Your job as a business development manager is to identify sales leads, pitch products or services to new clients and maintain a good working relationship with new contacts.

This role revolves around good communication and so whatever business you work in your duties are likely to include:

- Following up new business opportunities and setting up meetings

- Planning and preparing presentations

- Communicating new product developments to prospective clients

- Overseeing the development of training modules

- Project Management

- Providing management with feedback

This job requires a number of skills - good business sense and financial planning, marketing skills, strategy development and implementation.

The finer details: 

- If the thought of sitting behind a desk all day gives you itchy feet, this could be the job for you as you are required to spend a large amount of time visiting clients and attending networking events.

- Want a job where you can progress? This career can offer that. From business development manager you can progress to become a senior development manager and then Head - Business Development.

- Or, using the selling, negotiating and project management skills you- ve gained, you can side-step into other areas of business in the organisation.

- Money!!! Money!!! Money

- Those with 2-3 years of experience will start on a salary of around 3-4 Lakh INR per year. That's not all, there are perks thrown in with your job which includes incentive schemes and other benefits.

Is there qualification required?

- Personal qualities like great communication and sales skills count for more than formal qualifications in this job.

- However, we will be looking at candidates with an MBA degree from a reputed college as well as having some sales and marketing experience.

OK, I'm interested. But is it really the job for me?

This is no job for shy, retiring types as you- ll need to be bursting with self-confidence, love networking and enjoy presenting and public speaking. It also helps if you have:

- Good business sense

- A deep understanding of marketing principles

- Good communication skills

- A positive attitude

- Negotiation skills

- Plenty of initiative

I HAVE got the requisite skills and qualification. Can I know more where am I applying?
