Good ideas and good business depend on good people, and

EBD is the nation's premier provider of outsourced business development services to banks and financial institutions.

Our non-bank clients are similarly diverse. EBD’s greatest accomplishment is helping so many companies truly embrace the concept of building relationships rather than simply selling products and services.

As a boutique business development firm, we believe in the entrepreneurial spirit and practice the art of Respectful PersistenceTM. We build professional relationships based on commitment to shared values of persistence, resiliency, and attention to client needs. If you have a passion for helping other businesses grow and prosper, you may be a good fit for our team.

A Lead Generation Specialist introduces new corporate products or services to potential prospects through outbound cold-calling. Primary responsibilities involve tracking prospects, appointment setting and following up on leads the organization provides through our CRM application, based on the clients' project needs. A Lead Generation Specialist handles the overall appointment coordination between the prospect and client. Our seasoned Specialists are business professionals with a strong background in building B2B relationships. EBD prides itself in building long term relationships with our clients which extend beyond the conclusion of a project.

Truly successful practitioners of business development, especially in the world of high-value, relationship-oriented business, almost always use a concept that we call Respectful Persistence™. This subtle skill strikes a delicate balance between diligently pursuing a prospect and always maintaining a high level of respect for their boundaries and wishes.

A significant part of the training that is integral to our agents' preparation focuses on Respectful Persistence™. We teach our agents how to use each contact with the prospect as a way to underscore how important, satisfying and appropriate a relationship between our client and the prospect would be. At the same time, we measure and allow for the wishes of the prospect for time and space between contacts or interactions. This process requires that our agents have a high degree of listening skills, sensitivity and judgment while still being able to be assertive in pursuing an appointment with the prospect. The real key to achieving this state of balance is to be able to quickly engage the prospect on an emotional level and build rapport and trust. When this happens, the prospect is much more likely to let down his or her guard and truly connect with and "get the message" from our agent.

Equally important is the follow-up process. Having the tools to track and manage the follow-up actions is critically important as is the discipline to crisply execute the plan for follow-up.

This philosophical commitment to Respectful Persistence™ is engrained in every service we provide our clients. Whether our agents are calling the prospect or our client's business development team is calling or visiting with the prospect, this same skill set will make the difference between mediocrity and the kind of "best of breed" business development techniques that our clients have come to associate with Expert Business Development, LLC.
