The Challenge of Staying Switched On
When a B2B client brings you on, you're not just delivering a service—you’re stepping into their team. That kind of integration sets technical professionals apart from most other providers. The way you show up day-to-day shapes not only the outcome of the project, but your long-term relationship and reputation within their network.
More than any website or pitch deck, it’s your presence—steady, professional, responsive—that defines how clients experience your firm.
Twennie helps you stay “switched on” in the moments that matter most—because that’s where trust is built, and business development truly begins.
The Project Lifecycle - According to the Client
Staying “switched on” means staying engaged with your clients—even when there’s no active project on the table. In fact, that in-between time can be the most important.
For clients, projects are always in motion—shaped by budgets, internal conversations, shifting priorities, and long-term goals. Strong business development isn’t about waiting for RFPs. It’s about staying visible, listening closely, and building trust long before the formal process begins.
When your team understands the project lifecycle from the client’s perspective, you’re not just well-positioned to respond. You’re already part of the conversation.
Clearing the Underbrush of Distractions
Business development in technical services often drifts outside the comfort zone. Negotiation, candid conversations, and difficult feedback don’t come naturally to every technical professional—and over time, the industry has responded with layers of structure: forms, flowcharts, models, platforms.
These tools are meant to create clarity, but too often they create distance.
The real challenge today isn’t adding more systems—it’s cutting through the noise and reconnecting with what matters: honest, human conversations about the work.
Twennie offers tools and strategies to support that connection—but more importantly, we help teams refocus on the relationships that drive trust, loyalty, and growth. That’s where business really begins.
