Business Developer Review

My responsibilities of my job role are to seek out new business opportunities and develop relationships with existing and new accounts to create more sales opportunities for the branch. I liaise a lot with customers (tradesmen and homeowners), in all forms of communication.

Since beginning my role I have learnt a lot of new things and developed existing skills too. Primarily my people skills and communication, as I have to do a lot of that day to day in a lot of different situations (negative and positive).

It definitely felt rewarding to have achieved something like this alongside of my usual workload and in that sense it was enjoyable for me.

It was generally okay. Some things could have used improvement, perhaps a more concrete schedule of modules and completion dates.

My line manager and team members within my branch have been very supportive and helpful when I've needed them to be, and if I've ever required extra support from people above my line manager I have felt I was given that too.

My coach was always on hand to answer any questions or queries about a module, or schedule a call for extra support on some parts of my ILP when needed.

As I was fresh to this industry when I started, I found it a really good helping hand to help me transition into the industry. It also encouraged me to ask my management and team questions about operations and business aspects I usually wouldn't have.

There probably are but being completely honest I haven't sought out that information.

Yes

It's a good environment to work in and there are some great perks that come with working for the Travis Perkins group.

Be enthusiastic and confident about yourself and your skill set and show a real genuine interest in learning new things and developing your skills.
