About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and highly driven SaaS Business Development Manager with 4+ years of proven experience in B2B SaaS sales .

The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience selling SaaS products, digital platforms, software solutions, or technology-led products to B2B clients and should be comfortable owning the complete sales cycle independently — from lead qualification and discovery calls to product demonstrations, negotiations, objection handling, and closing.

This is not a purely managerial role. The candidate will be expected to personally handle calls, conduct product demos, generate/qualify opportunities, negotiate with decision-makers, and close deals , while simultaneously managing and driving a business development/sales team toward its targets.

The candidate should also have a strong understanding of digital marketing concepts such as Google Ads, Meta Ads, SEO, lead generation, conversion funnels, and performance marketing , as the SaaS platform being sold is closely connected to digital marketing/business growth.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct discovery calls with prospects to understand their business requirements, challenges, and objectives.

Follow up consistently with prospects and maintain a healthy sales pipeline.
Achieve individual monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue targets.
2. SaaS Product Demonstrations
Conduct compelling and customized SaaS product demos for B2B prospects.
Understand the prospect's business before every demo and tailor the presentation accordingly.
Translate technical/product capabilities into clear business benefits.
Demonstrate how the platform can help clients improve their marketing, lead generation, sales, customer acquisition, or business performance .
Work closely with product/technical teams when required to address complex client requirements.
3. Lead Conversion & Pipeline Management
Qualify inbound and outbound leads based on business potential and buying intent.
Maintain accurate sales pipelines and forecasts.




Ensure timely follow-ups at every stage of the sales funnel.
Track lead-to-demo, demo-to-proposal, proposal-to-close and overall conversion ratios.
Identify bottlenecks in the sales funnel and implement strategies to improve conversions.
Maintain accurate information in CRM systems.
4. Team Management & Execution
Manage, mentor, and guide the assigned Business Development/Sales team .
Set daily, weekly, and monthly activity and revenue targets.
Monitor individual team performance and sales KPIs.
Conduct regular pipeline reviews and sales performance meetings.
Coach team members on prospecting, discovery calls, demos, objection handling, negotiations, and closing techniques .
Help team members improve conversion rates and achieve targets.
Lead by example by actively participating in sales calls and closures.
Build a high-performance, target-oriented sales culture.

Google Ads / Google Search Ads
Meta Ads / Facebook & Instagram Ads
SEO
Lead generation
Performance marketing
Conversion funnels
Landing pages
Customer acquisition
Digital campaign performance
CPL, CPA, ROAS and other basic marketing metrics

The candidate does not necessarily need to be a hands-on digital marketing specialist , but must understand these concepts well enough to confidently sell a SaaS platform associated with digital marketing and business growth.

Mandatory Requirements
4+ years of relevant B2B SaaS sales experience.
Strong experience in selling SaaS products, software platforms, digital products, or technology solutions .
Proven experience in end-to-end sales and closing deals independently .
