Planning to Succeed

The PACE Pipeline™ also looks at the activities required to create selling opportunities and to managing the flow of business development activities that help firms create a sustainable flow of profitable fee-earning work.

The PACE pipeline is extremely simple to understand much, much more difficult to do really well. A little like learning to play the piano or getting fit, it takes a lot of things: two of them are real discipline and genuine motivation. In our experience over the years we've never found anybody perfect at it but we have found many that are much better than others, those who are better at it generate a sustainable flow of profitable business. With our methodology PACE help improve your pipeline of new prospects, convert them and make them more profitable.
