Community Answers
A large part of a business development representative's day is spent on the phone leaving voicemails and talking to prospects. The interviewer will only be interested in candidates who enjoy being on the phone so you'll want to indicate that this is the case. Someone who doesn't like or feel comfortable being on the phone will not be a good fit for this position.
"Not only do I enjoy being on the phone, I just like to talk in general! I consider myself friendly and personable. I'm someone who likes to meet and learn about new people, so I really enjoy reaching out to people I don't know, introducing myself, and getting to know them. I also like the challenge of figuring out what someone's pain points at work are and determining how I can help them. I'm fully comfortable with the idea of spending multiple hours a day on the phone leaving messages and chatting with prospects."

Yes, I love to talk on the phone. It all started at Eastern Account Systems, where I was thrown into the fire and had to make 30 calls/hr, around 300 calls a day. I became an expert at talking on the phone.
