<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Amplify, Chris Camara speaks with Brian Blaha who discusses how accounting firms can scale business development by aligning firm leadership, building structured BD teams, and using CRM and data to track pipeline performance and identify growth opportunities. He emphasizes that while technology and tools like buyer-intent data, dashboards, and AI can make sales processes more efficient, they must support — not replace — strong relationships and human judgment. Ultimately, successful growth strategies combine data, structure, and digital tools with the human skills of relationship building, industry expertise, and emotional intelligence.
