Solving the business development bottleneck with speed, context, and consistency

This is the second post in our five-part series on how AI is transforming key workflows in market intelligence firms. If you missed the first post on the big picture, you can read it here.


The Proposal Is Due in 48 Hours

The client wants a tailored response. They’re asking for relevant examples, a clear point of view on market dynamics, and a compelling value proposition. You know your team has done similar work, but the content is buried in folders, decks, Teams messages, and people’s memories.

You check the CRM. It gives you contact history and deal stages, but not the proposal that actually won the last engagement. You ask a colleague if they remember which case study you used last quarter. They’re in meetings all day.

This is how business development still works in many market intelligence firms. The knowledge exists, but it’s scattered, siloed, and hard to reuse—especially under pressure.


Why Business Development Still Feels Manual

Most business development teams have tools in place: a CRM, branded templates, and shared folders. But these tools weren’t designed for how market intelligence firms actually win work—especially in today’s environment.

Here’s where the process often breaks down:

Time is lost on work that already exists

Custom proposals can take few days to assemble, even when much of the content already exists elsewhere.

Knowledge is fragmented

Insights from past wins are spread across documents, emails, and individual memory. There’s no unified way to search across all of it.

Messaging lacks consistency

Without shared language and positioning, proposals vary widely across teams, clients, and service lines.

Personalization doesn’t scale

Clients expect tailored outreach, but creating it manually is hard to sustain—especially with lean teams.

Context is missing when it matters

Proposals often go out without the benefit of real-time market shifts, competitor moves, or client-specific signals.

Expectations have changed

With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, clients expect fast, relevant, and well-informed responses.


How AI Helps Business Development Teams Move Faster and Smarter

AI is not a replacement for the business development process. It is a multiplier. It turns the knowledge your firm already has into something accessible and usable—instantly and at scale.

Here’s where it creates real impact:

Draft better proposals, faster

AI can surface relevant content from previous proposals, slide decks, and research deliverables to help build high-quality drafts in minutes.

Reuse what has worked before

Instead of reinventing the wheel, teams can retrieve and repurpose winning case studies, messaging, and differentiators aligned to their offerings.

Personalize at scale

AI can generate tailored outreach emails, pitch decks, and one-pagers by client type, sector, or region—without starting from scratch each time.

Bring in live context

Business development teams can incorporate up-to-date market intelligence and competitor signals into their responses, automatically.

Build institutional memory

Every proposal, every win, and every insight becomes part of a searchable, shareable knowledge base—not just something stored in someone’s inbox.


Where Human Judgment Still Matters

AI does not replace the strategic thinking, creativity, or client relationships that drive successful business development. It won’t choose your win themes or write your value proposition. But it can give your team a running start and reduce the time spent on repetitive, manual tasks—so you can focus on the work that actually moves the deal forward.
