As a Business Development Executive, I contacted business owners and presidents of
companies (in French and English) to set appointments for our sales representatives. I
also assist in the selling process using the knowledge I gained from the prospective client.
I followed up with our sales representatives to insure that the appointments I had made
result in a successful interview and that a new client was acquired. I updated all clients’
data and audit all client records for accuracy. I am responsible for examining all
appointments set in Quebec for accuracy making sure the information’s are complete.
