A day in the life of a Business Development Manager

As a European Business development manager your objective is to initiate and nurture the early-stage dialogue with high value leads and prospect accounts, ultimately identifying and qualifying potential opportunities for new business growth.

The plans and tactics you employ to deliver your objectives are multifaceted and require you to spin many plates while maintaining a hand-in-glove collaboration with our marketing, partner alliances and regional new business teams.

Due to the nature of what you will be selling and who you will be selling to, you will operate with an approach that focuses on quality over quantity approach – in Demand Generation we do not copy and paste, we do not rely on mass emails to drive leads and are entrepreneurial in everything we do. As such, your messaging and the connections you make with prospects will be value orientated, carefully considered and personalised while remaining focussed on your overall objective.

• Inbound lead follow up – the foundation of the role and function of the team, you will respond to high value leads that engage with Valtech from one of multiple sources such as marketing and events, by triggering a value orientated, multi-touch follow up plan to initiate a dialogue and ultimately qualify for pursuit.
• Supporting Valtechs priority projects and events – you will be part of the core team that supports a series of events and priority projects across the year. You will participate and actively contribute to pre planning and also deliver pre and post event connection plans to high value leads and notable accounts.
• Priority account outreach – responding to insight and intelligence from across our network, you will be charged with developing and implementing strategic outreach plans toward priority prospect accounts, collaborating with the wider agency to arm yourself with the insight to make an informed and multi-thread approach.
• Maintain CRM data – you will maintain all lead and account data in our CRM to an exceptional standard, always working to our SLA and best practices.
• You will attend weekly and monthly, regional, and local reporting meetings where you will provide detailed analysis of your lead and prospect account status, successes and learnings.
• Collaborate with your European team of equivalents, share your learnings, best practices and always looking to support them in their endeavours.
