What a Business Development Representative at Ivy Energy Wishes They Had Known Before Entering the Energy Industry
Ava wishes someone had told them that in Business Development, "you're going to get pushback," but that this isn't inherently negative; rather, it's an opportunity to "review and revise your approach," and understand that not every prospect is the right fit, as "sometimes a client isn't meant to be a client."

What have you learned about this role that you wish someone had told you before you entered the industry?
That's a good question. Overall, you're going to get pushback, but the pushback isn't bad.
It just forces you to take a step back and review and revise your approach. Sometimes a client isn't meant to be a client, and you'll find the right ones that are meant to be.
