The prompt
Our {{practice_service_line}}] wants to grow revenue from {{current}}] to {{target}}] and needs a clear BD strategy. Create a comprehensive strategy covering market, clients, and execution.
Include: (1) Market opportunity assessment – TAM? Our market share today? Growth trajectory? (2) Target client profile – who are ideal clients? Industry, size, geography, buying triggers? (3) Go-to-market approach – how do we reach clients? Direct sales, referrals, marketing, partnerships? (4) Pipeline development – how do we build healthy pipeline? Leads, qualification, sales cycle? (5) Competitive positioning – how do we differentiate? (6) Revenue roadmap – what needs to happen to hit target? Hiring? New services? M&A?
Include target client profile, go-to-market strategy, and sales pipeline forecast. Make it strategic. Why this works
Clear strategy aligns team and focuses effort. Without it, growth is haphazard.
