Introducing i-BDM

i-BDM has been providing hands-on business development and sales consultancy into SMEs since 2011. We work in sectors as wide ranging as deep technology, innovation, software development, cyber security, security services, defence & security, specialist training and lots more besides.

Firstly, as an independent business development manager, our clients can expect high quality and high impact delivery of leads. We provide qualified introductions, strategic partnerships and sales delivered on a flexible basis.

Our work is borne out from years of experience in working closely with SMEs, startups and innovators. Therefore, we understand the way in which the day-to-day operation of doing business means we often lack time to focus on our business.

Above all, our mission is always to work with you to ensure sustainable and long term growth.

Our Services

Why use an “independent”?

Firstly, taking on an independent business development manager through i-BDM provides you with this business development and sales consultancy expertise to quickly grow your business without the costs and risks associated with full time employment. Importantly, this is useful for testing new markets or new products.

Secondly, i-BDM was designed to work directly with business owners and innovators to offer a flexible business development service that would be relevant, efficient and cost-effective. Therefore, we understand the challenges faced by growing businesses so we provide a solution.

Above all, there is nothing ‘cold’ about our approach and we ensure that those prospects we are contacting will be interested in what you have to offer.  In this way, we ensure our introductions are fully qualified and high quality. In this way, we focus on quality above all else.
