This module delivers a proven framework for engaging major corporate players that have already invested in your region. Whether through facilities, workforce, real estate, or influence. You'll discover how to move beyond one-size-fits-all pitches by demonstrating relevance, alignment, and long-term value.
From navigating corporate hierarchies to crafting compelling value propositions, Enterprise Development equips your team to approach, win, and retain high-profile members.
If they're profiting from your community, they should be contributing to your organization. Period.
Why this module matters:
Imagine a long-term houseguest who eats your meals, uses your space, and enjoys all the benefits of your home—yet never pitches in.
Now replace that guest with a global brand thriving in your region's economy, while giving nothing back to the organization that's advocating for a strong business environment, infrastructure, and legislative priorities that impact them daily.
Enterprise Development is built on years of real-world experience and teaches you how to shift this imbalance. You'll learn how to:
Identify corporate players already benefiting from your work
Audit your organization's assets to ensure your value proposition resonates at the enterprise level
Understand current corporate trends, including ESG, workforce engagement, and local investment metrics
Navigate the corporate maze, including how to deal with complex hierarchies and gatekeepers
Avoid the top three critical what-not-to-dos that stall or end large prospect conversations
Speak the language of enterprise leaders, using tested phrases and positioning that drive interest and action
Add real, meaningful value that makes membership feel like a strategic decision, not a charitable one
Organizations that succeed at enterprise development don't treat large companies like any other prospect—they tailor, research, position, and elevate the conversation. And the results speak for themselves: greater revenue, stronger partnerships, increased influence, and long-term organizational resilience.
Enterprise Development helps you stop hoping large companies will engage—and start
