Thanks for the invitation
agree with Mr. Eyad answer
Its not wrong to know all aspects as it will not harm
In order to save time though, aspects that should be taught to them must first be linked directly to the topic as they can benefit the growth and whatever they learn should be matching for the implication of their ideas.
Other aspects learned will expand their knowledge to tackle issues from different perspectives hypothetically wise
Thank you for the invitation ... Essentially, web design and advertising is an input to business development, and the knowledge of designers and developers of the basics of business development is currently very important to reflect the correct and positive image of the company and also contribute to the business development activities in the company and the development of its website

Yes, its important to contribute in company's growth, this will not only help you to grow but also will help you to improve your skills!
Yes! not only to contribute on the company's growth but their own career growth
Freelancing on the side to earn extra income is all well and good. But if you want to start a business that generates a full-time income, here are some things to know about business development.
1. Web Design is a Commodity
Low barrier to entry and an abundance of do-it-yourself options means clients have too many choices and no basis upon which to make the best decision. The sooner you acknowledge this, the easier it will be to break out of the commoditization trap.
2. Sales is a Skill You Must Acquire
If you’re unable or unwilling to learn how to sell your services, consider partnering with someone who can. Otherwise, don’t quit your day job.
3. Prospecting for Business is not Optional
“Sales” is everything that occurs after a prospect agrees to meet with you. Finding people willing to meet with you requires prospecting. While it’s not impossible to grow quickly through word-of-mouth alone, it’s the exception, not the norm. Just like SEO, word-of-mouth requires time; it doesn’t happen overnight. If you’re just starting out and need clients right away, go out and find them.
4. Cold Calling Works
Despite claims to the contrary by so-called experts, cold-calling is one of the most effective means to obtain new business. Unless clients are beating a path to your door, don’t be too quick to dismiss cold-calling.
5. Prospects Aren’t Buying What You’re Selling
Business owners don’t value your HTML skills or your time. They value vendors who produce results. Business owners are concerned with what puts money in their pocket or what keeps money in their pocket. If your service doesn’t directly impact their bottom line, you’re not selling what they’re buying.
6. Your Biggest Competitor is Not Who You Think
Over the years, I’ve lost more deals to the decision to do nothing than other web firms. Before getting too cozy with that prospect, find out whether this project is mission-critical, or if “doing nothing” is an option. As Seth Godin says: “Are you really worth the hassle, the risk, the time, the money?”
7. Never Offer a Proposal
Writing a proposal is a poor way to close a deal. But when I first started out, I’d offer to write one instead of simply asking for the sale. Once I learned otherwise, I found I could close a deal on a verbal agreement, then write the proposal to finalize the sale. So don’t write a proposal unless your prospect has agreed to sign it.
8. Never Agree to “Final Payment Upon Completion”
Obtaining content from the client is one of the most challenging aspects of web design. You are on dangerous ground when your contract stipulates that the client can make final payment upon completion. Conceivably, a client can delay the project for any number of reasons that are beyond your control and you might never see that “final payment.”
9. Clone Your Best Clients as Soon as Possible
Chances are, you’ll stumble on some good clients by accident. You know the type—the ones who give you plenty of ongoing work, always pay on time, never badger you for a lower price, and send you a gift basket at Christmas. Once you land a few of those, figure out what characteristics they have in common … then go after others like them.
. Two Are Better than One
Having been in business as a both sole proprietor and a partnership, I can say that I prefer the latter. That said, a bad partnership can be nearly as disastrous as a bad marriage. But considering that partnerships generate more revenue than sole proprietors, I’d say it’s worth the risk.
