Business Development Associate

Bts-International • New York, NY

1d • $70,000 - $75,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The greatest ideas in the world will die on the vine if not properly implemented. At BTS, we turn our clients' ideas and strategies into results. We do this by designing customized learning experiences that drive innovation, alignment, and performance. As a Business Development Associate, you'll use an analytical approach to drive lead generation for new client pipeline development and existing account expansion, as well as support the overall sales initiatives of our rapidly growing US business. Your primary responsibility will be to generate and develop sales leads with large, Fortune 1000 type companies, particularly using tools such as salesforce.com and LinkedIn. Extensive internet/database research and email work will be part of your everyday life, and some cold calling may be necessary, but not always. If you enjoy identifying target companies through key industry vertical research, managing sales opportunity follow-through, organizing client meetings, and assisting in the development of sales and marketing language and strategies, then you'll love this role. This is a great opportunity for someone to rapidly take on significant responsibility and have a real and measurable impact on the overall growth of the company. Although you will be part of a growing and dynamic global sales team, you will, over time, develop the skills to operate successfully with minimal support. This role is based in NYC, and we have a hybrid work environment with an expectation of at least 4 days a week in our NYC office.
