"I spend one day per week on business development activities - usually on Wednesday's. Every day, I do keep my eye out for chances to ask clients about new job orders, but I am more focused on business development one day per week. There are opportunities everywhere, and I enjoy finding new ways to acquire new business."

This question is a sales based inquiry. The hiring authority wants to see that you keep your eyes open for opportunities to gain new clients, or to revive a client who has not put in a job order in some time. Discuss the ways you approach opportunities. Be sure to show that you are enthusiastic about business development!

"So far this year, I have acquired four new clients and have taken on 18 new job orders. I first look for new opportunities with existing clients, or clients who have been silent for some time. Next, I will ask for referrals from my active clients and then perform warm calls. I look for new opportunities every day, as business development is a key component to my success as a recruiter."
