Dear All,

I am working for an architecture company that specializes in commercial architecture. I need your help as we are looking for a Business Development Manager. The major question is: does an architecture company need someone for business development? However, my management believes that I have to do so. What points should be kept in mind while recruiting the right person for this role? What qualifications should a candidate possess?

Criteria for an architect:

1. Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering
2. Course in Architecture preferred or experience working with an Architectural firm.
3. The major criteria are communication and convincing abilities.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Manish,

I agree with whatever you said. But our sir told me to look out for someone who has a pleasant personality and is good at presentations, preferably from an airlines or media background with knowledge of corporate sales, and who is interested in selling our services. So, in order to find such a person, what can be done? What approach can I adopt?

Thank you.

The Business Development Manager or Marketing person should have the same background in Architecture for technical presentations. Individuals from other sectors such as aviation or media may not possess the expertise in architecture.

Dear Rashmi,

I agree with the views expressed by Mr. Manish and Mr. Pon. A pleasant personality and good presentation skills are essentially a part of soft skills. The base has to be architecture to explain the nuances to the client.
