What can you tell me about our company?
Any good business development representative researches a prospective client before reaching out to them. The interviewer wants to make sure that, similarly, you've done some research on their company prior to being interviewed. If you show that you are well informed about the company and industry, the interviewer will know that you are serious about getting the job and that, once hired, you will do your research on prospects as well.
"When I saw your job ad on LinkedIn, I already knew of your company because its great reputation in the industry precedes it. I've also personally looked into the services your company offers before because they interest me. So right off the bat, I knew of your company, but naturally before I came to meet with you, I did some serious due diligence. Beyond the services you offer, I am very attracted to the innovative, fun, hard-working culture that your company offers. I also follow several of the higher-level professionals in your company on social media; I value their expertise and would love the opportunity to work with them."

Jaymie's Feedback
Great start! The interviewer wants to see if you've taken the time to research the company and learn more about what they do and what they stand for. Take this opportunity to speak to additional information you've read about the leadership team, their mission, what they value, notable employee reviews, the products and services they offer, or even the customer base they serve. Being able to speak to any specific awards or achievements of the organization will be an added bonus in your response!
