"In today's environment, a revenue problem does not always reflect a sales problem.  Business development is more complex than that. Companies must have a business development strategy that aligns 3 key elements—your marketing plan, your sales initiatives and the financial objectives of your business. This alignment is essential to the growth and success of your business."
