Everyone, from your team, to referrers and prospective clients need to be clear on what you offer. This session is not an exercise in navel gazing but an honest look at: • Obtaining client clarity • How did you win your most valuable work? • Differentiation vs competitors • Niche vs generalist • Messaging misalignment between business leaders You will leave with a refined positioning statement, clearer ICP (ideal client profile) and ways to generate work from existing clients.

Debung Organisational Bottlenecks to Revenue Growth

Wednesday 26 August 2026
For today’s businesses offering high value products and services, business development is not the responsibility of a select few. Clients form opinions about a business through every interaction — from responsiveness and communication to operational consistency, leadership visibility and client experience. Does this sound familiar? - “We struggle to create consistency across teams.” - “Our operational teams don’t realise how much they influence reputation and revenue.” - “There’s a disconnect between our marketing and client experience.” - “Only a small group of people think commercially.” - “Our people underestimate how much visibility and behaviour influence growth.” Covers: • Partner accountability for BD • Margin awareness • Pricing confidence • Role clarity (who owns what?) • Quarterly commercial reset framework Here is help for businesses looking to build stronger commercial awareness across every role and understand how trust, reputation and revenue are shaped internally, not just externally. Attendees will takeaway a workbook to create clear BD roles and immediate commercial priorities. 1-2-1 follow up meetings can be booked for $150, simply contact tamara.mccombe@outlook.com The Intentional Business Growth Reset is for business leaders and rainmakers looking to analyse what their effective work-generating leavers are and design streamlined strategies and not simply a busy calendar. This is BD and marketing for professionals who want to avoid old fashioned salesy tactics.
