I have been doing lots of business development work recently and thought I would share some of the learnings here.

My top learnings, almost in an order

1. Listen more than talk
2. Its all about relationships
3. Make someone else successful and you will be successful
4. Be positive everyone likes a winner
5. Be humerous everyone likes to laugh
6. Be memorable, be different, be relevant
7. Be brief and to the point
8. Always suggest next steps
9. Do as you say, follow up
10. Enjoy life and don’t be too hard on yourself

Hope you find them relevant to your life.
