Ep 367: How to Interview a GovCon BD Rep (Without Getting Fooled)

In this episode of Game Changers for Government Contractors, host Michael LeJeune dives into a powerful guide for interviewing business development (BD) reps in the GovCon space. Michael shares how to spot red flags, detect lies, and ask strategic questions that reveal whether a candidate can execute—not just interview well. You’ll learn how to test coachability, uncover true experience, evaluate how they handle rejection, and assess their ability to research and strategize. This episode is packed with tactical advice that will help you hire smarter, avoid costly mistakes, and find the right BD talent to drive contract wins. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or making your first BD hire, this is a must-listen.
