If you are running out of bandwidth internally; if you are too close to the technical stuff and it’s counter-productive; if you can’t walk away from deliverables; if your team has zero billable hours for networking or no incentive to grow the book of business; if you have a low ratio of repeat business, then you need BD...stat.
