E-consultancy launches 2006 business development guide

E-consultancy has launched a 2006 version of its popular business development guide 'Winning New Work', which was first published in 2003.

The 58-page report contains practical advice from business development professionals including tips from 15 leading digital agencies about the best way to generate leads and secure new clients.

The guide is divided into two parts with comprehensive sections on "generating leads" and "winning the pitch". It includes how-to articles from industry experts and a wide range of resources aimed at helping digital-focused businesses to win more business.

Ashley Friedlein, E-consultancy's CEO, said: "We know from the 2003 version of this report how useful it has been for agencies and consultants who want to ramp up their business development efforts.

"It has been a painstaking process to gather all this information in one place but the aim is to save agencies time and effort so they can focus their business development efforts in an effective and targeted way."
