Business Developer: What this profession is all about

This page will show you all you need to know about business developers.

Business developers are responsible for broadening the company’s strategic vision. Their aim is to increase turnover by finding new growth drivers. This is done through new customer acquisition, business plan development and improved marketing or communication. They are therefore linked to the company’s main departments (sales, marketing, finance, legal) and must act in a coordinated manner with the various teams in order to bring a new dynamic to the company.

Whether it’s a start-up or a large group, all companies go through phases during which they need a boost. To boost sales, bring a new product to market or simply attract new buyers, the solution is to hire a business developer. They can also be referred to as a business development manager or sales manager. A business developer’s background provides them with a solid foundation in the business world. They often come from a business school, an engineering school or have a master’s degree with a business specialization. That doesn’t mean that more atypical profiles are excluded. Indeed, many salespeople who were previously employees become freelance business developers.

Their knowledge of a company’s various sectors makes them truly versatile. They bring new insights to the company and implement a business strategy that will enhance growth. Their specialty? Finding new market shares to propel the business. But their role is not limited to these direct levers for increasing turnover.

  • Perform market analysis
  • Continuously monitor the sector

  • Come up with the right business model
  • Implement various strategies to increase sales of products or services
  • Liaise between the sales, marketing, financial and legal departments

In order to positively impact a company’s turnover, freelance business developers must have a wide range of skills. They must be creative, a good listener, and have strong business skills.

In general, business developers specialize in a sector to master the workings of the market. Throughout their career, they’ve built up an extensive network of contacts that’ll enable them to better understand each project.

Negotiation and customer relations are at the center of their focus. Freelance business developers are also familiar with the various departments and possess an excellent team spirit, which is essential to coordinating their actions. They are used to working alongside marketing consultants, strategy consultants, sales, etc. Real entrepreneurs and strategists, and business developers anticipate opportunities.
