Mo Bunnell Biography

Mo Bunnell is a business development strategist, author, and keynote speaker focused on helping professionals build and expand client relationships. Bunnell founded Bunnell Idea Group, a training, coaching, and consulting firm specializing in business development and sales training. As an actuary and Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, Bunnell identified the need for a systematic approach to business development, leading to the creation of Bunnell Idea Group to address this gap.

Bunnell began his career at Hewitt Associates, where he worked as a Health Care Consultant and licensed actuary. During his tenure, he developed expertise in business development strategy, discovering the importance of relationship-building and client problem-solving within professional services.

Bunnell developed the GrowBIG system, an approach to business development grounded in behavioral science and practical processes. The system includes 17 modules covering lead generation, demand creation, relationship building, discussing financial matters, closing business, and other essential sales skills. Through GrowBIG Training, Bunnell has trained more than 50,000 professionals, including senior executives and teams from Fortune 500 companies, law firms, professional service firms, and nonprofit organizations.

Bunnell is the author of "The Snowball System," a guide for professionals responsible for business development and revenue growth, and "Give to Grow," which explores the growth mindset and strategic giving as key drivers of influence and client relationship management. "Give to Grow" was recognized among the top 10 percent in the Graphic Design USA Awards.

Bunnell also hosts the podcast "Real Relationships Real Revenue," where he discusses business development strategies with a wide professional audience. His philosophy that business development is a learnable skill has positioned him as a resource for experts in professional services, consulting, and sales who seek to grow client relationships alongside technical expertise.

Mo Bunnell Speaking Topics

  • Great Meeting! The Brain Science of Groundbreaking Client Communications

    Effective client communication is one of the most important aspects of organizational growth and client retention. But few people get cutting-edge training on how to create groundbreaking client experiences. In fact, science shows we typically create experiences that we would prefer as opposed to what our clients need to move forward. To thrive, individuals and teams need to understand the four major ways science has shown that people think, and to design interactive client experiences that tap into each of these ways of thinking. By knowing these techniques, individuals and teams can create meetings, calls and interactions that clients rave about. To secretly model the concept, the speech itself is designed in a way that engages every mode of thinking.

  • Breakthrough: Creating Demand for New Services

    Few companies are growing as fast as they would like. The problem? They are too reactive to client needs and too focused on the relationships they already have. The problems with this come from both sides: 1) clients will likely see your organization in the way they’ve purchased from you in the past, not how you can help them going forward and 2) your internal teams are likely stuck in the safety of doing the work they have with the people they already know. To create breakthrough levels of demand, you have to do something different. Mo Bunnell teaches people the science and process of his Give to Get model, an effective way to create demand that both clients and internal teams love. The science is compelling, and the process is counterintuitive, but easy to implement once taught. Not only does it result in growth, but clients absolutely love the process itself.
