STUDENT’S STORIES
A unique experience with impact
Before I took the course, I knew what I was doing with my business, but I couldn’t really find a way to describe my function in my company. That was until I started The BD School course! Business Development is exactly what I’m doing and I love doing it! The course itself is amazing, and the thing, I loved the most was the homework. Clear, consistent, and very practical. The course really helped me set a clear path for LUTTO’s future.

FOUNDER | LUTTO | THE NETHERLANDS
The BD School has truly changed my way of working and helped me get all the insights and strategies I needed to start my career in business development. When I found my new job I didn't receive formal training and I didn't have a method to execute my daily tasks. The course gave me practical tips that I could immediately apply. After the course, I felt more confident in my job and was able to hit target more consistently.

Before the course, I didn't have a formal business development training. All I knew I learned it on the job. But I wanted to have more structure to increase client's conversion and generally feel more confident in my job. The course was very practical and I really liked the many templates and frameworks. These were particularly helpful because I can now use them in my daily job making me more efficient and my clients happy.

– Mindset: 9 out of 10 managers want their business developers to be more proactive, brave, and committed to their results no matter what. However, many business developers seem to lose interest quickly, lack consistency, and are resistant to change. This attitude is in contrast with business development which requires persistence, creativity, and patience. The training will unlock the right mindset making your team more proactive and goal-oriented. You’ll enjoy a team that cares as much as you!
