The role owns the sales pipeline, key accounts, and a small team of Sales/Business Development Executives, translating the GM's territory strategy into on-ground execution — from lead generation and client engagement through quotation, order closure, and coordination on project delivery.

1. Sales Execution & Pipeline Management

- Support identification of corporate offices, IT/ITES setups, banks, educational institutions, and hospitals within the assigned territory for outreach.

2. Corporate & B2B Account Management

- Conduct consultative client meetings — understanding requirements before proposing product and workspace solutions.
- Develop and maintain working relationships with architects, interior designers, PMCs, and facility managers who influence assigned accounts.
- Prepare and present accurate, well-structured quotations and proposals within approved pricing and margin guidelines.

3. Government & Institutional Sales Support

4. Project Coordination (FOS Support)

- Coordinate with the design and project execution teams through the Requirement Analysis → Design → Quotation → Execution → Installation → After-Sales stages for accounts under this role.
- Provide site-level inputs on space planning, workstation layout, and product combinations, escalating design/engineering needs to the appropriate team.
- Track project timelines for assigned accounts and flag execution risks to the GM proactively.

5. Team Supervision

- Supervise, coach, and motivate a small team of Sales/Business Development Executives assigned to the territory or vertical.
- Set individual activity and revenue targets for team members and monitor daily/weekly performance.
- Support onboarding and induction of recent sales hires alongside the GM's induction program (product portfolio, FOS workflow, competitor positioning, mock client meetings).

6. Marketing & Market Intelligence

- Support local marketing activities — showroom demonstrations, B2B events, architect/designer meet-ups, and regional trade exhibitions — as directed by the GM.
- Use Featherlite's BIFMA, GreenPro, and BIS certifications as trust-building points in client pitches.
- Track competitor activity (Godrej Interio, Nilkamal, Durian, and local players)



within the assigned territory and report insights to the GM.

7. Reporting & Coordination

- Maintain up-to-date CRM records and provide accurate weekly/monthly pipeline and sales reports to the GM – Sales & Marketing.
- Coordinate with the back-office, design, and project execution teams to ensure smooth order fulfilment and after-sales support.
