I would suggest to start not with specific KPIs, but with a strategic business objectives. Before focusing on KPIs you need to understand how what business development manager is doing will help your company. What is more important is to understand the cause and effect connection between what manager is doing or will be doing and these business objectives.

For example: “Location Finding shortlisting.” How do your manager know that the location is what your business is looking for? Why do your business need this location? What are requirements for this location? That’s why it is crucial to create a strategy map in a first place. Once you have it the task of finding KPIs will be solved easier.
