Business Development

Business Development is the broad term for any role involving sales, or the pursuit of strategic opportunities, such as cultivating partnerships or other commercial partnerships.  Here at TPP, we make a clear distinction between Business Development and Fundraising.   The latter, solely focusing on income generation rather than the maximisation of income via the sale of a product or service.  A strong business developer will have the ability to build relationships, communicate effectively over the phone and in person.
