Topic - The SME Biz Dev Playbook: AI Research, Personalised Outreach & Content Repurposing
About the discussion
Most SMEs don’t have a lead problem — they have a time, consistency and follow‑up problem. In this fast-paced 60‑minute session, Marnie Wills will show you two practical AI workflows you can use straight away to accelerate business development: (1) lead generation research (finding the right prospects and building quick “deep profiles”), and (2) genuinely personalised outreach that still sounds like you.You’ll see the workflows demonstrated live.
What you’ll learn
• A simple “AI workflow map” for biz dev: inputs → prompt → output → next action.
• How to research prospects quickly and spot relevant angles (without falling into a Google rabbit hole).
• How to turn research into personal, high-response outreach (LinkedIn/email) with clear next steps.
• (Bonus) How to repurpose one idea into 3–5 pieces of outreach/content that support conversion.
What you’ll leave with
• 2 reusable prompt templates: Lead Gen Research + Personalised Outreach.
• Practical guidance on boundaries: what not to automate, and how to protect your reputation when using AI for outreach.
