About the Role

We are hiring a Business Development Manager to drive recent client acquisition for our SEO and digital marketing retainer business. This is a hunter role for someone who has genuinely sold SEO/digital retainers in the Indian agency market — not managed inbound leads, not sold ad inventory, not done generic "IT services" sales.

You will own the full sales cycle: prospecting, consultative pitching to founders/CMOs, proposal creation, negotiation, and closing.

What You'll Do

- Build and manage a pipeline of enterprise and mid-market clients for SEO, PPC, and integrated digital marketing retainers

- Conduct consultative sales conversations with founders, CMOs, and marketing heads — diagnosing business problems before pitching solutions

- Create and present customized proposals and pitch decks (SEO audits, growth roadmaps, retainer scoping)

- Drive outbound prospecting via LinkedIn, personal network, referrals, and targeted outreach — not just RFP responses

- Own monthly/quarterly/annual revenue targets and forecast accurately

- Negotiate retainer pricing and contract terms in line with agency margins

- Work closely with SEO, content, and performance marketing teams to scope deliverables realistically during the sales process

- Maintain CRM hygiene and provide accurate pipeline visibility to leadership

Non-Negotiable Requirements

- Minimum 4+ years in business development / sales role within a digital marketing or SEO agency (not a generic IT/software sales background)

- Proven,



verifiable track record of selling SEO retainers in the ₹50,000 – ₹5,00,000/month range

- Demonstrated experience selling PPC/performance marketing retainers (₹1,00,000 – ₹1,50,000/month range), and ideally exposure to SEO/SCM (social/content) and graphic design service bundling

- Candidate must be numerically confident — able to walk through their own sales numbers, deal sizes, close rates, and quota attainment without hesitation or vague answers

- Consistent history of achieving/exceeding sales targets (not just carrying a target — hitting it)

- Existing, active network within the Indian digital marketing/marketing services buyer ecosystem (founders, CMOs, marketing directors) that can be leveraged from day one

Preferred Experience

- Prior employer is a known SEO/performance/digital agency (see target company list — recruiter reference)

- Experience with annual sales targets in the ₹50 lakh – ₹1 crore range

- Comfortable presenting to and negotiating with C-level/founder-level stakeholders

- Strong written communication for proposal and pitch deck creation

What We Offer

- Competitive fixed + performance-linked variable pay

- Uncapped/high-ceiling incentive structure tied to retainer value and tenure

- Exposure to marquee enterprise and D2C client portfolios

- Fast-track growth path to Sales Manager / Account Director level

Pay: ₹50,000.00 - ₹70,000.00 per month
