About this course
Business development begins before the first pitch and continues after an agreement is signed. Andrew Dumont’s course follows that longer process, explaining how partnership work differs from a narrowly defined sales role and how to decide which opportunities deserve attention.
The lessons move from relationship building, negotiation and productive meetings into a business development plan, prospecting, an outreach pitch, internal approval and closing. A planning template and a one-page proposal example are described in the syllabus. The final stage considers maintaining the relationship, which makes this useful for learners who want to understand partnership work as an ongoing responsibility.
