Vacancy
As a Business Developer at Ebury you are co-responsible for the expansion of Ebury’s client base. Ebury is a financial service provider that offers currency exchange services (foreign exchange) and trade finance to small and medium sized companies (SME) and SME+ that trade internationally. As a Business Developer, you search for potential clients through for example LinkedIn, your own network or lists of relevant trade shows. You usually approach them by phone. During the conversation with a potential client, your main goal is to carefully listen to the client’s challenges. When you understand the pain points, you provide the client with the best possible advice with the aim of the company becoming an Ebury client. In addition, you are frequently on your way to meetings or conferences to find new contacts. Taking initiative and creating ways to find new relations or open new markets are highly appreciated.
When you reach your personal target, you will be promoted to Senior Sales 1. On average, you achieve this target within 6-12 months.
You have to like convincing people through ‘cold’ calling, you have to be good at listening and you have to be able to cope with rejection. Getting excited by targets and working hard to achieve them is important in this role.

I have an enjoyable day when I have had good conversations with potential clients and have discovered a solution that suits their needs.
A day is less enjoyable when you have to make a lot of phone calls and not many people answer or the conversations are very short and useless.
