I did work very closely with the product development, however actually my question was why the title Business Development seems to give negative vibes for people? And is this the case all over the world?
The job I was denied btw was a sales job and the feedback was that my Business Development experience was not sales enough.
- michaeldhopkins 15y agoProbably it's just that business development is too loosely defined. I've seen it applied to everything from heavy enterprise sales to college students hired to pass out flyers. No different than any other generic title in that respect. Probably, sales at this company meant something more pressured and your range of sales experience and more relationship-managed approach wasn't what they wanted. That, or the interviewer wasn't listening to you and had a simplistic, title-based view of the world.
