Doug FletcherDoug Fletcher has 25 years of business development experience in management consulting.  Now, he splits his time between coaching and teaching others the craft of business development.  Doug coaches consultants and professional service providers on how to grow their individual practices by applying the business development lessons in How Clients Buy.

Doug Fletcher is simply a catalyst for good business decision making. Doug has always been able to provide a new perspective for even the most difficult business situations faced by today’s leaders. It is his willingness to gather and listen to the perspectives from all parties that allows Doug to provide the sound counsel which guides organizations successfully forward. I highly recommend Doug.
