How often do you look for opportunities to approach potential new clients?

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 take on more job orders from reviving 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 temporary staffing recruiter."
