In a consulting firm what do you call someone who goes out trying to get new customers? I know people sometimes say "I work in customer acquisition" but is there a word for their job other than canvasser (which makes me think of door-to-door selling)?

Comment: "Brilliant, that's what I was looking for. I don't think it can be "customer consultant" because in this case that is the Berater and I prefer it to "customer development officer" because it's not the customer that's being developed but the business."
