My agency is looking to add a part-time bus dev role to help us continue to grow. It could become full time if the work starts to flow. Any other small agencies willing to share your approach to bringing on new talent in this area?

Hi there! I’ve seen this work but a part time situation will probably be more like a rep situation where you pay some stipend then heavy on commission. Only down side versus hiring a full time person is you have much less control. But if you find the right person and you are good giving them long leash and lots of flexibility it could be a great fit. Small risk on your part. Would be interesting to know more about the type of agency and type of clientele. Biz dev can either be sales focused and simply getting introductions or it can be a principal team member driving the main focus of the agency. Or you could focus energy on building content to drive in bound. As opposed to outreach. Wide range.
