Okay, let’s tackle this. So Gary Ruhl has 17 years of experience as a Business Development Manager, which is a significant amount of time. His experience at Revenue Solutions, Inc. and Bull Services spans over three decades, with a focus on business growth and operations. The location is Indianapolis, Indiana, which is not a major hub for high-paying industries. Considering his experience and role, a rate of $75 per hour seems reasonable, which is around $15–20 per hour for a business development manager with similar experience. Some industry benchmarks suggest that business development managers with similar experience can earn between $20–50 per hour, so I’ll stick with the lower end of that range.
