What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Developer - US position at Hästens Beds?
Business Developer (The Ultimate Advisor)
The Mandate
We are not looking for a "salesperson." If you want to pitch products and hit a quota by talking at people, go somewhere else. We are looking for the ultimate advisor. Your goal is to build a relationship so deep that the client wouldn't dream of making a major life or business decision without calling you first. You aren't selling a service; you are selling your judgment.
Core Competencies
Extreme Humility: You must be comfortable being the "dumbest" person in the room for a while. You are here to learn the technicals so well that they become second nature.
The "Admissions Mistake" Grit: We value people who feel they have something to prove. If you’ve ever felt like an underdog, you’ll fit in here.
Integrity Above Revenue: You must be willing to tell a prospect not to do a deal if it’s bad for them. Losing a commission to gain a lifetime of trust is the only way we operate.
Attention to Detail: One typo in a client email is a signal of sloppiness. In this business, sloppiness is fatal.
What You Gain
You will learn how the world actually works. You will learn how to communicate, how to persuade, and how to build a network that will sustain you for thirty years. If you survive the first two years of the "grind," you will have earned the right to be a Senior Business Developer.
How To Apply
If you’re worried about the hours, don’t apply. If you’re worried about the "menial" tasks, don’t apply. If you want to be the person everyone calls when the stakes are highest, we want to talk to you.
