The Struggle with Business Development
Almost every advisor I talk with struggles with business development. If you’re reading this blog and can identify with that initial statement, just know that you’re not alone.
During those conversations, I try to determine the root of their struggle. The majority of the time, the reply I get is “I can’t find enough qualified people to talk business with”…or some variation of that statement.
