Business Development Manager at BabelQuest
Hi, I'm Christian. With a proven track record in sales leadership and optimising sales operations, I've transitioned into an exciting new role as a Business Development Manager at BabelQuest.
My journey began heading student recruitment at Oxford Royale, where I gained hands-on experience implementing and optimising HubSpot as a client. This background has equipped me with deep insights into leveraging CRM systems and sales AI enablement to drive revenue and foster strong customer relationships.
I'm passionate about helping companies unlock new opportunities with HubSpot, and applying my expertise to facilitate significant digital transformations for clients.
Outside of work, I enjoy the great outdoors, whether road or mountain biking in the Cotswold or Chiltern Hills, along with tennis, culinary arts, and tackling DIY projects.
About my role
What does my typical day as a Business Development Manager at BabelQuest look like? It's genuinely all about connecting with businesses and helping you thrive. My passion is deeply understanding your unique challenges, then showing you how our inbound strategies and HubSpot expertise can truly drive your growth. I'm dedicated to forging meaningful partnerships and demonstrating the real, tangible value we bring.
What My Day Looks Like (and How It Benefits You!)
- Hunting for the Right Fit: My mornings often kick off with a cup of coffee and a deep dive into HubSpot CRM and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. I'm like a detective, piecing together clues to find companies truly ready for a transformative shift. This careful research means when I reach out, it's because I genuinely believe we can help you.
- Sparking Real Conversations: Once I've found promising businesses, it's about crafting personalised messages or simply calling directly. My goal is to start a real dialogue, sharing how BabelQuest has empowered others and hinting at the exciting possibilities for your own growth.
- Deep Dive & Discovery: The most rewarding part of my day comes during our discovery calls. This is where I truly listen. Every business has its own story, its pain points, and big ambitions. By asking the right questions, I aim to pinpoint exactly how our inbound and HubSpot solutions can be the missing piece of your puzzle – helping you solve problems and seize opportunities.
- Crafting Solutions Together: Once I have a clear grasp of your needs, I team up with our internal experts. Together, we brainstorm and build tailored proposals. This isn't just a list of services; it's a clear picture of the value and ROI you can expect, directly addressing your specific challenges with our proposed solutions.
- Building Lasting Trust: Throughout this entire journey, fostering trust and building lasting relationships is paramount. For me, it's not just about a sale; it's about demonstrating that we're genuinely invested in your long-term success, long after our initial conversations.
I'm always eager to connect and explore how we might help. Ready to chat about your business's goals?

What I love about BabelQuest
|
What I love about BabelQuest is the incredible opportunity for continuous learning and growth that's truly embedded in our culture. As a business development manager, it's inspiring to be part of an organisation that empowers us to not only master our tools, like HubSpot, but also to truly push their boundaries. I thrive on the freedom to experiment, deeply understand client needs, and collaborate with product teams to find innovative solutions. This environment of "failing fast" means we're constantly evolving and delivering the very best for our clients. Beyond the technical aspects, the culture at BabelQuest is genuinely exceptional. There's a strong sense of trust, allowing us to take ownership of our work, while also providing a fantastic support system of colleagues and management. Being surrounded by a team of passionate experts who are all striving for excellence is incredibly motivating. It truly feels like we're all in it together, working towards shared goals and celebrating successes. I also value the unique position we hold, becoming an extension of our clients' teams, deeply integrating with their objectives and contributing directly to their success. Finally, what truly stands out to me is witnessing the transformative power of the inbound methodology when clients fully embrace it. It's incredibly rewarding to see the significant difference in results when clients partner with our strategists to develop and adhere to a comprehensive inbound plan. This proactive approach, where we're not just executing tasks but actively supporting clients in achieving their targets, is where the real magic happens. It reinforces my belief in what we do and the immense value we bring to businesses. |
