Being a business development representative can be somewhat monotonous and stressful at times. The interviewer wants to know that you will structure your day in such a way that you incorporate some stress relief, collaboration with your team, and blocks of solid time for placing calls. Emphasize that you are organized and able to prioritize your workload.
"I would start my workday by looking at my calendar and to-do list so I know what meetings, prospect appointments, follow-ups, and other items are on my agenda. Then, assuming my team meets daily in the morning, I would meet up with my team in order to make sure we're on the same page when it comes to goals and prioritization for the day. Early morning through lunch would likely be a call block. At lunch, I will definitely take at least 30 minutes to destress by taking a walk and talking to colleagues. I feel this is imperative given the tediousness and challenges that sometimes arise from making calls. The afternoon will likely be split between follow-ups and making more calls. My days may somewhat vary from this, but these are the general tasks that I will likely allocate time for during my days."

My day is structured with a balance of prospecting and cold-calling potential prospects. Cold call in the morning and prospect in the afternoon. Spend an hour listening to my own sales calls and an hour debriefing and recapping my day before I clock out.

Nice! You might mention that this is how you currently structure your day, and while you foresee yourself continuing to structure your day in this manner, you are flexible and open to making changes if needed. Explain why it's beneficial for you to cold call in the morning and prospect in the afternoon. Also, explain why you listen to your own sales calls and spend time debriefing/recapping the day. Including more information will make your answer more impactful. Good job!
