Business Development Interview

Managed to leverage my network and land an interview with a small fund for a business development role. My current experience is in operations in the Asset Management space (just finished my first year) and i graduated from a non target. Any advice from someone currently sitting in a biz development position at a small shop? What can I expect in terms of interview questions technical wise? Any advice on how I can compare my current skills to the skills needed to make a successful business development associate? Just generally any advice? Thanks in advance.
