Role Overview
We are looking for a highly motivated Sales Executive to drive new business revenue by selling our suite of skilled services. Unlike product sales, this role requires a consultative approach—you will be responsible for understanding complex client pain points, mapping our service capabilities to their needs, and navigating multi-stakeholder decision-making units.
You are not just a "closer"; you are a hunter who thrives on building pipelines from scratch and a strategic advisor who ensures long-term client success.
Key Responsibilities
1. New Business Development (Hunting)
- Identify, prospect, and qualify leads through cold calling, networking, email campaigns, and social selling (LinkedIn).
- Generate a robust sales pipeline through outbound activity, consistently meeting or exceeding quarterly quotas.
- Penetrate target accounts and navigate through C-Suite, Directors, and Department Heads.
2. Consultative Selling
- Conduct deep-dive discovery sessions to understand the client’s business objectives, technical challenges, and operational gaps.
- Articulate the ROI and value proposition of our services rather than just listing features.
- Prepare and deliver compelling presentations, proposals, and Statements of Work (SOWs).
3. Relationship Management
- Build and maintain strong, long-lasting client relationships based on trust and performance.
- Manage complex negotiations and contract agreements.
- Act as a liaison between the client and our delivery/project management teams to ensure smooth onboarding.
4. Strategy & Reporting
- Maintain accurate forecasts and pipeline data in the CRM (e.g., Salesforce,
HubSpot).
- Provide feedback to the marketing and product teams regarding market trends, competitor activities, and client feedback.
- Continuously update knowledge of our service offerings and industry trends.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Quota Attainment: Achieve 100%+ of quarterly revenue targets.
- Pipeline Generation: Minimum of 100 in qualified pipeline per quarter.
- Conversion Rate: Maintain a healthy win/loss ratio.
- Activity Metrics: Minimum number of calls/emails/meetings per week.
- Client Retention: Ensure smooth handoffs to drive high renewal rates.
Qualifications & Requirements
Experience
- 3+ years of B2B sales experience, specifically selling services (not just physical products).
- Proven track record of over-achieving quotas in a hunter role.
- Experience with solution selling, value-based selling, or SPIN selling methodologies.
Skills
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to present to senior executives.
- Commercial Acumen: Strong financial understanding of margins, pricing structures, and contract law.
- Negotiation: Ability to handle objections and close complex deals with long sales cycles (typically 1–6 months).
- Tech-Savvy: Proficient in MS Office, CRM software, and sales engagement platforms.
Personal Attributes
- Resilience: Thick-skinned and persistent; comfortable with rejection.
- Intellectual Curiosity: Eager to learn about evolving technology/services.
- Competitive: A self-starter with a "winning" mentality.
Pay: ₹15,000.00 - ₹20,000.00 per month
Work Location: In person
