Business Development Consultant (BDC)
Entry into a Career in Oracle Sales
Business Development Consultant (BDC) is the biggest gateway into a sales career at Oracle, the most respected and successful enterprise Technology Company in the world.
BDCs nurture and maintain successful relationships with Oracle customers. This is a sales “hunting” role and includes engagements companies and organizations of all sizes, complexities and needs. You will work with key internal stakeholders and groups - including sales & product managers, industry sales directors, marketing and partner sales. You would be responsible for identifying, uncovering and qualifying opportunities to support sales account strategies and solution based growth.
Successful candidates will be executing effective sales campaigns at specific customer and prospect audiences. Ultimately BDCs are responsible for a significant proportion of the pipeline development for sales.
We expect all BDCs in 1.5 to 2 years to progress into digital sales after demonstrating solid development and results in hunting, solution knowledge, sales skills and customer engagement (C-Level, LOBs, etc.). There is a clear career progression plan into Oracle Digital (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-wCHkooiEA) and ultimately into highly regarded and sought after field sales roles.
This role is primarily phone and internet-based, you must be comfortable with cold-calling, social selling, and work with customers to understand and meet their needs to achieving pipeline generation targets. Successful candidates typically are highly motivated and ambitious individuals who wish to launch successful careers into enterprise technology sales.
This role reports directly to the business development manager (BDM).
