• Researching the needs of other companies and learning who makes decisions about purchasing

• Developing quotes and proposals
• Negotiating and renegotiating by phone, email, and in person

Of course, as with all office jobs, documentation is also a big part of the work. Business development professionals are also obligated to write reports and provide feedback to upper management about what is and is not working.
