As a deeply technical person, I am trying to figure out business development.

I have come to a stage in my career where I am more valuable in finding projects for my team, than in delivering projects myself.

So as somewhat of a prerequisite, I need to learn about personal / team branding, relationship building, marketing, and consulting sales.

While this is definitely out of my comfort zone, and I'm still figuring out how to actually be competent at this, I believe it will be a valuable skill to one day start my own company.

PS: If anyone has good resources, do share !

I have my own company with 10 employees and only recently started out learning about business development. I recently took a coach for sales and she could provide valuable info. now I figured that it would be better to hire someone who does that for me.

that being said, I believe that you shouldn't wait until you learned skills X and y until you open your own company. you'll never start if you always think that you have learn more before you start
