Cold outreach has its place.
So does knowing the right person.

BB+T works as an extension of your leadership team to identify the people who matter, create genuine reasons to connect and move relationships from introduction to opportunity.

Not spray-and-pray prospecting.
Not outsourced SDR spam.
Actual business development.

Three ways we get you in the room.

01. Open Doors

Strategic Introductions

Who you should know

We identify the executives, buyers and organizations you should know, and create credible paths to the conversation.

  • Target-market strategy
  • Executive introductions
  • Prospect development
  • Meeting facilitation
  • Relationship nurturing
02. Build the Bench

Referral + Channel Partnerships

Who talks about you when you're not in the room

The best business development engine isn't always another salesperson. Sometimes it's twenty people who know exactly when to bring your name into the conversation.

  • Referral ecosystem development
  • Strategic alliances
  • Channel relationships
  • Partner activation
  • Relationship management
03. Create the Room

Relationship-Driven Experiences

Something better than another Zoom call

Executive dinners. Roundtables. Tastings. Golf. Pickleball. Private experiences. Educational programs. BB+T creates reasons for the right people to spend time together.

  • Executive dinners & roundtables
  • Bourbon, wine & tequila tastings
  • Golf & pickleball socials
  • Seminars & educational programs
  • Private curated experiences

The BB+T Relationship Engine

Not a sales funnel. A network, mapped, activated and advanced on your behalf.

PIPELINE

Not sure it's for you? Here's the honest answer.

"Isn't this just networking?"

Networking is passive. BB+T is active: specific introductions to specific people, tied to a specific goal, not a stack of business cards.

"We already have a sales team."

Good. BB+T doesn't replace your team. It opens doors your team can't open on their own, then hands the relationship off warm.

"How is this different from an SDR or agency?"

SDRs dial lists. Agencies rent contact databases. BB+T works through Ron's own trusted relationships, built over years, not purchased data.

"We're not ready to hire someone full-time."

That's the point of fractional: senior-level access and introductions without a six-figure commitment to find out if it's the right fit.

Business happens between the meetings.

The lunch after the presentation. The introduction before the event. The person sitting two seats away. The conversation nobody scheduled. BB+T makes those moments intentional.

Meet Ron Bruno.

Professional connector. Relationship builder. Guy who probably knows a guy.

Ron has spent his career building relationships across Dallas and beyond, connecting executives, entrepreneurs and professional service leaders who have a reason to know one another.

BB+T was built around a simple observation: growth gets easier when the right people are in the room.

Ron serves on the sponsorship committee for ACG Dallas/Fort Worth, exactly the middle-market executive ecosystem BB+T lives in.

Questions before you reach out.

How fast do introductions start?

Ramp packages are built around monthly introductions from the start. Ron maps the exact timing to your engagement during onboarding, so you know what to expect from week one.

What industries do you work with?

Primarily Technology, Professional Services, Real Estate, Financial Services and Executive Leadership circles, though relationships don't stop at an industry line.

How is pricing structured?

BB+T works in three stages: Ramp (monthly introductions, from $3,000/mo.), Build (produced experiences layered on top), and Scale (expansion into new markets, custom-priced). See the full breakdown on Pricing.

Is this a replacement for our sales team?

No. BB+T works alongside your team, opening doors and warming relationships your team then closes.

Do you only work in Dallas?

Dallas is home base, but BB+T's Scale stage extends into Southern California, the SF Bay Area, Scottsdale, Denver, Austin, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, South Florida and Nashville.

What's the minimum commitment?

Packages are billed monthly. Reach out and Ron will walk you through what commitment makes sense for your stage.

BB+T takes on a limited number of clients at a time, so every relationship gets real attention. See if there's room for you →

Is BB+T the right fit for you?

Tell Ron about your business. Because Ron only takes on a limited number of clients at a time, he'll tell you honestly whether there's room, and whether BB+T can get you where you're trying to go.
