  • Build familiarity with assigned accounts, priority titles, client workflows, and common use cases for expert calls, surveys, and custom research support.
  • Follow a consistent outreach cadence, including outbound calls, follow-up emails, and continued touchpoints to increase awareness and engagement with prospective clients.
  • Schedule and coordinate introductory meetings between prospective clients and senior sales team members, ensuring clear context is captured before handoff.
  • Accurately document outreach activity, prospect engagement, meeting status, client needs, and follow-up steps in the company’s CRM or internal tracking systems.
  • Partner closely with senior sales team members to understand target account strategy, prioritize outreach, and tailor messaging based on client type, industry focus, and potential research needs.
  • Collect and track feedback from senior sales team members after completed meetings to evaluate meeting quality, client fit, and potential opportunity value.
  • Over time, assist with identifying new target accounts, researching relevant contacts, and building prospect lists aligned to expert network growth priorities.
  • Develop a strong understanding of VISASQ/COLEMAN’s expert network offering, including expert interviews, surveys, and broader research support, in order to confidently communicate our value proposition to prospective clients.
  • Stay informed on relevant industries, client buying behaviors, and market dynamics to support thoughtful and timely outreach.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher
  • Open to recent graduates and early-career candidates; prior experience in sales development, business development, recruiting, client service, or another outbound/client-facing role is a plus.
  • Comfortable with proactive phone and email outreach, including cold calls and consistent follow-up.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to engage professionally with prospective clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple accounts, contacts, and follow-up steps at once.
  • Self-motivated, resilient, and comfortable working toward activity-based and meeting-based goals.
  • Curious and able to quickly learn about client industries, research needs, and expert network services.
  • Adaptable and able to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

The above job description is not intended to be all-encompassing; rather, it provides a general description of the types of duties Business Development Associates can be expected to perform. The nature of the expert network industry allows for a variance in day-to-day tasks. Business Development Associates respond to ever-changing client needs. The types of tasks performed, and the amount of time spent on certain tasks will vary according to client type, client need, and the macro environment of the industries in which our clients operate.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
