Building Business Development Capacity

~~Setting the Stage for Jobs~~

Orbis Group’s Building Business Development Capacity workbook helps community volunteers and leaders understand the various aspects of business development:

• Business Development Strategy
• Local Staff and Team Development
• Industrial Land and Infrastructure
• Targeted Industries
• Marketing
• Prospect and Lead Management
• Closing the Deal

Orbis Group identifies 34 separate factors that define capacity within these seven overall elements.

By working through an easy-to-understand 33-page workbook, Building Business Development Capacity, community leaders will:

• develop and/or evaluate a business development strategy
• assess and build staffing capacity
• determine the adequacy and competitiveness of land and infrastructure
• implement business development marketing approaches
• position themselves to close job-creating deals

Business development, including encouraging new start-ups, assisting existing businesses, and recruiting new businesses is a vital element to the economic health of any community.

Orbis Group assists by giving a community a systematic approach to retaining and creating jobs.
