Job Title: Field Sales Executive (Architectural Hardware: Dealers & OEMs)
Location: Hyderabad - Field-based (Local industrial clusters, furniture hubs, and hardware markets)
Employment Type: Full-time
Experience: 1–4 years in field sales covering furniture hardware, architectural fittings, laminates, or allied interior trade (candidates with an active network among local modular factories or hardware retailers preferred)
Role OverviewWe are a premier distributor and wholesaler of architectural and furniture hardware fittings (auto-hinges, drawer runners/telescopic channels, sliding solutions, profile handles, kitchen wire baskets, and wardrobe accessories).
We are hiring a sharp, results-oriented Field Sales Executive dedicated to driving bulk volume. Your mandate is 100% focused on two customer segments:
1. OEM & Modular Furniture Factories: Converting factory owners and production heads to use our functional fittings for their regular factory production.
2. Hardware Dealers & Retail Counters: Onboarding new hardware shops, expanding product ranges across retail counters, and securing regular wholesale refill orders.
Key Responsibilities
- Industrial Mapping & Cold Outreach: Systematically map industrial estates, modular production clusters, and retail hardware streets; conduct cold walk-ins to meet business owners, purchase managers, and factory supervisors.
- Sample Testing & Technical Pitches: Carry physical demo kits (soft-close cycles, weight capacities, finish durability); convince factory production heads to test and approve our hinges, slides, and fittings in their production lines.
- Volume Pricing & Negotiation: Pitch tiered wholesale pricing, box/case quantities, and volume-based discounts; negotiate commercial terms within approved company guardrails.
- Securing Regular Run-Rate Orders: Transform one-time trial purchases into weekly or monthly recurring bulk orders by tracking factory production runs and dealer inventory levels.
- Catalog & Counter Placement: Place display boards, branded sample stands, and physical catalogs at dealer counters to boost secondary footfall and visibility.
- Order & Dispatch Coordination: Collect purchase orders, verify warehouse inventory availability, and coordinate timely dispatches to avoid client production downtime.
- Payment Discipline & Recovery: Strictly manage customer payment schedules, collect payments in alignment with agreed credit limits, and handle timely reconciliations.
- Market Tracking: Gather ground intelligence on competitor pricing, credit terms, box packings, and new hardware fittings launched in the market.
Candidate Requirements
- 1–4 years of experience selling directly to furniture workshops, modular manufacturing units, or retail hardware stores.
- Solid commercial sense—understands margins, box packings, carton quantities, and credit days.
- Technically sound on basic fittings: differences in hinge cranks (0°, 8°, 16°), ball-bearing channel gauges, undermount slide types, and metal grades (SS 201 vs 304, zinc alloy).
- High stamina for field travel; must own a two-wheeler with a valid driving license.
- Solid communication and relationship-building skills in the local trade languages.
