If you’re even a little uncomfortable selling, Mo Bunnell will ease your concerns. In this concise, practical book, he shows that the essence of effective sales isn’t back-slapping or slick-talking. It’s learning how to be strategically helpful to your clients and customers. This is wisdom everyone in business development could use.

– Dan Pink, NY Times Best Selling Author

This was awesome! I plan to go through the training material to make sure my favorite subjects have been picked up. One of my favorites was the Protemoi List -- I definitely plan to keep using this. Keep on up the great work BIG!

GrowBIG training was informative, revealing and most of all, actionable for our team. We’ve grown our fundraising revenue 70% in four years since acting on what we learned. The best part is that the system is based on authentically helping others, always doing the right thing for everyone involved. The class experience was dynamic. It was full of smart people in professional service, account management, entrepreneurial and fund raising roles. If you’re looking to grow a business—and grow your influence to make an impact—this class is for you.

So amazingly well done. This entire course felt like a really effective consulting session, but it's much more applicable. Rather than fixing one issue, GrowBIG gives you the structure to fix whatever you come up against.

I was always looking for a business development system that made sense in our high-end, expert-driven world. We found one in Mo’s method. The Snowball System is accessible and easy to implement, but most importantly, it works. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

– Bill Ruprecht, CEO of Sotheby's

Finally! I love this approach to business development because it builds on my style and values and it gets results. For several years I had been trying to figure out how to sell our consulting services in a way that felt authentic. I knew I had a strong network but didn’t know where to start in it. And I disliked selling. And I knew that cultivating relationships mattered but didn’t know how to string together a series of conversations with prospects. A trusted advisor of mine recommended this and I’ve been thrilled.

I honestly believe that if I stuck with the process, this has the power to not only propel my career—but it just may even change my life.

The Snowball System has been a game changer in helping our sales teams strengthen client relationships and close business.

I came into the class outside of a business development role, however I feel confident that I could: 1. effectively step into a BD role AND 2. generate business from a non-BD perspective. At the end of the day, we all have a sales responsibility and this course enhanced my ability and confidence to achieve. I loved the collaborative effort. Brilliant people creating brilliant insight. I really enjoyed everything. And, Marshall was an incredible facilitator!

Great professional services firms invest many years developing their people to solve problems and to accumulate domain expertise. But too often, these same firms invest far too little in training those same people the skills required to do sophisticated business development as partners. The Snowball System outlines a learnable approach to doing business development the right way, a way that will be embraced as authentic, proactive, and impactful to clients. This is a must-read.

– Mike Deimler, Senior Partner and Managing Director, Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

Mo Bunnell, after more than a decade of successful and impactful on-site training through two-day seminars for 10s of thousands, has written perhaps the next best BD manual that will guide you to a very successful and satisfying career. Mo backs his process not only with anecdotal observation, but with actual data and research that offers insight into how our minds prefer to work and how to harness the power of our innate desire to be genuinely and authentically helpful. Perhaps more importantly, Mo delivers this information in normal language with practical guidelines in achieving the goals you desire for your professional career. The bonus material delivered via his website alone is worth the time spent in reading and pursuing this method. Your clients will be thrilled with what you learn and how you apply your work, you'll be reintroduced to your family after learning how to step off of the inefficient sales cycle that you face today, and you'll find the satisfaction in your work that's been missing for year.

As a business development professional responsible for training lawyers on sales skills, I have found that most sales methodologies miss the mark for the professional who needs to sell and then deliver his or her expertise. The Snowball System is the first methodology I have found that resonates with the attorneys I support and debunks their previously believed sales myths.

If you are a professional who shutters when you hear the word sales, especially when uttered in the same sentence as the phrase key to your success, then The Snowball System is for you. Mo Bunnell shares the methodology that he developed and refined after business development became critical to his own career success. Mo builds a convincing case that to succeed at sales you only need to be good at learning. Whether you are an actuary, attorney, accountant or architect, applying the methodology outlined in The Snowball System will yield results and grow your practice.

Mo truly backs up his years of evolving this program with a book that details the steps to make you successful. What's more, is none of this is a trick, its genuine. Mo even goes the distance in providing out-of-book tools, spreasheets, lists and assets to assist you as you examine your current state, and plan for a future state that creates a better relationship with your clients. Worth every penny to purchase this book.

I was lucky. I met Mo through a chance encounter that accelerated my career. Since then I’ve become one of the top 10 residential real estate agents out of over a million in the US. And now, The Snowball System can teach you what Mo taught me. Don’t just buy this book, devour every word and put the concepts to work. You won’t regret it.

– Bonneau Ansley, CEO, Ansley Atlanta

Being a checklist/write it down kind of guy, this book is laid out perfectly by Mo. In fact, I'd say his first pen and paper exercise is already worth the price of admission. He has you walk through your current and 'wanted' relationships to check where they are, and gives so many tips on how you can push them forward by helping the other person.

In fact, when you zoom out, this is a book about helping. Yes, you are helping current or potential customers, but Mo doesn't shy away from the fact that they are helping you as well. As always throughout the book, he'll pull out the research to show exactly why this works.

An excellent read for anyone in sales or managing people!

I have had the opportunity to learn business development by working with several talented individuals. Most seemed to operate intuitively. In my current role, business development is a crucial skill for me. As someone who started out my career in an engineering role, business development skills did not come naturally to me. By a chance encounter, I had the opportunity to hear Mo speak at a alumni event and his way of thinking about business development resonated very well with me. Since then, I have had the opportunity to get to know him and hear him explain how he put together the “Snowball System” over time. Reading the book feels like hearing him talk – a remarkable accomplishment! What I have found most valuable is Mo’s ability to deconstruct and demystify the business development process; and provide a concrete roadmap on how to build this critical skill. Most importantly, the focus on helping others throughout the process really changes the game from trying to “sell” a service to working together in a mutually beneficially way. If you are involved in any way in the professional services field, you will definitely benefit from this book!

I run a real estate firm that helps business owners make complex decisions. We’re good at it, but it can be hard to say that to prospects or even quantify good. Mo and his BIG Training helped me to prioritize business development tasks and told me it was ok to break it down into a bite sized process. This training is the cornerstone of our strategy and execution in pitching and onboarding new Clients. He taught me how to teach my Partners to build presentations that touch all personality types and we’re on track to double our business by instituting his tactics. Mo’s/BIG’s training pumps you up, for sure, but we left with a basket of tools that we could use to really grow our business. And it wasn’t a puppy, either, that required endless maintenance. Mo’s tools are easy to integrate and start using day one.

I've always felt like business development needed some secret sauce that guys in blue blazers must have learned at some business school that I didn't go to.

But this book totally shatters that paradigm and opened the door for me to completely rethink how I approach success in my businesses. The Snowball System is an amazing resource for changing how you think. It's helped me align my goals with my actions, and given me a direct path to go from hoping I could make some business partners and close a deal, to feeling completely confident that I know exactly how to approach every meeting I have.

I really really really wish this book had existed 10 years ago. I can see so many opportunities that I missed simply because I had framed the problem in the wrong way, and now see all the ways I could have given myself more 'luck.'

This is one of those books I'm buying several copies of to give to friends and colleagues... It's that good.

“Believe it or not, you are a salesperson.” So begins The Snowball System with the truth about any of us in professional services. The good news is selling can be learned, and Mo Bunnell has documented how to excel at it in this book.

Mo draws on his vast experience to break down each of the steps of successful business development, enhanced by research in behavioral psychology and supplemented by a raft of online worksheets. The scope is comprehensive, covering prospect targeting, positioning, lead generation, client planning, meeting preparation, and more. The process is scalable to a sole proprietorship, small business, or large corporation. You can use it to bolster BD skills for yourself, for your client/prospect team, or for any large group with revenue responsibility. Mo walks you through each step of the system, stating the purpose and describing what to do -- and what not to do. Most steps have an associated worksheet you use to customize the process to your circumstances, support execution, and measure progress. As I was reading the book, I found it helpful to have the relevant worksheet open (by smartphone or computer). For me, the worksheets are a great asset because they provide the framework for practical application of the system.

The conversational style of the book makes it easy to read, understand, and apply. And the text is sprinkled generously with anecdotes, humor, practical advice, and nuggets of wisdom. (An example: “...real, sustainable business development isn’t about selling as it’s traditionally understood at all. It’s about being strategically helpful.”) So when it comes to knowing what to do to be successful at business development, there are no more excuses! Mo Bunnell has done the research, provided the process, and built the tools. Now it’s up to you to act on it.

The biggest a-ha moment for me was how to be seller-expert.

Mo Bunnell puts together a system that's easy to use and integrate into anything that requires relationship building. What stood out the most to me is not that there was a new way of doing things, but that there were easy ways to tweak what I already do to make building relationships even better. This has a place in both my personal and professional life. I can't wait to see how integrating some of these habits helps me grow with clients and friends. Mo Bunnell is sharing his masterclass and you would be a fool not to try it.

Sales professional Mo Bunnell pulls back the curtain on business development (aka, “sales”) and reveals it as a skill everyone CAN and SHOULD acquire. His concept of the Seller-Expert is a truly unique perspective and is worth the cost of admission. The book draws upon personal experience, research and the results for his company as his clients.

The Snowball System reads like an easy conversation with a down-to-earth, wise (and funny!) friend. In reality, the book is a master class in building relationships, serving clients well and cultivating expertise that anyone can easily implement with minimal effort. The book is an entertaining mix of personal stories, facts and even neuroscience and shows that Mo doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk. I’ve read a number of sales books; the Snowball Systems covers more than you’ll expect. It’s a step-by-step process that results in a sustainable, profitable sales engine, and the “rituals” to sustain it.

There’s a ton of valuable information throughout the book. I found myself looking for a recap page at the end of each chapter to help me remember it all. Thankfully, there are almost two dozen worksheets included to lend focus, clarity and intention to building and sustaining the snowball.

Mo Bunnell's book The Snowball System: How to win More Business and Turn Clients into Raving Fans, is an exceptional book that I recommend for not only business professionals but also those in school who are preparing to be a business professional. This book has tips and tricks for being successful while also building relationships by teaching readers what goes on behind the scenes of the person on the other side. By having strategic methods, relationships can be built. As Mo talks about in the book, the HBDI model helps to understand people and what type of person they are. By learning this method and being able to talk to people in a way according to their style, it is easier to build relationships in your personal and professional career. I recommend this book because it helps you to learn a lot about not only who you are, but who other people are as well.

Working in a relationship business, I think it is important how to effectively and efficiently leverage relationships. This course provided me the tools to do just that.

The What Do You Do? was helpful in generating interest. And, the Protemoi List taught me to systematically focus on potential clients. Everything was incredibly helpful!

We all know there are a lot of books that claim to teach people how to sell things - this is not one of those books. The Snowball System reminds the reader that we successfully manage professional careers by having the client's best interest in mind. When we do that, we create a new paradigm that is about helping clients solve their most important problems and not selling them things they don't need. So the question becomes what do we need to do to put ourselves in front of potential and prospective clients in the first place? This is where the Snowball System truly delivers an organized and powerful, yet simple enough for anyone to manage, process for identifying the right clients, developing leads, and closing deals. And most importantly, a process for retaining good clients for long-term success.

The book is pretty thorough and includes insights into the research and academia that supports a number of ideas and concepts throughout the book. As a partner at an engineering consulting firm, I have applied these tactics in my consulting practice and encouraged my employees to read the Snowball System as a way to enhance their careers and grow our company. I would strongly encourage folks to make this a must read for anyone that wants to be successful in business.

Well-planned and refreshing. Full of new ideas and reminders of the ones we should never forget. Looking forward to using Protemoi Lists and the 21 Steps in the future!

I read lots of books and most of the business books offer a new insight based on research. From there, I'm left to consider what's possible. This one doesn't do that. Mo Bunnell gives you research and then tells you what to do next. He helps you build a system and provides worksheets to capture your tailored thinking. I've never met a perfect book and this one isn't either. This book will not magically make you rich and automatically serve you a cappuccino. It does offer the reader guidelines and helpful hints to grow their professional services business. The book is worth far more than the price.

I'm usually very skeptical with training courses - this one was top shelf. And, I don't give praise often…

Excellent course. Mo is always a very dynamic and enjoyable instructor! There was a significant shift in my thought process of how to approach sales and communications based on the tools and HBDI.

Mo mastered the game as a premier seller-expert for a number of years, and wrote down his system for success in this book: why wouldn't you at least want to know what he used to succeed? His step by step instructions are backed by science, challenging (get a cup of coffee ready!!!) but fair, and (honestly) pretty exciting. They help you feel like you're taming the beast that is the BD paradox (the fear that more work only makes you more busy), and they lay the groundwork for what will become your system for success. Anyone who picks up this book will have already used a system to master their craft - why not do the same for BD? I've been implementing Mo's suggestions for only a few weeks now, and have already won a job, with promising meetings set for two other potential projects. All this to be said: it works!

There was a knowledgeable instructor who communicated well and an experienced cohort I could learn from. Left this session with new contacts, friendships, and a lot to think about.

I am now more aware of my current state, and the gap I need to cross to reach my goals, than ever before. I'm just glad that this course gave me everything I needed to bridge that gap.

I'm an FAA Coach and I would love for every FAA to have this as part of their original training prior to entering production. This has been the best training I have ever done!

Thank you SO much! This was such a positive experience and has given me great energy to return to my job with. All your work to make this possible is appreciated beyond words. I honestly can't think of anything I would change! The whole thing was wonderful and valuable, giving me great tools to make growing my personal book of business a more tangible goal.

The Whole-Brain Four Quadrant thinking was so insightful. Learned how to talk about myself; I now know how to effectively say what I do at every stage of my career. Can't wait to continue to implement these tips!

While many of the basic principles are things I already do in external BD (although not always as purposefully as discussed in the course), my biggest revelation was thinking about how I could apply these same concepts to internal leadership and management of my staff as my role evolves over the next few years. The HBDI Index is great tool to evaluate differences in communication; I cannot wait to apply what I learned.

I left this training with an open mind to the different quadrants and how they can be used to benefit my business. I learned better structured planning, better habits, and developed a better understanding of myself.

This course taught me how to interpret people's business practices as functions of their brains and ways to appeal and understand people who think differently from me. As a college student given the opportunity to go through the training, I am so much more prepared and aware about the business world. I can't wait to continually use what I learned as I prepare to navigate the business world full time.

I enjoyed reading this book. For someone like myself that is not considered a sales person, the concepts in this book had me hyped like I can do this! A good read and book to continue to reference .

I read most of Mo's book on a plane and hotel over the past week. As a former partner of Mo's at Hewitt, I have witnessed firsthand Mo's development and implementation of the Snowball System with his clients and team mates. I have poured through his exhaustive research and methodology years ago when it was in it's infancy and found it to be extremely well-researched and practical. Anyone who serves clients needs to read and apply these learnings in their work and potentially even their life. Great work, Mo!

This course gave me a lot of insight to business development and a framework to new business models that I was new to previously. Every group interaction and participation added benefit for me. I look forward to establishing better relationships (in just 21 days!) and implementing new ways to get leads.

This course gave me insight into a process for doing something that does not come naturally to me—moving my acquaintances or friendships toward business development. This course provided me the tools and techniques to move prospects down the pipeline and track my progress every step of the way.

The long and short of it comes down to this.  I have been through several sales training programs and I feel this was the most comprehensive that I have received to date.  The 17 modules were unique and relevant to how a sales team can establish consistent success.  Our team started using the tools and the language immediately after our training and we are adopting a strong path forward to continue utilizing the tools your team has provided.

The most valuable part of my GrowBIG Training experience was learning how to create an effective plan and, more importantly, dedicating the time to execute that plan. I learned to focus on what is important and spend time on activities that provide the greatest return. I would not change a thing about this course! I made incredible connections through the group sessions and learned powerful, result-driven content to push me further in my career.

This course changed the way I think about certain aspects of business development. Before, I did not treat BD as a step-by-step process. This course changed my perspective and provided a comprehensive system to help me implement business development every day, even when I am busy doing legal work.

Mo was superb! This course taught me how to be intentional with business development. This program gave practical advice linked to "blindingly obvious" (once you think about it) theory. I am excited to incorporate thirty minutes of business development, using GrowBIG techniques and tools, into my everyday routine to foster better relationships with prospects, clients, and my team.
