      Business Development Manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Fantastic training and support from upper management (area manager, VP and president) they are very accessible and WANT to help! -Opportunity to grow and develop a book of business -Ability to book in person meetings with decision makers (CFOs, Accounting Managers, Controllers, HR) -ESOP program -Decent base salary

      Cons

      -Local management micromanages (asking where you're at on a task multiple times in the day) -Local management picks favorites and if you are not the favorite good luck with making a lot of commission (you do not control the whole sales process in this role) - Bad temporary candidates will sometimes get second chances at a second client after messing up and getting pulled from the first client (this doesn't help you get repeat business) -Nashville market is saturated with staffing agencies, so you're competing with 15-20 other staffing agencies for a client's business -Bill rates for temporary services are often higher than other firms (according to clients)

      Great Company with Plenty of Support

      Business development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I came into this position as a direct referral, having no previous experience in Staffing or Accounting & Finance. My office, as well as the management made me feel very comfortable from the beginning, providing tools and supporting documents that were necessary for getting started with developing business. I was provided with a list of companies to work with, what to say, and how to "run my desk." There is ongoing support, starting with your formal training in Boston and is continued through conference calls, annual meetings, marketing etc. CFS is constantly searching for new and innovative ways to drive more business and look to their current employees to share successful tactics, etc. You are responsible for your own work and the business you bring in - the harder you work, the more you gain! There is essentially unlimited earning potential with this job as long as you are diligent and persistent.

      Cons

      It is highly competitive, which might not be the right fit for all personalities. You need to know that there is a lot of rejection associated in the BDM position and be okay with not seeing results for up to a year or more. There is no such thing as "overnight success" - you truly work for every dollar and piece of business that you get. It is a very experiential learning kind of job which sometimes requires you to think on your feet. In many scenarios, there is no "right" answer.
