Description

This episode, Megan and Jennifer share an honest look at what business development really means and why it should start with people, not pressure.

Together, they unpack the realities of growing a book of business, navigating networking as introverts and extroverts, and rethinking the idea that there’s only one way to build relationships that lead to work. From big-law lessons to independent coaching insights, they share the approaches that actually work, and why “business development” is really just relationship development.

In this conversation, they cover:

  • Why the most successful business development starts with relationships, not revenue
  • How to build a strategy that feels authentic to you
  • Why “small talk” might just be curiosity in disguise
  • How to find motivation, spot your strengths, and do BD your own way
