Feast or famine?
Mar 18, 2025 2:06 pm
Hi ,
Tom and Ben both knew they needed to bring in clients to grow their businesses.
Tom did what most people do—he treated business development as a random, occasional task.
He networked when he had time, posted content when he felt inspired, and reached out to potential clients when work was slow.
Ben, however, had a different approach.
Instead of treating business development as something he did when he needed clients, he made it a consistent, repeatable process.
A year later, Tom was struggling.
Some months were great, others were painfully slow, and he never felt like he had enough leads.
He was stuck in a cycle of feast or famine—always chasing the next client instead of building a steady pipeline.
Ben? His client roster was full.
Because he built a system for client acquisition, he never had to panic about where his next deal was coming from.
Here’s How You Can Apply This:
- Make business development a habit. If you only work on it when you need clients, it’s already too late.
- Create a repeatable system. Whether it’s outreach, content, referrals, or events—set a process that runs consistently.
- Nurture relationships. Most clients don’t say yes right away. Stay in touch, follow up, and add value over time.
- Track your pipeline. If you’re not tracking where your leads come from and how they convert, you’re flying blind.
Stay tuned!
