Business Development is much more than a visit from a sales rep and a quick coffee and gossip. Utilising your business development manager to access their strengths and industry experience is beneficial to your business success, no matter what stage of business you're at.

Sara Whithorn saw this opportunity looking outside inwards to the beauty industry and with a change of career as a mature aged therapist, didn’t waste any time taking these moments for granted.

With a newfound passion, Sara set her sights on climbing the ladder of the beauty industry (which she has done so incredibly fast might I add!) and today she holds space in the Issada team under the leadership of Deb Farnworth-Wood, who she looks up to as a mentor.

Today we talk gratitude, taking leaps and why you should make the most out of your BDM visits.

Making this episode possible is Issada Mineral Cosmetics who have been at the forefront of high-quality, talc-free mineral makeup in Australia for over 15 years and if you hadn't heard the news, Issada has now launched a range of advanced cosmeceutical skincare!
