Getting our Business Development Managers from Asia together was all about giving them the chance to network, to share best practice, to learn, and to generate the energy and momentum to help us achieve our ambitious growth objectives as a company. This session follows the week that we had in September, in Windsor in the UK, with our Business Development Managers from the CEME and IALA Regions.

This was a good reminder that Business Development is all about the client, not ourselves. It was fun doing the cooking class for team building. A great opportunity to catch up with old and new colleagues to discuss challenges and wins.

"Iron sharpens iron". In this event, I got to meet with many Business Development Managers across the region and we learnt from each other through the group work we did. There were many "projects" which we had to pit ourselves against each other, observed our very skilled colleagues on how they sold, handled the responses of "clients" and negotiated deals. There was a bid preparation and presentation from a real tender that we had to do on the last day, and we saw some very fine teams at work.
