the fun!
