Turn buyer research into a practical outreach plan

We start with the offer, the buyer groups and the relationships already in place. A focused research brief can identify suitable account types, decision-making roles, buying requirements and unanswered questions. The next step is an agreed outreach approach and ownership, with the information recorded where your team can use it. Friend & Burrell’s grower-to-buyer planning provides a relevant example in development.

CRM consulting around the follow-up process

A CRM review looks at the records you need, what each pipeline stage means, who owns the next action and how handovers happen. We can then agree changes to information structure, review habits and reporting. The scope establishes the system access and implementation responsibilities, with testing and a useful handover for the people maintaining it.

Scope & practicalities

Questions about business development & crm

Do we need to replace our CRM?

A review starts with your current process and tools. Better account information, clearer stages or more consistent follow-up may help before a change of system is considered. Any system changes are separately agreed.

What should we bring to an initial discussion?

Describe your current offer, target customers and how an enquiry becomes a next action. It helps to know who owns follow-up and where account information becomes difficult to find or maintain.
