What CEOs, CCOs, and CXOs Should Know Before Hiring Another BD TeamYour pipeline is not where it needs to be. Revenue growth is inconsistent. The team is busy, but you are not seeing enough new opportunities move. So somebody says: “We need more business development people.” Maybe. But before you hire another BD person, build another sales team, or add another layer of headcount, there is a much harder question leadership needs to answer: Is the problem really the people? Because adding more people to a commercial system that is not working does not fix the system. It usually makes the problem more expensive. That is what we are going to talk about at the next Industrial Growth Series session at The Ion: What CEOs, CCOs, and CXOs Should Know Before Hiring Another BD Team This conversation is specifically for the executives making decisions about growth. The CEO wondering why the pipeline is inconsistent. The CCO trying to create more predictable revenue. The CRO being asked why activity is not converting. The founder who is still personally carrying too many relationships. The leadership team considering another BD hire because they know something needs to change. Before you write the job description, we need to talk. Because we see industrial and oil and gas companies hire talented business development professionals and put them into situations where they were never set up to win. They are told: “Go find business.” But who exactly are they supposed to target? Which accounts matter most? What problems are those customers trying to solve? How is the company positioned? What makes the company different? Which relationships already exist? Who…

  • The Business of Wellness

    The Business of Wellness

    Join the team behind Innerhouse Wellness Studios for a small business workshop specifically for wellness practitioners. This interactive three-part workshop series is being facilitated to help wellness professionals get the clarity and direction they need to build a thriving practice. What the workshop will cover: What deserves your attention? Explore how you naturally operate, where your time and energy are actually going, and what deserves more—or less—of you. For example: you may think, “I never have enough time.” We’ll look at where your time is actually going, what’s taking your energy, and whether time is really the problem. What do you actually want? Step outside what feels practical, expected, or like the “right” way to grow and get honest about what you actually want from your practice. For example: “I feel like I am supposed to hire more people. I’m just not sure it’s what I actually want.” We’ll push past the first answer to uncover what you want, what might be getting in the way, and what you’re actually trying to create. How do you move toward what you want? Turn what you’ve uncovered in weeks one and two into something concrete. Explore your options, identify what you need to know, and start working through what comes next. For example: “I know what I want to add a second location. I just don’t know how to get there.” We’ll break the idea open, look beyond the obvious options, and work through the first steps together. Whether you’re currently working out of Innerhouse or you’re exploring a shift in your career path, we’d love to support your growth. Sessions will be held at our sister property The Commune on consecutive Tuesdays. Purchasing a single ticket gives you access to all three sessions. Location: The Commune 101 E North Loop Austin,…
