II. ABOUT EMPBINDI INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION

EmpBindi International Association (operating under the trade brand B.Bindi and WPI) is a purpose-driven organisation anchored in driving sustainable, community-centred commerce across India and select international geographies. Through its flagship Climate Smart Community (CSC) initiative, the organisation connects grassroots producers, social entrepreneurs, and distributors with modern retail and consumer ecosystems.

EmpBindi is committed to building resilient, inclusive supply chains and believes that commerce, when structured responsibly, is the most powerful tool for lasting social transformation.

Headquartered in Bengaluru, the organisation is in an active phase of expansion across offline distribution channels, institutional partnerships, and regional field operations. The Sales Wing is central to this growth mandate.

III. ROLE PURPOSE & STRATEGIC MANDATE

The Senior Sales Executive will serve as the primary field-level commercial driver for EmpBindi's offline sales and channel distribution operations across assigned territories in and around Bengaluru. This role is pivotal to translating the organisation's vision of community-centric, climate-smart commerce into measurable, on-ground sales performance.

The incumbent will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of the offline sales lifecycle — from prospecting and pitching, through distributor onboarding, channel enablement, and funnel optimisation — while exercising a sophisticated understanding of evolving offline consumer behaviour in Tier-1 and Tier-2 urban markets.

IV. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES & ACCOUNTABILITIES

A. Offline Sales Execution & Revenue Generation

- Own and drive monthly, quarterly, and annual offline sales targets across assigned territories; maintain consistent revenue cadence and pipeline hygiene.

- Conduct structured, insight-driven sales pitches to retail partners, institutional buyers, distributors, and end customers; adapt messaging to audience profile and buying psychology.

- Deploy and manage in-store and point-of-sale (POS) activations, product demonstrations, sampling drives, and proximity marketing campaigns in high-footfall offline environments.

- Monitor competitor activity, pricing strategies, and product positioning in the offline market; report findings and propose tactical responses to the Program Lead.

- Maintain a rolling 90-day territory sales plan with transparent activity milestones, account targets, and conversion benchmarks.

B. Distributor Network Development & Channel Management

- Identify, evaluate, and onboard new distributors, stockists, and channel partners in target geographies; execute formal onboarding protocols including documentation, orientation, and SOP handover.

- Establish and maintain structured commercial agreements with channel partners, defining targets, credit terms, return policies, and performance review cycles.

- Conduct regular field visits to distributor premises and partner outlets to audit stock levels, display standards, sell-through rates, and relationship health.

- Resolve channel conflicts, fulfilment disputes, and pricing inconsistencies in a timely and professional manner; escalate unresolved issues through defined protocols.

- Develop and maintain a live channel partner database with performance metrics,



contact mapping, and engagement history.

C. Marketing Funnel Design & Offline Campaign Management

D. Consumer Behaviour Analysis & Market Intelligence
