The Short List: How to Drive Business Development by Focusing on the People Who Matter Most - Hardcover

by David Ackert (Author)

Focus on the right relationships for better business results.

When it comes to business development, professionals often struggle--not from a lack of opportunities but from not knowing where to focus their attention. In a world where we can access anyone through six degrees of separation, our 500+ LinkedIn connections and cluttered CRM databases only exacerbate the question: "What is the best use of my time?"

The Short List delivers a clear, actionable guide to identifying the people you need to prioritize and the techniques you can use to nurture those relationships into career catalysts. It provides a step-by-step plan with easy-to-use exercises to help newcomers get started and seasoned rainmakers hone their approach. Streamline your networking system and elevate your business development results with this indispensable guide.
