Job Overview

We are looking for an experienced and highly driven Lead Sales Executive to join our EdTech team in Vizag. The role involves taking ownership of the sales process, handling high-intent leads, understanding their requirements, providing accurate course information, and converting enquiries into successful enrollments.

The ideal candidate should work onsite on a full-time basis, have strong communication and sales skills, confidence in handling sales conversations, and the ability to close calls effectively while building trust with prospective learners.

We are looking for someone who is fast, proactive, and always on their toes. Leads need to be contacted promptly, follow-ups need to happen on time, and genuine sales opportunities should never be allowed to go cold due to a lack of action.

Key Responsibilities

- Handle inbound calls and follow up with students, parents, and working professionals who have shown interest in our courses.
- Take ownership of leads from the initial enquiry through to enrollment.
- Respond quickly to new and high-intent leads and prioritise opportunities based on their likelihood of conversion.
- Understand prospective learners' requirements, career goals, concerns,



and budget before recommending suitable courses.
- Explain course details, benefits, career opportunities, pricing, and enrollment process clearly.
- Conduct confident and persuasive sales conversations.
- Handle objections and concerns effectively and move prospects towards a decision.
- Maintain consistent and timely follow-ups with interested and undecided candidates.
- Identify when a lead is ready to close and take the necessary action to convert it.
- Achieve individual sales and enrollment targets.
- Maintain accurate lead records, follow-up statuses, notes, and conversion data.
- Ensure that no high-potential lead is missed, forgotten, or left without timely follow-up.
- Monitor the sales pipeline and proactively identify opportunities that require immediate attention.
- Take initiative in identifying gaps in the sales process and suggest ways to improve conversions.
- Share recurring customer objections, lead-quality issues, and sales insights with management.
- Manage customer queries and ensure accurate information is communicated at every stage.
- Build a positive relationship with prospective learners and ensure a good customer experience.

What We Are Looking For

- Someone who is highly proactive, energetic, and quick to act.
- Someone who is always on their toes and does not wait for repeated instructions to take action.
- Someone who understands that speed of response and quality of follow-up directly impact conversions.




- Ability to independently manage a sales pipeline and prioritise leads effectively.
- Confidence in taking control of sales conversations.
- Strong persuasion, negotiation, objection-handling, and closing skills.
- Comfortable working towards ambitious sales targets.
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability for results.
- Organised and disciplined with follow-ups.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and evolving workplace.
- Comfortable speaking with students, parents, and working professionals.

Required Skills & Qualifications

- Excellent verbal communication skills.
- Strong sales, persuasion, negotiation, and closing abilities.
- Excellent listening and customer-handling skills.
- Strong follow-up and lead-management abilities.
- Ability to prioritise leads and respond quickly.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Target-oriented mindset with a strong focus on conversions.
- Basic familiarity with CRM or lead-management systems is preferred.
- Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.

Language Requirements

- Telugu: Excellent (10/10) – Mandatory

Experience
