What Does a Senior Business Development Representative Do?

Senior business development representatives research target accounts, identify decision-makers, and engage prospective customers through channels such as email, phone, social media, and events. They qualify leads, uncover business needs, schedule meetings for account executives, and maintain accurate activity and pipeline records in a customer relationship management (CRM) system. Senior representatives may also help refine outreach strategies, share market insights, and coach or mentor less experienced team members.

Strong candidates communicate clearly, ask insightful discovery questions, and tailor outreach to different industries and stakeholders.
