A Business Development Representative (BDR) plays a pivotal role in generating new business opportunities. This includes researching potential clients, crafting outreach strategies, and managing communications to build relationships that eventually lead to meetings and, ultimately, sales.

To engage potential clients, I would use a combination of personalized outreach via email and social media while leveraging data to tailor messages. I would also ensure to follow up strategically to maintain the relationship and address any questions or needs they have.

In a fast-paced sales environment, prioritizing tasks involves assessing deadlines and potential ROI. I would use a task management system to ensure that important follow-ups are handled promptly while continuously analyzing which leads are most likely to convert.

Handling objections requires patience and empathy. I would first listen carefully to the client’s concerns, affirm their feelings, and then provide data or success stories to alleviate their concerns, turning the objection into an opportunity to demonstrate Glia’s value.

I believe in hands-on experience combined with self-directed learning. I would start by familiarizing myself with the features of the technology through tutorials and practice, while also seeking advice from colleagues or mentors with experience in those tools.

I would use a CRM tool to set reminders for follow-ups and create tailored drip campaigns that automate timely and relevant outreach. Keeping organized and having a plan will help maintain consistency in engagement.

My motivation comes from several sources: the thrill of closing deals, the satisfaction of solving client problems, and the knowledge that my efforts directly contribute to the company’s growth and success.

Researching leads involves using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator to understand their business needs, pain points, and decision-makers. This background information allows me to tailor my outreach effectively.

In a recent group project, I took the lead in coordinating tasks and facilitating communication among team members, ensuring everyone was aligned with the project’s goals. This collaboration not only improved our product but also led to high praise from our professor.

During my internship at Glia, I aim to develop a strong foundation in sales techniques, learn from experienced professionals, and apply my knowledge to help generate leads. I hope to emerge with the skills needed to excel as a future Account Executive.
