- The Strategist: You understand that business development is about relationships, not just transactions. You are patient, persistent, and professional.
- Self-Starter: As this is a commission-based role with a low basic-salary, you must be highly motivated by results and possess the discipline to manage your own pipeline independently.
QUALIFICATIONS
