Doing a little big of business development each day is key to unlocking your path to partnership…
Giving clients & members the clarity & confidence to grow their practice | How To Make Partner | The Accountants' Growth Club | Slayer of tradition
Here's how to do some business development each day - even when you are in back to back meetings I had a day on wednesday filled with client calls. There was hardly room for toilet breaks. But I've set up a commitment with Matt Thomson to do some business development each day. And at 16:30 I need to email him to let him know what I have done. Crikey. My boss is a tough one. As I sat there and planned my day, I thought about how to get some business development done. The big stuff was out such as a lunch or long phone call. But I went to my business development plan to see what could be done. So I: • did the linkedin update and odd 5 mins here and there when waiting for clients to turn up • emailed 5 people on my 'stay in touch list' Having the 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to do business development made it SO much easier to get it done. This is just one of the many nuggets you will find out on 'how to make time for business development' on demand course in our Progress to Partner Academy We've got over 200+ members of the Academy... PS photo of me is 5 years ago when I had short hair and was talking to an audience of professional speakers about how to grow their practice

This is what I would expect to see in a business case for partner. 👉Outline of your current practice 👉Plans to grow your practice over the next 3 years 👉12-month marketing plan 👉Critical success factors 👉Executive Summary Remember that your firm may or may not have its own way that it wants you to present your business case. But even if it doesn’t provide you with a sample business case for partnership, most firms are likely to require similar details to those listed above.

Are you hoping to get tagged by partners in your firm as "partnership potential" ? Here are seven things that your partners are looking out for... 1. Commitment to the firm and its long term vision Partners are always looking out for people who are actively committed to the firm and helping it achieve its long term vision. 2. Good relationship building skills Most buyers of professional services will ultimately choose their supplier based on the quality of the relationship that they have with them. The partners will be looking out for how well you build and maintain your relationships within your network. 3. Excellence with clients It doesn’t matter whether you are a new junior to a firm or a highly experienced senior associate or director, your client handling skills and mindset towards clients WILL determine whether or not you get seen as future partnership potential for your firm. 4. Drive and ambition Your own drive and ambition becomes a major predictor of your success as a partner. After all, you wouldn’t want to promote someone to help you run your business if they couldn’t really be ‘bothered’… 5. Willingness to get involved in business development It is very rare that anyone gets promoted to partner without a proven ability to win business for the firm. Getting involved in business development activities is a good step in the right direction. 6. Emotional maturity Are you a moaner and groaner? Do you fly off the handle easily? Do you struggle to see the bigger picture? These are all signs that you need to work on your emotional maturity. 7. Commercial astuteness Partners will always be looking out for those people who think commercially and could be relied upon in the future to take good commercial decisions on behalf of the firm.
