Visibility creates opportunity.
If people don’t know what you do, they can’t buy from you - no matter how good your service is.
That visibility comes from:
• Turning up consistently
• Having conversations, not pitches
• Staying in touch after “good to meet you” moments
Are you in Business Development?
Or looking to build a better pipeline to grow the business?
The Biz Dev Club is back and works to try and help people with new ideas to win new clients.
The next one is 13th January at 10:30am (online)

Manchester is full of great businesses.
The ones that win more work are usually the most visible, not the loudest.
That means:
✔️ Turning up consistently to local events (have a look at @CirclesMCR)
✔️ Being active on LinkedIn
✔️ Staying in touch after “good to meet you” moments
One reason business development feels so difficult?
It’s personal.
You’re not just selling a product, you’re selling you, your thinking and your value. Rejection can feel uncomfortable, especially in close-knit business communities.

Let’s be honest.
Business Development is hard.
You’re putting yourself out there.
Following up when it feels awkward.
Hearing “sounds great, let’s keep in touch” more times than you’d like.
If Business Development feels difficult right now, you’re not alone.

If winning more work is a goal this year, ask yourself:
• Am I in the right networking rooms?
• Am I speaking to the right people?
• Am I staying visible after events?
If not, that’s exactly what I help with.

Manchester networking tip 👇
Stop trying to meet everyone in the room.
Instead:
• Pick 3–4 people you’d genuinely like to talk to
• Ask about their business, not their budget
• Follow up within 48 hours
Most deals in Manchester start with a decent chat and a coffee.
New year. New conversations. Same Manchester hustle.
Business Development in Manchester works best when you:
✔️ Turn up to the right rooms
✔️ Have proper conversations (not pitches)
✔️ Follow up with a brew, not a brochure

Business development doesn’t have to be complicated.
Sometimes all you need is consistency, energy and someone who actually enjoys doing outreach (that’ll be me).
New service: weekly onsite support to help you bring in more opportunities.
Let’s have a no-obligation conversation.
Some weeks you just need someone in the room making calls, starting conversations, building pipeline, and keeping things moving.
So I’ve added a weekly onsite service to help businesses do exactly that.

Happy to chat if you think it could help.

A local business told me last week:
"I didn’t even know half these events existed before @CirclesMCR."
Visibility creates opportunity.
If you want to grow your pipeline, start showing up.
I’ll help you find exactly where to go.
📍 One platform. All the events.

If you’ve been meaning to “sort your biz dev out” for months…consider this your sign.
New website’s up. New service launched.
I can be in your office once a week driving new business while you focus on actually running the company.
Fancy a chat? No obligation.

Some businesses don’t need a full-time sales hire…they just need someone who knows Manchester, knows people, and knows how to get conversations started.
That’s what the new onsite service is all about.

There’s no shortage of business cards flying round Manchester, but the best opportunities come from showing up.
Whether it’s breakfast meetups, creative socials or tech talks - you’ll find them all in one place.
✅ Discover new events
✅ Grow your network
✅ Plug into the scene
People think Business Development is about selling.
It’s not. It’s about starting conversations.
And when you get that right, the sales come naturally.
That’s what I help my clients do.
