Account Planning The Business Development Representative will understand the market they operate in and work to identify, onboard, and grow new customers to the FleetPride network. They will assess the competitive situation in the account—including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats—and educate the customer on FleetPride’s value. Accounts are maintained and updated during the year per the specified cadence (e.g., monthly, quarterly), and updates are socialized internally to receive feedback from managers and peers. Call Planning The Business Development Representative determines the objective of the sales call ahead of the call, prepares by anticipating barriers and planning how to overcome them, and leverages sales force automation tools to set call objectives, discussion topics, and preparation areas. After the call, the OSR uses the CRM and supporting tools to record focused and accurate call details and post-call results efficiently. Customer Needs and Assessment The Business Development Representative asks simple, direct, open-ended questions, observes current and future sales opportunities, and employs questions about the customer’s business to uncover expansion opportunities and future needs. They establish trust and engage customers in discussion of account business needs. Value of FleetPride The Business Development Representative keeps an open dialogue with customers to continue driving value, communicates how FleetPride delivers value, and gathers feedback to identify ways to increase mutual value, including incremental needs and opportunities. Teamwork The Business Development Representative identifies appropriate teams and resources, leverages catalogs, call centers, third‑party information, branch expertise, and other subject matter experts, and maximizes business results. They elevate customer issues to the correct resources for resolution while serving as a conduit between FleetPride and the customer.
