Who we are

We work with entrepreneurs, business owners, directors, managers, and their teams and almost exclusively with businesses operating in a business-to-business environment.

Improving business development through high-level problem solving has long been the focus of the David Reid Group – and is a rarity in the Australian market.

Having immersed ourselves in business development almost exclusively within the B2B environment for more than 25 years, we’re hyper attuned to the challenges that can impact a company’s success in this fast-paced area of business.

Our vast experience provides our clients with access to a deep well of knowledge and understanding of how to overcome the business development hurdles they’re facing, paving the way for this part of their business to flourish.

What all our clients have in common is that they excel at what they do

At some point in their journey, each organisation develops an awareness that they need to better build their business development function to realise greater levels of success. They actively seek out this support from us, understanding this aspect of their operations has been somewhat neglected in the past.

At David Reid Group, we adopt a highly consultative approach. Firstly, we carefully listen to our clients and their stakeholders and analyse relevant data, including what we’ve come to learn about the business. From there, we make smart recommendations. Finally, and most importantly, we help our clients act on our advice to achieve success.

At all times our focus is centred on helping our clients more efficiently get where it is they want to go.

David Reid

Like so many people who end up excelling at business development, David fell into the field at a young age.

He was fortunate that this twist of fate provided the opportunity for him to learn the ropes from a business and team of people who knew business development well.

After five years in that business-to-business environment, David moved into consulting in business-to-business sales and has now been living and breathing business development for over 25 years.

“I’ve spent a lot of time inside businesses and with businesspeople and I understand them well and I’m very comfortable with all of them, even if they’re a bit tricky or difficult,” explains David.

“If you’re a consultant who wants to help people, you need to have the flexibility and dexterity to meaningfully connect and engage with all the types of people you’re going to come across – and you’ve also got to be able to say what you see in a way that will be heard, so people can genuinely onboard it.”

David’s deep fascination with understanding those around him prompted him to attain an undergraduate degree in Psychology – on top of completing post graduate studies in marketing.

“All businesses are powered by people and better understanding how these people function in the workplace and in their work relationships can support companies and leaders to transform,” he states.

“Helping our clients understand and address what they’re wrestling with in this way is integral to what we do.”

Leaning into growth mindset principles stemming from psychology, David designed and delivered the key modules for the Curtin Growth Program, part of Curtin University’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, over a 15-year period.
