Business development with the Balzer & Partner Framework
Building on the Business Model Canvas, Balzer & Partner uses a dynamic, quality-enhancing strategy and sales tool for targeted business development: the “Balzer & Partner Framework”. This model continuously reviews and develops business and sales processes. The “Balzer & Partner Framework” lets us visualize, evaluate and simulate everything, from sales strategies up to business models, holistically or in isolation at the product or service level. In this way, sales and business development go hand in hand. We work at the interface between market research, product development and marketing in order to develop customer relationships quantitatively and qualitatively.
Balzer & Partner can work for you in the following countries:
- Germany, Austria and Switzerland
- Belgium and the Netherlands
- Norway, Sweden and Finland
- Canada and USA
The fundamental component of the “Balzer & Partner Framework” (BPF) include various elements of the Business Model Canvas as well as our own, complementary developments. We use this proven method to quickly determine essential parameters of a business model and/or a sales strategy. When working with the “Balzer & Partner Framework”, it is ideal when colleagues from various specialist departments (e.g. technology, sales …) and management participate. Together, we develop a realistic impression of the existing business model and/or the sales strategy, discover weaknesses and develop optimization potential.
Adapting the BPF expands the model and considers questions about market development in times of digitization. How can a competitive business model be developed that takes into account the fundamental business concept on the one hand and the rapidly changing markets on the other?
