You already have a set of existing professional relationships that can serve as the foundation for your BD efforts. This module provides insights on how to maximize these existing relationships to create a win-win situation, which will help you generate more business opportunities.
Expanding Your Sphere of Influence
The most successful business generators have a large sphere of influence within their respective business communities. This module will enhance your personal brand awareness and increase your influence with clients, prospects, and referral sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Business Development Accelerator is a membership-based program that provides 1:1 coaching, personalized accountability, and access to exclusive business development growth modules to help you increase your influence and generate more business opportunities.
Each membership tier offers an increased level of individualized coaching and support and is billed quarterly, with the option for an annual commitment that includes an invitation to a curated peer group.
The Business Development Accelerator is designed to help middle-market CPAs, Lawyers, and other consultants increase their influence and develop more business opportunities.
We recommend that participants are comfortable in professional networking situations. If you are uncomfortable with networking, we recommend considering our Networking Bootcamp program.
It is not required that participants have an existing book of business, as the Business Development Accelerator will help jumpstart your referrals and opportunity generation.
For professionals with an established book of business, the Business Development Growth Ignitor will create exponential growth and help you narrow in on where you drive the most value.
Compensation models vary by firm and role, but typically, generating just one client can yield a return of 2-3x the annual membership. More importantly, the autonomy that comes with BD success is invaluable.
If you are having difficulty justifying the investment, reach out to our team, and we will help you understand the lifetime value of your membership.
We ask that participants commit to investing at least 10 hours per month into their business development efforts.
Successful participants understand that generating business opportunities is not a process that yields immediate results. Instead, they are dedicated to developing consistency over time and forming habits that will lead to long-term success.
Our success is dependent on the success of our participants. We strive for a 100% satisfaction rate.
If you find that your membership is not meeting your expectations, reach out to our team and we will make it right.
