Mo asks Sandy Lutton: If you could record a message around growth and business development and send it to your younger self, what would it say?

Early in her career, Sandy was intimidated by business development and felt that she had to win them over while being perfect, but it doesn't have to be an intimidating process.
Business development is simply about building relationships. Sandy would want to help her younger self take the fear out of the process. It can be fun and engaging, and you will learn a lot along the way.
Practice for perfection, but play for progress. You start to see how brilliant your team is when you plan ahead, and even if you don't win the business, you improve for the next one.
When you're in a meeting, look for the little wins and what the next step along the way is. Make sure you tackle all the issues and break things down into small steps. Moving anything forward during a meeting is a win, so keep that in mind.
Instead of trying to wow the prospect, just give them what they are looking for.
