VP of Business Development -- Presentation Testing, Inc.

VP of Business Development About this company: Presentation Testing, Inc., is the industry leader in scientifically testing and refining the effectiveness of business and issue-advocacy presentations. The firm helps its clients—which include some of DC’s most influential trade associations—become more successful by applying the power of behavioral science and social psychology to the process of dial testing. In its research, our focus group moderators instruct study respondents to provide moment-to-moment feedback to help refine the messages its clients deliver. This is done by directing each audience member to turn a hand-held dial to give continuous feedback as they watch a speaker. This feedback pinpoints the presentation's "weak spots" based on a single criterion, such as agreement, understanding, or interest. Follow-up conversations probe for “why.” The Perception Analyzer dial technology we use at Presentation Testing has been widely employed for ad testing, political research, media testing, and jury testing. Job Summary: Presentation Testing, Inc. is seeking a business development expert with experience selling professional services to trade associations, advocacy groups, and think tanks. This position will be based in the Washington, DC area.
