PROJECT OVERVIEW
Elevate Advisors partnered with Blueline, a fast-growing civil engineering and planning firm in the Pacific Northwest, to deliver customized doer-seller training that empowered their team with practical, actionable business development skills. The training was designed to create alignment across roles and experience levels, equipping project managers, principals, and marketing professionals with a shared understanding of how to approach business development with clarity and confidence.
Led by Jen Newman, the program was praised for its engaging and digestible format, combining real-world insights with interactive coaching. From foundational BD concepts to more advanced relationship-building techniques, Elevate helped the Blueline team build a common language and strategy around business development—strengthening their ability to grow client relationships and drive new opportunities.
The impact was felt across the firm, from new project managers to seasoned leaders, with team members calling the training “a must,” “extremely valuable,” and “contagious in its energy.” Blueline’s leadership came away energized and aligned, ready to take their business development efforts to the next level.
