Business development officers are responsible for increasing company revenue by identifying new business opportunities, closing sound business deals, and identifying ways to retain existing customers or clients. They also manage business development teams and analyze customer feedback data.

When interviewing business development officers, the most suitable candidate will demonstrate strong business acumen, the ability to work efficiently in a high-pressure environment, and excellent decision-making skills. Be wary of candidates who have low energy as well as poor communication, negotiation, and analytical skills.
