Service Overview
Our Comprehensive Business Development Strategy
is designed to elevate your business growth efforts with precision and effectiveness. Acting as the foundation for all business development initiatives, this strategy becomes your datum point for success.
It all begins with a detailed analysis, where we assess your business in great detail, from its current position, past strategies, and existing assets to date.
Next, we analyse the characteristics and preferences of your target audience to create customised strategies that deliver sustainable, long-term results. This approach ensures that, even as new clients are drawn in, your business is fully equipped to manage the increased demand efficiently and effectively.
Strategic Blueprint
A strategic blueprint serves as a roadmap for achieving your desired outcomes. It encompasses thorough analysis, clear objectives, resource allocation, and accountability. This blueprint helps organisations align their efforts, prioritise resources, and adapt to challenges, all while staying focused on long-term success.

Absolutely Flawless!
Director of a FM Firm, Nottingham
"After doing lots of research into various companies, I decided to go with Saint as they really understood what I was looking to achieve. From our first meeting, my partner and I knew that this was going to be a long great working relationship. The knowledge and work ethic of the team is second to none.
The business has had a massive change over the last 6 months, from being 100% word of mouth, we have leads coming into the business when needed and we have had consistent growth month on month. Couldn’t thank Saint enough."
Fantastic team, fantastic results.
Electrical Contractor, Bristol
"We’ve worked with the Saint team over the past year and they’ve delivered real transformation. While sales were strong, gaps in systems, workflows, and director delegation left us stuck in a Groundhog Day cycle. Every time a project ended, it felt like we were starting over, with no real momentum being carried forward.
Saint helped us implement robust processes, improve delegation across the business, and build a stronger operational structure. This has allowed us to scale more sustainably, reduce day-to-day pressure on directors, and focus more time on strategic growth and future planning."
Over the moon!
Commercial Fit Out Cat B, Canary Wharf
"From 2M to 4.5M in the span of 2 years. We’ve always had ambitious goals and this was no different, our initial communications with Saint were laid out in a beautifully crafted BD Strategy, and they really understood what we were looking to achieve and our business model. The Saint team structured a plan which is unlike I’ve seen before, every angle and approach was considered and was constantly being monitored to ensure we were heading in the right direction.
Happy to say, Saint has become our BD Function, and I couldn’t be happier."

What sort of support do I receive?

What do Quarterly Workshops consist of?
Our Quarterly Workshops create consistency in your business development, providing regular checkpoints to stay on course. They account for any changes within your business or the wider market, allowing us to stay flexible, realign where needed, and prioritise what matters most.
Each session, we review and update your strategy, challenges, goals, capacity, systems, performance, and growth, ensuring your business remains focused and adaptable. We also use this time to plan for the forthcoming quarter, setting clear priorities and action points to drive continuous progress.
We carry out prework ahead of each Quarterly Workshop, which includes updating your strategy, pulling all relevant data points, reviewing performance, and conducting updated analysis to ensure our strategy is based on the latest insights.
Following the session, we complete post work, which involves further updates to the strategy, planning for the next quarter, setting refreshed OKRs, developing new action plans, and preparing meeting-on-meeting (MoM) documents to maintain momentum.
Your dedicated strategist will guide you through each Quarterly Workshop via video meeting, typically lasting between 1 to 2 hours. This focused session ensures you have expert support in reviewing progress, adapting your strategy, and planning the next steps with clarity and confidence.
What is the difference between the Strategy and the Quarterly Workshops?
The initial strategy is like building the engine – it sets the foundation, direction, and structure for your business development efforts. It ensures everything is aligned and ready to drive growth effectively.
The Quarterly Workshops are how we fine-tune that engine. They allow us to review performance, adjust the plan based on new opportunities or challenges, and keep everything running at peak efficiency. In short, the strategy builds the system, and the Quarterly Workshops keep it performing at its best.
How does the Business Development Strategy Work?
A Business Development Strategy creates a targeted, results-driven hyper-focused approach to your company’s growth. Through a comprehensive audit of every area of business development, we assess your current position and ensure you’re on track for success. By leveraging these insights, we make strategic, data-backed decisions that drive long-term growth, helping you build your business with confidence and efficiency.
What happens after the Business Development Strategy is completed?
Once the Business Development Strategy is finalised, we deliver the comprehensive document, spanning approximately 50 pages and featuring a well-structured layout. This will provide you with a thorough comprehension of your current business development positioning and furnish you with an actionable plan outlining the steps necessary to progress towards your goals. The next step is where our Quarterly Workshops come into play—ensuring the strategy stays up-to-date and growth remains accountable.
How does Saint Global Business Development Solution ensure measurable results?
Data is key in everything we do. Within your Business Development Strategy, we will pinpoint a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) to delineate successes or setbacks. Upon finalising the Business Development Strategy, our Quarterly Workshops take effect, ensuring our targets and goals are being achieved.
What support does the Saint Global Helpdesk provide?
The Saint Global Helpdesk provides expert support for a wide range of queries, from business strategy guidance to technical troubleshooting. We respond ASAP, ensuring minimal disruption to your business.
Why is a 12-month commitment important for achieving results?
Most companies are not regularly sitting down each quarter to review their business in a structured way. Our approach helps businesses build the discipline and "muscle memory" needed to consistently drive business development and strengthening the company's long-term resilience.
Business development is not an overnight process. Achieving true, sustainable growth requires consistency, continual refinement, and the flexibility to adapt strategies over time. A 12-month partnership enables us to build momentum, make improvements based on real data, and deliver lasting results.
Why do I need a Strategist?
A strategist brings structure, clarity, and expertise to your business development efforts. Rather than reacting to challenges as they arise, a strategist proactively guides your business towards its goals, identifying opportunities, addressing weaknesses, and ensuring that every action taken supports your long-term success. Having a strategist ensures you are making informed, strategic decisions based on insight, not guesswork.
Ongoing management is just £295 per month, giving you direct access to your dedicated strategist, regular strategy updates, in-depth strategic analysis, and quarterly adjustments to your business development plan. For less than the cost of a junior hire, you get a senior strategist on your team.
Will I need additional investment after the strategy is completed?
The Business Development Strategy will provide a clear roadmap and outline approaches to address your key challenges, however, the full implementation of each recommendation would require additional, separate engagement.
While the strategy equips you with the direction and plan needed to move forward, achieving the full benefits outlined — such as a system implementation or staffing changes — would involve further investment in resources, support, or services beyond the initial strategy work.
Are meetings in-person or virtual?
We operate virtually by design, allowing us to deliver a highly responsive, results-driven service without the overheads of regular on-site visits. This streamlined model enables us to offer exceptional value, with pricing that reflects our service.
Many competing agencies often charge £200–£300 per hour with minimum retainers of £2,000 per month, our model keeps costs transparent, efficient, and firmly tied to delivering measurable results.
