For Limra Events, I’d keep the Business Development Manager requirement strongly focused on corporate events, exhibitions, BTL activations, retail branding, and client acquisition. Current event-industry BDM roles commonly emphasize full-cycle sales, corporate relationships, proposals/costing, negotiation, pipeline management, profitability, and coordination with creative/production teams. Indeed
Business Development Manager – Limra Events
Location: Pune, Maharashtra
Department: Business Development / Client Servicing
Experience: Preferably 3–6 years in Event Management / Exhibitions / BTL / Experiential Marketing / Branding

- Generate recent corporate clients and business opportunities for Limra Events.
- Strong experience in Corporate Events, Exhibition Stalls, BTL Activations, Retail Branding, Dealer Meets, Product Launches and Experiential Marketing.

Candidate We Should Prefer
For Limra Events specifically, I would prioritize someone who already has contacts in corporate marketing/procurement and the events/exhibition industry, rather than hiring a generic salesperson. Existing corporate relationships are also treated as a major advantage in comparable event-industry BD roles. LinkedIn
The person should understand how to take a lead through the complete cycle:
Lead → Meeting → Brief → Concept → Costing → Proposal → Negotiation → PO/Confirmation → Execution Coordination → Payment Follow-up → Repeat Business
Suggested KPIs
I would set measurable KPIs around qualified leads generated, client meetings, proposals submitted, conversion ratio, new clients acquired, monthly revenue, gross margin, repeat business, and pipeline value. These align closely with KPIs being used in comparable event-sector BDM roles. Indeed
For Limra Events, the most important KPI should not simply be the number of calls made—it should be profitable business actually converted.
