Is anyone's employer or team looking to hire a career-pivotting rockstar for PM or project coordination? I am trying to pivot careers and get my foot in the door at a large firm full of opportunities. I have worked at a charity for 5 years and contributed to doubling their year-to-year total revenue.

Thinking about trying for first child soon (i.e., in next 3-4 months) and also feeling burnt out on the job. Part of me wants to tough out the grind to take maternity leave at a company I know and be able to navigate pregnancy + return with colleagues I've built relationship with. Another part of me looks at job market now and thought of returning to a job I'm already tired of and shouts leave leave leave!

Any guidance or stories of similar experiences?

I’ve been working on a pitch that continues to get delayed and it’s poorly managed. The RFI was due in July. Then days AFTER submission I received an email from the consultant saying we now had until August. End of September rolls around and frankly I had forgotten about this 100-page beast. They want a meet and greet….the following week. The day before the meet and greet we get a list of questions (that aren’t easy softballs). Now 2 weeks later and nothing. What a gross feeling this process is

What is the pandemic version of "let's grab coffee". as a biz dev person I am struggling with how to make that initial connection. I offer up calls and/or zooms. Let us know if you have a good tip on how to break the ice with new biz/ get new potential clients interested.

Thoughts on winmo? Useful or crap?

Anyone here have any advice for outsourcing new business? We’re an 18month old, busy design consultancy. I’m getting tied up in delivering the work and the pipeline suffers.

Hey! First timer. I’m moving over into biz dev and am trying to get a better handle on how you all do this thing!
Is there anything you wish you knew earlier on? Any tips for this new comer is very appreciated

Hi! Has anyone gone to one of the GDS group CMO Insight Summits? Is it worth the large price tag?

Any new biz roles open in NY? I’m looking for Account Supervisor level! I’m struggling to find New Business roles in general, I feel sometimes it can be such a niche search. Any tips / words of wisdom?

10 days to turn around a RFP.
Agency: request schedule Q&A session
Client: Let me check schedules. Wednesday next week works for our team... (day 6 of RFP) 🤦‍♂️

How do other agencies structure salaries and commissions for new business directors? What commission rate?

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)

Any McCann NY new business fish in here? I see you have an opening and would love to get the inside scoop.

What are you doing to drive inbound? How are you marketing your agency? Or do you?

Hi all! Just introducing myself. I’ve become a Bowl Leader here in the new biz bowl. Looking forward to it! This bowl helped me tremendously when I switched from prod co sales to full service agency biz dev. Great group! I’m now biz dev director for a production/post/animation facility. Please comment with a bit about you and your role. Thanks!

Quick Q - how are your comp plans structured ? Not the amounts but more how do you handle recognizing revenue of multi year deals?

We've focused on networking and self promotion through a monthly newsletter for our new business process; sprinkled in with a tiny bit of RFPs. We're considering doing a mailing to targets. Thoughts?

Anyone know of great junior talent looking to get into New Biz? We’re hiring

I’ve seen a lot of agencies bring in freelancers for new business work (either production or concept creating). Would you ever consider bringing in a new business consultant or pitch expert?

Anybody care to share tactics for negotiating rates with procurement? Know they’re bluffing to drive all competing agencies down, but not sure what leverage we have to push back.

Say we’ve got a pitch in 3 weeks. What’s a typical fee for a freelance strategist to lead the strategy and work with the team to build the deck? How much would they make in that gig?
