Consulting Revenue Generation2-day Business Development Masterclass
Is your consultancy’s business development still dependent on a handful of rainmakers? Are your seniors missing their targets? Does your sales machine need a tune-up? Are your directors visible experts?
It’s been a tough few years for the boutique consulting industry and many consultancies are still using inefficient business development techniques or have simply not trained their seniors in ‘what works’.
Our last Business Development Masterclass sold out in 3 weeks and received a Net Promotor Score of 100. This was down to our trainers who have all been there and done that. The feedback was outstanding but the one thing people wanted was more!
So, this year, we are running a two-day Business Development Masterclass. The same world-class trainers, the same evidence-based advice, the same practical tools and techniques – but an extra day to actually effect the changes we suggest.
Let’s make 2025 your growth year!
- 26th March, Day One: Learn evidence-based best practices for sales success.
- 30th April, Day Two: Small-group practical work to improve your firm’s sales strategy, processes and IP.

Our Testimonials



Rob Kershaw
Thanks Joe. Just wanted to say I thought the Business Development Masterclass session in London last week was brilliantly run and provided a great forum to learn and gain real life insights. The Baringa team have a follow up with Steve in the next couple of weeks to provide wider reflections, but personally I took a lot of value from the session.

No one expect the Spanish Inquisition they say. Nor do you expert poetry, when attending a course on growth for consulting businesses. Yet poetry there was, courtesy of Mark Palmer yesterday at Sea Containers London. Along with the man, the myth, the legend that is Prof. Joe O'Mahoney and his fellow consulting experts Richard Goold and Steve Abramson it was great to be in a room of highly engaged fellow consulting leaders including David Swain. A great day with great people. Would encourage fellow consulting leaders to get themselves along to the next one.

For me it’s a 10 out of 10! A hugely helpful course for anybody stepping into a partner role and looking to accelerate their business development skills. I loved the depth of real lived experience across all of you – the trainers have done it all and have the scars to prove it. Adding Joe’s no-nonsense, evidence-based academic perspective, that makes a powerful combination.

"I'll admit I was a little sceptical as to how applicable it would be for my business (we're a design consultancy rather than a management consultancy). However the content was actually very relevant and I've already booked a session to take our leadership team through some of the themes we need to start focusing on. Thank you also for the helpful resources - it feels like great added value as a delegate to receive such high quality content within the price of the session and will help ensure that the action plan from the day has a chance of being delivered."

It can be a scary world as there is a lot of options and you can never be sure of the quality of the class so wanted to write this to share a great one. Shout out to Richard, Prof. Joe, Mark and Steve who ran a awesome BD masterclass yesterday. Keep an eye out for their next one! If anyone in my network has done a great course recently, technical or not please share in the comments!

Joe O’Mahony’s masterclass was exceptionally good. It was meticulously designed, offering highly actionable insights and tools tailored specifically to the realities of boutique consultancies. What stood out was the generosity of spirit with which the course was conceived and delivered - nothing was held back. Joe, a captivating and thoughtful speaker, anchored the experience brilliantly, and he was joined by a diverse line-up of equally compelling contributors, each bringing their own unique perspectives and expertise. It was an enriching, inspiring, and genuinely useful experience.
