Business Development Executive

We
are looking for a resilient, empathic business development executive to
contribute to the growth of our company. 

Job Summary:

The basic aim of business development executives, also known as business
development representatives, is to increase the amount of revenue a business
gains by generating more leads. This role differs from that of an account
executive due to the emphasis on new clients: a business development executive
is more likely to be employed by a company looking to expand its client base,
perhaps by breaking out into new sectors or using new methods of reaching and
communicating with potential leads. So, creative and strategic thinking is
likely to be essential. Maintaining current business relationships will still
be important.

Day to day responsibilities might include:

·        researching potential new leads and keeping on top of
developments in the industry

·        Ability to come up with pitches and willingness to visit
institutions and deliver attention capturing talks about the organization and
its goals, to seek out potential clients.

·        contacting prospective clients through a variety of
mediums – this could include reaching out on social media, phoning, emailing or
meeting in person

·        working with other teams and colleagues to help align
offerings with the needs of clients

·        keeping on top of administrative tasks – such as updating
CRM (customer relationship management) systems

·        holding presentations and demonstrations for potential
clients

·        communicating with and informing existing clients in a
way that supports an ongoing relationship.

Requirements

·        3+ years of business development and immigration
experience

·        Excellent communication and presentation skills

·        the ability to influence and negotiate with others

·        commercial awareness

·        the ability to think creatively and strategically

·        organisational skills

·        self -motivation and the ability to be motivated by
targets

·        resilience

·        basic IT skills.
