About the Role
We are looking for a result-oriented Inside Sales Executive who can independently identify prospects, conduct cold outreach, demonstrate the KrishiDukan platform, handle objections, close paid subscriptions and follow up until payment is collected.
The role will primarily involve selling KrishiDukan subscriptions and platform services to agricultural-product manufacturers and retailers.
This is an active sales and business-development role. The selected candidate will be responsible for the complete sales cycle—from creating the lead database to collecting payment and assisting with initial onboarding.
Key Responsibilities
- Research and identify agricultural-product manufacturers, distributors and retailers across Maharashtra and India.
- Identify founders, directors, sales heads, marketing heads and other relevant decision-makers.
- Generate leads independently through online research, industry directories, LinkedIn, Google, referrals and existing market networks.
- Make outbound calls, send emails and use WhatsApp professionally to initiate conversations.
- Understand each prospect’s products, distribution network, retailer presence and business requirements.
- Conduct online demonstrations of the KrishiDukan website and mobile application.
- Explain KrishiDukan’s subscription model, product listings, retailer mapping,
manufacturer pages, online-ordering features and promotional opportunities.
- Prepare and share proposals based on the number of products, retailers and subscription duration.
- Handle objections related to pricing, existing distributor networks, expected farmer reach, online orders and return on investment.
- Maintain systematic follow-ups until the prospect makes a clear decision.
- Close paid subscriptions and take responsibility for payment collection.
- Coordinate with the onboarding and product team after payment.
- Maintain accurate lead, call, demonstration, proposal, follow-up and collection records.
- Reactivate old leads, incomplete registrations and previously interested prospects.
- Build long-term relationships to support renewals, upgrades and additional product or retailer listings.
- Share daily updates and weekly sales forecasts with management.
- Provide market feedback, competitor information and recurring customer objections.
Performance Expectations After the initial training and ramp-up period, the role will carry an expected target of approximately ₹2,00,000 in collected sales per month.
Performance will be measured through:
- New leads generated
- Decision-makers contacted
- Outbound calls completed
- Qualified conversations
- Product demonstrations conducted
- Proposals shared
- Follow-ups completed
- Paid conversions

- CRM and reporting accuracy
Expected daily activity may include:
- 40–50 focused outbound calls
- At least 5 qualified conversations
- 2–3 product demonstrations
- Regular follow-ups on active proposals
- Complete daily CRM updates
Final performance will be evaluated primarily on actual collections and quality of the active sales pipeline, not only on call volume.
Required Skills
- Strong verbal communication in Marathi and Hindi.
- Confidence in cold calling and speaking with business owners.
- Ability to understand and explain a technology platform.
- Strong follow-up and negotiation skills.
- Ability to communicate professionally over phone, WhatsApp, email and online meetings.

- Basic knowledge of Excel, Google Sheets or CRM systems.
- Self-discipline and ability to work without continuous supervision.

- B2B subscription sales
- SaaS or technology-platform sales
- FMCG distribution
