I. STRATEGIC PLANNING & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
 
‹‹ PERSPECTIVES ››

Need to Deliver Financial Results – But Don’t Know Which Area of the Business Will Yield the Best Results?

Plehn Perspective:
Should we use the opportunistic approach – so we feel we are following all potential leads or target our approach to segments of clients and risk missing other business opportunities?

Conducting a strategic assessment of your firm’s offerings, strengths vs. weaknesses, current vs. aspirational capabilities and very importantly, client’s segments and needs will facilitate a deeper understanding of your firm’s effectiveness in driving business results.

Cases:
· Strategic business plan for a medium-sized asset management firm in need of focus and aligned
  marketing & sales efforts.
· Transitioning the same firm from the “opportunistic” to the “targeted” sales approach.
· Business development strategy for large department of Fortune 100 company to determine how to break
  through to large, prestigious retail clients who had  refused participation for over 10 years.
