Purpose Statement: Why do we do what we do?
IBDPros defines how business development relates to sales and marketing, ensuring that communications are clear, and goals are met. We address a lack of communication and misalignment of expectations between the business development professional and the organizations they support. These gaps cost time and money; therefore, we address the disconnects and answer the questions that people don’t know to ask.
