Adding a new member to sales team can be a long and risky process. To get them onboarded (hired/trained and ready to make calls) can take up to 90 days. Studies have shown that it can be anywhere from 6-9 months before they are effective and 12-18 months until they are producing like one of your veterans. That's a long time for a company to pay salary, taxes, insurance and benefits...and let's not even discuss the cost if they don't work out.
RelationsDEV was created to help businesses grow and create new opportunities without taking on the risks and uncertainty of adding to their sales team. We want to get your business into new markets; increase it's visibility within your business community and help foster new relationships to drive business growth. We want to cut down the steps, time and money that it takes to add to your team buy increasing the effectiveness of your current sales staff.
We contain the risks of adding to your team while adding to the production of your seasoned hunters.
What could you do with a strategic partner supporting your team?
Our team identifies, nurtures, and advances high-value relationships—then works alongside your sales team to support the journey all the way through to contract execution. Think of us as your front-line growth engine: we prepare the ground, plant the seeds, and cultivate the relationships—so your team can focus on closing and scaling.
Trade shows, conferences and expos are a time suck and money pit...
Trade shows are expensive—far beyond booth fees.
Your sales team’s presence comes with hard costs: salaries, flights, lodging, meals—and even more importantly, lost time. Productivity dips before the event, stalls during it, and post-show momentum is often spent playing catch-up while trying to qualify and chase down leads.
RelationDEV changes that dynamic.
We get fully trained on your offerings in advance, represent your brand on the floor and beyond the booth, and handle initial outreach and relationship-building with leads. Once those prospects are engaged and qualified, we loop in your sales team to do what they do best—present value and close.
The result? Your business has a strong, professional presence at the event, your pipeline grows, and your core sales operations continue uninterrupted.
RelationDEV represents your brand at events, driving qualified leads and building relationships—so your sales team can stay focused and your pipeline keeps growing without disruption.

The fees for business management consultants or lead generators can vary widely based on several factors, including experience, the complexity of the project, and the geographic location. Typically, consultants charge either an hourly rate, a daily rate, or a project-based fee. Hourly rates can range from $100 to $300 or more per hour, while daily rates can range from $1,000 to $3,000 or more per day and lead generators can charge $1000 per lead.
We will set up a consultation to determine the scope of work, the estimated gross revenue from the project and the time/manpower that will be needed. The great news is that it will be significantly less than the cost of adding a new employee(s).
The timeline for seeing results or receiving recommendations from a business development partner can vary depending on the nature and scope of the project. Some smaller projects may yield results in a matter of days or weeks, while larger, more complex initiatives may take several months to complete. We will work together to provide you with a clear project timeline and milestones during the initial engagement.
