As a Business Development Representative, you are the first domino in a long row. Long-lasting partnerships with our clients is what we're after. No pressure though ;-).

Making those partnerships happen requires two things. Number one is just straight up listening to what our prospects and clients tell us; having a deep understanding of their challenges.
