January 2025 | 11 In order to thrive in today’s competitive environment, business development is a key organisational capability that drives your organisation’s growth. Business development includes sales, marketing, strategy, relationship building and so much more. On a mission to help its clients to become better at business development, Russell Strategy Partners Ltd (RSP) offers the skills, knowledge and support to transform a business when and where it is needed. Clients for RSP typically include management consultancies, law firms, executive search, marketing agencies and other business/ professional service firms. The company’s services centre around offering business development consultancy for firms and developing their business development strategy – from identifying pain points (called a BD HealthCheck), to growing existing clients, to winning new business. However, its offerings also include upskilling an organisation’s people through workshops and one-to-one mentoring, in order to develop their BD mindset, skillset and toolset, as well as providing ongoing consulting support for all business development activities, from GAP analysis to market intelligence and research. “In essence we practise what we preach. We are not just about theory, we support our clients on their journey toward better business development, providing practical tips, support and solutions along the way,” explains Darren Spevick, Founder and Managing Director. “Whilst this has always been our goal, over the past 12 months we have continued to evolve and develop our offering to better support our clients.” Throughout his career, Darren has gained experience of working in large and small business and professional service firms, developing business across Europe and North America. He has experienced the internal and external business development challenges these companies face, and he set up Russell Strategy Partners to support his clients and help them to win more business. “I love business development,” he enthuses. “I love the challenge, the networking, the making connections, joining up the dots to create real opportunities.” When onboarding a new client, Darren tells us that the work begins long before Russell Strategy Partners start a programme. We will initially hold several meetings with the client to really understand the business, the language it uses, and the challenges faced, so that the firm can provide a truly tailored, personalised and relevant experience. Russell Strategy Partners will also agree on how the training will be implemented - either in house or with off-site support - as this is where the real behaviour change and impact happens. Russell Strategy Partners Ltd is an award-winning strategic business development and mentoring consultancy, focused on supporting organisations and their teams improve their business development capabilities whilst creating value. We speak to Founder and Managing Director, Darren Spevick, following the firm’s success in the Corporate Coaching and Recruitment Awards 2024.
