Every Story Has a Beginning. Here's Ours.
BD4™ is the AI-first business development engine built specifically for Professionals — lawyers, accountants, consultants, fractional execs and more — who must turn relationships and prospects into clients and revenue.
Our Mission
BD4 ends the business development rollercoaster, so professionals can earn more and live more.
How We Got Here
I spent my career as a consultant and fractional executive. I rode the business development roller coaster. Busy with client work one month. Looking for the next client the month after.
My friend John Yates didn't ride it. For more than 30 years, he stayed in touch with people. He knew who to reach out to, when, and what to say. The work kept coming.
I knew what to do. I didn't do it every day. John did.
BD4 turns what John does into something any professional can use. Ten minutes a day.
What if we could turn what John does into a system others could actually use to build their own pipeline and book of business?
The answer is BD4. An engine that works for you in the background — helping Professionals stay top of mind with their networks — easily, authentically, consistently.
Our Team
Every single member of BD4's leadership team has lived the problem we're here to solve.
Built by professionals who understand the grind of business development and the value of staying connected.
Gregg Bedol is the CEO and Founder of BD4.
He started in management consulting at Arthur Andersen, then founded and ran consulting and fractional executive firms, including Quantuvos. He founded BD4 to break the feast-or-famine cycle, directing the company's vision, GTM strategy, and strategic relationships.
James Simmons is a seasoned technology executive who has driven over $5B in outcomes as CTO or CPTO for high-growth firms like Abrigo and Accruent. At BD4, he engineered the core framework that silently automates the busywork of relationship management, turning static names on a list into active pipelines and high-value clients.

Support Staff
Our Support Staff
The team above does the business development. This team supervises it — mostly from a sunbeam, occasionally from the keyboard. Eleven of them, no direct reports, unlimited PCS.
Quincy
Chief Greeting Officer
Meets every visitor at the door, whether or not they came for him. Never once needed a reason to follow up.
Franklin
VP, Follow-Up
Asks again. Then asks again. The tennis ball has been returned 400 times and he is not discouraged.
Scout
Head of Market Intelligence
Knows who is walking past the house before they do. Reports every finding immediately and at volume.
Benny
Director of Warm Introductions
Has never met a stranger, only a contact he has not been introduced to yet. Works the whole sidewalk.
Pickles
Chief Interruption Officer
Owns the keyboard between two and four. Has shipped several drafts early. None of them were finished.
Fig
Quality Assurance
Sits on everything twice before it ships. If it holds her weight, it is ready for the customer.
Chili
Head of Confidentiality
Small, quiet, and never repeats anything she hears.
Handles her own document shredding.
Edie
Chief Objection Handler
Has an opinion on every draft and shares it without being asked. Tortie. Frequently correct.
Mookie
Director of Sunbeam Operations
Relocates hourly to follow the light and calls it a strategy offsite. Ten minutes a day, done properly.
Boone
Field Marketing Lead
Works the entire dog park in one pass and remembers every name. Brand awareness, four legs at a time.
Chiquitita
Creative Director
Rejected the palette and took the rebrand into her own hands. Purple and pink, no revisions, ships every six weeks.
