Business Development Specialist

AP3 Technologies is a Philippine-based commercial consulting and go-to-market firm helping businesses develop stronger revenue systems.

Our work spans GTM engineering, business development, revenue operations, market intelligence, and strategic commercial advisory.

We believe revenue rarely breaks in one place. Often, the challenge lies in how different parts of a company's commercial system work together.

About the Role

We are looking for a Junior Business Development Representative (BDR) who can help us initiate, develop, and maintain relationships with prospective business customers.

This is not a traditional high-volume cold-calling role.

The companies we work with operate in B2B markets where purchasing decisions can involve significant investments, multiple stakeholders, and longer sales cycles.

Because of this, our approach to business development emphasizes research, thoughtful outreach, genuine conversations, and relationship building.

You will engage with professionals and business decision-makers, understand their needs, identify potential opportunities, and help connect them with the appropriate sales representatives.

We are not looking for someone who simply follows a script or tries to book as many meetings as possible.

We are looking for someone who is curious about businesses, communicates well, builds rapport naturally, and can develop into a strong B2B sales professional.

Key Responsibilities

Prospect Research and Preparation

• Research target companies, industries, and relevant decision-makers.
• Understand a prospect's business, market, and potential challenges before initiating contact.
• Identify appropriate stakeholders and opportunities for meaningful engagement.
• Work with the GTM team to develop relevant prospecting approaches.

Relationship Development

• Initiate professional conversations through LinkedIn, email, calls, and other appropriate channels.
• Build rapport with prospects and develop relationships over time.
• Personalize communication based on research and actual business context.
• Maintain thoughtful follow-ups without relying on aggressive sales tactics.
• Represent the company and its clients professionally.

Business Development and Qualification

• Understand prospective customers' business needs and areas of interest.
• Ask relevant questions to determine whether a potential commercial fit exists.
• Recognize when a prospect is ready for a deeper sales conversation.
• Coordinate introductory or discovery meetings with the appropriate Account Executive.
• Provide context and qualification notes to support a smooth handoff.

Pipeline and Relationship Management

• Maintain accurate records of prospect interactions and follow-ups.
• Track relationship progress using the company's CRM and reporting systems.
• Coordinate with GTM Engineers, Account Executives, and management.
• Share market feedback, prospect objections, and observations that could improve our commercial strategy.
• Help maintain an organized, high-quality business development pipeline.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome early-career applicants and individuals who want to develop a career in B2B business development.

Qualifications

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to build rapport and communicate professionally with different people.
• Curiosity about how businesses operate and make purchasing decisions.
• Willingness to research and prepare before contacting prospects.
• Strong listening skills and attention to detail.
• Good organization and follow-through.
• Comfortable learning new software, CRM systems, and prospecting tools.
• Open to coaching, feedback, and continuous improvement.

Previous experience in business development, sales, customer-facing roles, or account management is an advantage, but not required.

Familiarity with LinkedIn, B2B SaaS, technology companies, or consultative selling is also a plus.
