Common BD Traps for Partners/Directors

Being a Partner/Director/Principal in a Professional Services business involves keeping many balls in the air. Hitting budgets, generating work, keeping clients happy, navigating the politics and leading teams are not easy. Below are three common BD-related traps that I see people fall into and that keep people stuck, especially when relatively new in these roles, and some ways of getting out of them. Of course, everyone is different. What is a trap for one person may not be for another. These traps can also apply to Managers in businesses who need to deliver services across their organisation.

The Confidence Trap

The Confidence Trap is thinking that you need to always feel confident in order to have good conversations with clients. Many people have imposter syndrome, particularly when new in a role. This can be problematic if it stops us having conversations with clients or if it turns our focus too much on ourselves in those conversations. A useful way to move past this is to acknowledge these feelings (which will come and go, and are often false alarms and not helpful), and make an accurate assessment of your competence: remind yourself that you (and your firm) have the competence to deliver what clients need. Once you have accepted this, your job is to forget about yourself, and focus on helping your clients – even if you don’t feel confident all the time or with every client. The maxim - "feeling like doing something is not a requirement for doing it" - applies here.

The Knowledge Trap

This trap, which I sometimes call the ego trap, goes something like “I have all the knowledge and know what clients have to do”. This can very subtlety but noticeably create distance between you and your potential clients. This is an understandable trap for some, given the emphasis that is placed on knowledge in our training and education. What this perspective misses are the nuances of a client’s problems and the importance of building trust and connections with clients. If we feel that we shouldn’t have to do B.D, we do it begrudgingly or if we aren’t asking enough questions that have us connect with and understand potential clients, then you may be in the knowledge trap . Our job is not to say what we know, but rather, to help clients identify the source of the problem and use our relationship with them, our experience and knowledge to help them solve it.

The Perfectionist Trap

This is another understandable but ineffective trap. We build our identities and careers by doing things to a high standard and want to ensure that we are doing the highest quality work. This helps keep clients satisfied, enhances our reputation and drives continuous improvement. However, it becomes a trap when we become overly focused on being ‘all-knowing’ and forget that we need to take people with us, and in doing so, dismiss the contributions of others. Focusing too much on perfection can produce fear of making mistakes and impact on the wellbeing, confidence and productivity of others. A healthier approach is to commit to high quality work, but to also think about what’s most helpful for the client. Perhaps a phone call followed up by a short email might be more useful than a PowerPoint deck or a 20 page report. In judging whether work is high quality, we are basing that on certain standards. Often those standards are applicable and need to be maintained. In those cases, it’s important to articulate those standards when delegating work, and offer support to help your people to deliver to them, which includes having the conversation in a mood that gives confidence to others. In other situations, there might be different ways of doing things - our way may not be the only way. Loosening our grip on perfection also saves time, builds confidence and competence in others, and paves the way for new ways of doing things.

As business owners, gauging the right time to expand and the need for funding can be a daunting challenge. A critical juncture that requires careful consideration and strategic planning. Whether you're eyeing growth opportunities or seeking to scale your operations, understanding the readiness of your business is key.

Here are a few key indicators to assess if your business is primed for expansion and in need of funding:

Strong Market Demand: Analyze if there is a growing market demand for your products or services. A surge in customer inquiries or increasing sales could signify the need for expansion.

Operational Efficiency: Evaluate your current operational capacity. Are you struggling to meet customer demands due to resource constraints? This could be a sign that additional funding is required to optimize operations.

Competitive Landscape: Keep an eye on your competitors. If they are expanding or introducing new offerings, it might be time for you to consider growth initiatives to stay competitive in the market.

Financial Health: Conduct a detailed review of your financial statements. Are your revenues growing steadily? Do you have sufficient cash flow to support expansion plans? If not, seeking funding options could be a viable solution.

Remember, the decision to expand and secure funding is pivotal and requires thorough assessment. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can determine if your business is ready to take the next leap towards growth.

If you find that your business aligns with these indicators and you're considering expansion, exploring funding options could be the next step. Investing in the future of your business can unlock new opportunities and drive sustainable growth.

Take the time to assess your business readiness and explore the possibilities that lie ahead. Your vision for expansion could be closer than you think.

The Role of Investment Banks in the Global Economy 

The investment banking industry improves global corporations and efficient financial systems as it helps companies secure more capital. Therefore, enterprises can plan, access, and share their assets while institutional investors benefit from fair deal negotiations. This post will describe the role of investment banks in the global economy. 

What Are the Investment Banks? 

Investment banks (IBs) function like financial intermediaries between issuers of securities and investors. Moreover, established companies approach them when planning initial public offerings (IPOs) or seeking underwriting facilities. The growing significance of investment banking services results from the need to aid companies throughout securities issuance and ensure the capital markets' performance. 

Simultaneously, high net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and public funds rely on IB professionals to handle valuation, deal negotiations, and company profiling related to privatization. However, most investment banks become market makers because they buy or sell a security at a quoted price. This approach provides liquidity for trading and mitigates IPO undersubscription risks. 

Many companies also require extensive capital support to increase research, enter new markets, and expand their capacity. Therefore, they gather funding assistance based on investment bankers’ recommendations and fundraising strategies. 

Important: An investment bank can be an independent organ of an established commercial banking brand. Doing so helps eliminate conflict of interest and maintain stakeholders’ trust. 

The Role of Investment Banks in Global Economy: Market Making and Corporate Finance 

Every IB has two divisions, namely market making and corporate finance. What is market-making in investment banking? When an investment bank acts as a facilitator between buyers as well as sellers of securities, like stocks or bonds, it is a market maker. 

This role allows investment bankers to enable smoother transactions, making them popular across business development services and strategies. On the other hand, corporate finance involves helping companies raise capital to improve their balance sheets. 

Likewise, investment banking can provide data-backed advisory assistance for businesses’ mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals through the corporate finance role. 

Revenue Sources of Investment Banks 

Investment banks’ revenue depends on charging fees for their offerings like valuation support or business information. These gains can become billable commissions, a fraction of the capital lost or acquired via a transaction. Alternatively, IB firms might earn interest payments on loans given to clients, leveraging extra capital for mergers and acquisitions or capacity expansion.  

What Do Investment Banks Offer? 

1| IBs Engage in the Buying and Selling of Securities 

Investment banks help companies issue new securities to raise funds required to realize business development objectives. Buying back their stock from investors to increase the price of their shares is feasible in investment banking support. 

Underwriting services attempt to preserve stock value by committing the capital in an investment bank to unsold stocks. Additionally, such measures help business leaders mitigate financial and competitive risks via investment banks. 

2| Investment Banks Accelerate M&A Deal Execution 

Investment banks make the global economy more competitive. They guide companies in corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Therefore, fair price determination, negotiation, and some marketing activities belong to IBs. An investment bank reveals the required capital for acquiring and enriching another business entity. 

Leaders and institutional investors trust investment banks to work on M&A deal documentation and communicate with all the relevant parties. So, there will be no resistance from shareholders who might not cooperate with your strategy at the initial stages. 

Importance of Investment Banks in Global Financial Markets 

Investment banks play a critical part in the global economy by finding ideal investors for growth-poised companies. Without IB professionals’ assistance, enterprises will encounter more challenges across business mergers, underwriting, and IPO-based fundraising. 

An IB firm can also empower governments and public institutions to strategize market entries and exits. It will conduct risk assessments, develop financial models, and find a fundraising instrument satisfying stakeholder preferences. 

Thanks to this industry, one company can acquire another business to gain competitive benefits like market share or capability enhancements. 

Conclusion 

Investment banking professionals help companies raise capital while guiding investors in making beneficial investments. While the work can seem stressful and challenging, it is integral to keeping the global economy open, value-driven, and consistently growing. 

Business development, a non-negotiable duty of every enterprise, is only possible after securing significant capital. As a result, all IB firms facilitating large transactions have contributed to remarkable corporate activities, increasing job creation and privatization. 

Responsible IB firms increase the stock value and accelerate business deals without ignoring the risk exposure of companies and investors. Given its significance, the projection that the market size of investment banking will be 221.78 billion US dollars in 2027 is well-justified.

Seeing Beyond Labels

While coaching a leader, Jennifer, I found myself in a conversation with her and her boss, the CEO.

Each coaching engagement begins and ends with a triad meeting—myself, the coachee, and their sponsor. These meetings are like bookends, ensuring our goals are clear, our intentions aligned, and the coachee is supported from all sides.

During our initial meeting, the CEO shared his perspective that Jennifer could do with a spark, and communicate more enthusiastically, without really seeing his role in that. Jennifer, with quiet courage, shared concerns she hadn’t previously expressed. This honest exchange brought to light issues that had lingered beneath the surface.

Our work together wasn’t about turning Jennifer into someone she wasn’t. Instead, it was helping her discover why her work mattered—both to herself, her stakeholders and her team– and to communicate in a more effective way. It was also about helping the CEO see the value of his support in bringing out her best.

Jennifer and the CEO began meeting more regularly and talking more openly, which led to a mutual sense of support and trust. Jennifer, once reticent, began to stand taller. Her voice—though quiet—carried weight. The CEO learned to be more honest without triggering defensiveness from her.

The CEO’s comment in the initial meeting, was well-intended. Yet, it revealed a common trap—believing that a person’s behaviour is untouched by the ebb and flow of relationships and environments. While it's on us to be aware and improve how we interact with others, our success and the success of others is also influenced by how we are treated and supported by those around us.

Note: the main parts of this story are based on common themes from different engagements. Other aspects of the story have been changed to maintain confidentiality.
