Selling expertise
Selling trust before there’s anything to see.
In professional services, the buyer is paying for people and judgement, not a product they can test. The best business developers build relationships over years, work closely with partners and delivery teams, and know which deals are worth pursuing. We look for that record.

Writing a sales job description
What to include so proven reps apply: the quota, territory, on-target earnings and what success looks like, with a template.
