If you are in business development, it’s important to stay connected to the buzz in the marketplace. One of the hard things is to find a single place to gather all your news sources. Biz dev can be written about in marketing magazines, books, industry magazines, online in blogs and forums. It’s a disparate subject and isn’t easy to collate for easy consumption.
I find two main sources helpful – Twitter and RSS feeds. If you aren’t’ yet using a feed reader, it is really useful because it gathers all your RSS sources into one place. Consider trying out Google Reader or Bloglines.
Today I publish the ones I read most often
- Fuel Lines
- B2B Lead Generation
- Social Media B2B
- Creative Brief
- RSW
- Alchemis New Business
- Blowin’ in the Tradewind
- Digital Body Language
- BL Ochman’s Blog
- Web Liquid
I should add that the last couple are more about internet marketing but they often give me great ideas for campaigns and articles to write for CreativeAgencySecrets.
Any more biz dev blogs I should be reading? Send over your suggestions.

Rebecca,
thanks for the call-out to Digital Body Language, much appreciated, and I’m glad that you enjoyed the posts. I haven’t been called a “business development” blog much, so I’m especially glad you found it worthwhile.
