Business Development Manager
CurrentI spearheaded business development efforts by identifying and capturing lucrative opportunities with insurance employee benefits brokers, managing the entire process from due diligence to revenue generation. Through strategic negotiations with leading brokers, representing over 80% of Fortune 500 companies, I successfully generated an additional revenue stream of over $3M. By consistently surpassing sales targets by an average of 115% year-over-year, I drove significant growth.I also minimized implementation times with external partners by 50%, reducing the process from 9 months to 4 months through lean problem-solving sessions across internal departments. Additionally, I optimized contract management processes by fostering strong professional relationships with legal, finance, sales, leadership, and marketing teams. My efforts propelled an 8% annual sales growth within the independent agency channel by introducing and implementing innovative technology solutions.
