Every engagement starts with understanding where you are, where you’re trying to go, and what’s actually standing in the way.
how I work
Hands-on business development, with support where you need it.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about where you are and what you need. From there, I scope the right level of support. Whether that’s a quick audit, an ongoing retainer, a full Business Development build, or a budget-friendly website, I’ll find the right fit.
Business Development Assessment & Roadmap
Not sure where to start? I audit your current Business Development process, identify gaps, and deliver a 90-day action plan with clear priorities. You can use the roadmap independently or discuss support with implementation.
Fractional Business Development Partner
I work alongside you to research target accounts, identify decision-makers, write outreach, follow up, and move qualified opportunities toward the next conversation. The scope and fee are agreed around the support you need.
Business Development Operations Build
Need the entire Business Development function built from scratch and handed off to your team? I design and document everything: playbooks, outreach sequences, prospect lists, and CRM pipeline processes. The handoff includes documentation your team can use and adapt.
Website Design & Development
Need a clean, professional website without the big agency price tag? I design and build affordable websites for small businesses — from simple landing pages to multi-page sites with clear messaging, SEO basics, and a look that builds trust.
AI Tools for Business Development
Most founders and small business owners know they should be using AI. Few know how to use it in a way that actually moves the needle on their business. This is a personalized, one-on-one virtual coaching session built around your business and your specific challenges.
In a focused working session, I’ll walk you through exactly how I use AI tools in my BD practice every day — writing outreach emails and sequences, researching target markets, building prospect lists, creating proposals and documents, and summarizing pipeline activity. No theory, no generic demos. I work through your actual tasks using your actual business.
You’ll walk away knowing how to use these tools independently and immediately. Available as a single session or a three-session package for deeper implementation and follow-up.
Common Questions
How is this different from hiring a full-time Business Development rep? You work directly with an independent consultant on an agreed scope, rather than adding a full-time employee. Onboarding and responsibilities are defined for your engagement.
How quickly can you get started? Start dates depend on availability and the agreed scope. Before work begins, we confirm timing, access needs, your target market, and goals.
Do you work with companies outside the US? My primary focus is North America, but I’m happy to work with startups and small businesses based or expanding outside the US. If you’re not sure if I’m a fit, just reach out and I’ll let you know.
What size companies do you work with? I work best with small businesses and early-stage companies — typically in the 1 to 50 employee range. Whether you’re a solo operator, a growing startup, or an established small business that’s never had structured outreach, I can help.
How do engagements typically start? An assessment and roadmap can be a useful first step when priorities are unclear. If you already have a plan, we can discuss a focused project or ongoing support.
Do you offer hourly work or work on commission? Outreach support is $75 USD per hour, with a 20-hour monthly minimum ($1,500). Strategic business development is $100 USD per hour, with a 20-hour monthly minimum ($2,000). Assessments, setup projects, website design, and AI coaching are quoted separately. The monthly minimum applies only to ongoing BD support. We confirm the scope, deliverables, fees, timeline, and billing in writing before work begins. I do not work on commission or performance-based compensation. View pricing and engagement options.
What industries do you work with? I work with startups and growing businesses across industries — including professional services, retail, trades, consulting, and more. If you’re running a small business and need help growing your client base, I may be a good fit.
How do I know if I need fractional Business Development or something else? If your pipeline is inconsistent, your founders are still doing most of the selling, or you know you need outbound but don’t have the bandwidth to run it, fractional Business Development is likely the right fit.
