Prepare for the Ethos call
Ethos's AI interviewer asks about your Business Development Manager background. These are our own practice questions for that work, not Ethos's.
How do you evaluate whether a new market segment is worth pursuing?
I look at the size of the opportunity relative to the cost of entry, including how different the sales motion or product adaptation needs to be, rather than chasing every segment that shows some initial interest. A segment that requires significant customization to serve is often not worth it unless the volume justifies it.
What's your process for building a pipeline of potential partnership opportunities?
I start by mapping out what a genuinely complementary partner looks like in terms of audience overlap and non-competing offering, rather than pursuing partnerships opportunistically based on whoever reaches out first. I prioritize outreach based on that fit rather than company size alone.
How do you structure a deal to protect your company's interests while still making it attractive to the other side?
I identify which terms are genuinely important to protect versus which are negotiable, before entering discussions, so I'm not making concessions on core terms under time pressure. I also try to understand what the other party actually values most, since that's often not the same thing they lead with.
What metrics do you use to assess whether a business development effort is actually working?
I track conversion through each stage of the pipeline, not just the final close rate, since a low overall conversion rate can hide whether the problem is lead quality, pitch effectiveness, or negotiation. Looking at aggregate numbers alone often points to the wrong fix.
